Masturbation is wrong?

[ParkerSteve66]

I agree masturbation is wrong except in emergency situations. Otherwise, get out there and get you a partner to get off with.

If it was that fucking easy, definitely my first choice.

If masturbation is wrong, I don’t want to be right. One of life’s great free pleasures.

As Woody Allen, noted expert on depravity said, "Masturbation is sex with someone I love."

I am groaning at the thought of how many people just went, "Woody who?"

Masturbation is disgusting, abhorrent and deeply frowned upon. Now if you'll excuse me.......

I just finished the book, "I Heard You Paint Houses". It's the inside story of the mafia. The main character, Frank Sheeran said that he never masturbated. The church (Catholic) was against it and so was he.

Is this really a Catholic thing? I used to have a female friend who thought it was disgusting so she'd just hook up with various guys to get sex. She had one abortion and one child born out of wedlock.

My ex husband thought it was disgusting as well.

But I know a ton of other Catholic people and the subject just never came up.

Is this really frowned upon?

I think it is more of a Christian thing. I was raised around religion and been around many versions of it. I found Catholics are more lenient on things and Christians are more hardcore. But if you hit a Christian’s switch just right all their religion nonsense goes out the window.

Also my mother that raised me in the US but she grew up in Europe is catholic. Church rosary etc. She used to buy me Playboys and Penthouses.

I think we’re all taking this a little too seriously.I think every man I’ve ever known has done it. (Not so sure about other women) but my wife does it. I think of it as just a part of life. When i was a kid you could always tell if your buddies were doing it because they had odd tube socks hanging out of their hampers and they jumped to stuff them in whenever you went into their room. In fact growing up we were poor and we would get a pair of jeans for our birthday. My mother would cut the bottom off of one pocket so we would have something to play with.

I caught my daughter doing it. Well I can’t give out the details but all I can say is I told her there isn’t anything wrong with what she is doing just do it privately. Preferred in your own room.

If it's wrong, I can't be right.

In my Christian faith, I've heard some priests say that pornography and masturbation are the two deadliest enemies of a marriage.

Speaking just for myself, pornography and masturbation are great blessings in my life that allow my marriage to be as successful as it is.

 

[bill4672a]

Conservative evangelicals all believe masturbation is wrong. They argue sex is reserved for marriage and procreation only. All other sexual acts are deviant. It is thinking like this that lies behind the guilt so many people feel about sexual activity

It's unfortunate how the church and its community will turn something so pleasurable into something ugly and dirty. But it took me a long time to allow myself to orgasm, because I just knew God was watching and judging. Conservative society has to stick its nose into everyone's business and screw it up!

 

[SallyIsHere]

How silly, letting a religion dictate your most private behaviors. I will pass.

 

[Bisexguy70]

If masturbation is wrong… i dont want to be right

 

[womaneater58]

Agreed. I don't want to be right either and won't deprive myself the pleasure.

 

[jenni_bean]

Forgive me Father for I have sinned. I touched myself 24 times this week...

 

[shewantsmore]

Why does the catholic church think masturbation is wrong, surely everyone has tried it or experienced or thought about it. Im not a religious person so dont know about other faiths.. if it helps with stress surely its not bad

 

[GregThickDix]

Yes it was a sin, and being an alter boy and raised a hardened catholic, I never masturbated until after high school. I can tell you I had a ton of wet dreams though. Now, I never confessed to the priest in confession for my sins, so purgatory is going to be a hell of a long time for me.

 

[ParkerSteve66]

Very early on I decided if "God sees and knows EVERYTHING you do", then God can only exist in your head.

 

[ParkerSteve66]

Greg, it is my understanding that masturbation is a mortal sin and you have to confess that to a priest.

You are correct. But, I stopped confessing anything to a priest (or going to church) when the arbitrary mortal sin of eating meat on Friday was dispensed with. What the fuck happened to all the people that ate meat on a Friday and died before confession - they all went to hell. Made no sense, so I stopped going to church or believing any of the Catholic Church crap!

 

[LonRivers]

Correct me if I am wrong, but I have yet to see any passage that says "masturbation is wrong in females too!" I have only seen it where the they talk about masturbation being wrong in men. Men are supposed to impregnate, spread their seed, father children "be fruitful and multiply". But, what about women? Women can indulge is that pleasure and it is OK?

I think this stems from the fact that the Catholic Church looked down at women and being "nothing but barer of children, mothers and wives" objects who were there to simply provide a vessel to bare children. They didn't think that women too got horny and took matters into their own hands when the man was too busy raising pitchforks and torches and crying for the heads of Queens.

Hundreds of years ago it was a matter of keeping control over the masses through religious persecution. Fear. It was pounded into our heads that this was wrong and this was right. To do this meant hell and damnation and to do this was the way to save your souls. I find it hard to believe that playing with yourself is a sure fire way to go to hell when there are actual evils in this world far worse than spraying your shower wall with DNA.

I could not agree more.

Actually, the "spilling your seed on the ground" referenced in Genesis: "Then Judah said to Onan, 'Go in to your brother’s wife, and perform your duty as a brother-in-law to her, and raise up offspring for your brother.' Onan knew that the offspring would not be his; so when he went in to his brother’s wife, he wasted his seed on the ground in order not to give offspring to his brother."

Its not about masturbation, but about coitus interuptus. Onan refused to impregnate his widowed sister-in-law.

In Islam, masturbation is makruh.
In Wicca, "All acts of love and pleasure are my rituals."

When I was in Catholic High School, I had a Brother who met with me privately and brought up the subject of masturbation. During the discussion, he encouraged me to masturbate in front of him. I didn't. I'm pretty sure he would have prevented me from masturbating by replacing my hand with his or giving me a blowjob instead. However, soon after, I did manage to acquire a personal cocksucker (not the Brother) who managed to curtail my masturbation. I guess his "mission" wound up being accomplished anyway although he didn't enjoy the "fruits" of his labor.

I wrote a true story published here on Lit about my personal cocksucker: https://www.literotica.com/s/tribute-to-a-cocksucker

Finding cocksuckers cured me of masturbatingtoo.
