Masturbation (Right Or Wrong)

MASTURBATION ( RIGHT OR WRONG)

In life everything has a standard of operation, it will be wrong to change certain procedures established by the Creator just to fit our selfish interest. These standards includes sex, most people who masturbate say they feel a sense of guilt and unhappiness after the act. In truth, if the act of masturbation was right the guilt won't be there, but because there is a conscience to warn and encourage us at every good and wrong thing we do, this automatically sets in to tell us that the act is wrong. Sex requires exchange of energies between the couple, but masturbation is a waste of this energy. In conclusion sex is for lovers, and love is the foundation for a strong relationship.

  • "if the act of masturbation was right the guilt won't be there, but because there is a conscience to warn and encourage us at every good and wrong thing we do"
    I completely disagree with this - people's morals can be twisted to make anything seem right or wrong. For example, some people are crazy enough to believe that killing people is right and they are being called to do this - this is because they have been brainwashed and it proves people's morals can be twisted depending on what they are taught. This means that our moral compass isn't always reliable.

    I also have to disagree with your suggestion masturbation is wrong because "sex requires exchange of energies between the couple, but masturbation is a waste of this energy". How exactly is wasting your own energy wrong lol? And surely your argument promotes sex before marriage instead of masturbation (which I'm assuming you think is wrong too).

    But if masturbation is truly wrong and people rightly feel guilty...
    I masturbate, I don't feel guilty and there's nothing you can or will ever be able to do to stop me :).

  • Some people feel guilty because of social conditioning. They only feel guilty because other people keep telling them it's a bad thing, that it's unhealthy etc. Psychologists have come to the conclusion that masturbation is healthy (in moderation of course), as it releases tension and helps you relax. Now why would something perfectly normal, human and healthy be something to feel guilty about? Because certain backwards people keep shoving it down other people's throats, "because God said so" lol.

  • The only reason people feel guilt about masturbating is because people have made them feel that way. If sex and our bodies were talked about openly no one would feel guilty about it.

    Sex to you is for lovers. But I believe that in order to love someone you have to love yourself. Masturbation is self love. It also feels good and should be enjoyed

  • Your reasoning will only work with religious people. While I actually agree with you, most people sadly will not. And I believe all people feel guilty when they first start masturbating regardless of how young they are because it is actually wrong, but with time people get used to it and the guilty feeling stops coming

  • I think often people feel guilt because they've been told it's bad or it's been hinted that masturbation and sex in varying circumstances, is bad.

    I think when people hit a certain age they see that that's not true and they are free to enjoy what's natural.

    • They feel it is wrong because their body knows that it should be feeling those feelings with a partner.

    • *I hope when people hit a certain age... @Dim_121 hmmm, biologically and from an evolutionary stand point, you have no evidence to back up your claim. So... yea... but hit me with a good journal article and I'll read it.

  • Babies masturbate in the womb and I highly doubt they're feeling guilty. If a being untouched by society does it innately, are you certain that "standard procedures" are being changed by selfishness and not actually by religious beliefs? It seems that in fact religion is the culprit that is making people feel guilty and not the bogus you wrote about.

  • Rub one out, put some purell on your hands and go to confession😉
    But on a serious note, perhaps, the person who feels guilty, feels guilty because of who/what they jerked off to

    • that order of events is crucial to follow.

    • @Dandeus lol I was thinking the same😊

  • Umm no... it's not unnatural, many species masturbate. No it's not unnatural over 95% of people admit to masturbation... No it is not wrong to change procedures that a supposed "Creator" has, otherwise medicine would be immoral. So just no all around.

    Although the bible does say that it would be better for your seed to fall into the belly of a whore than to spill on the dust (believe that line is also in the Quran)

  • You're entitled to your own beliefs, but if you refuse to accept that other people have different ideas, you're going to run into opposition from people. If it's opposition from people like myself, it's going to end up being unpleasant and unrewarding, because you are not going to win.

  • I used to feel guilty when I was younger and it was mostly because I was born with religious influences, but now? I honestly couldn't care less. There's nothing bad or wrong about it. Just don't let it become a priority.

  • the idea that masturbation is bad for you stems from the religious nuts. if you wank, you'll go blind... wrong.

    seriously, just look at all the torture devices that were created to stop people pleasuring themselves in the name of religion. utter madness.

    religion is evil and is the major cause of murder and torture the world over.

    masturbation is harmless in comparison.

  • Just curious - why do think masturbation is contrary to to God's will? There's nothing in scripture against it.
    There are two major issues with your argument.
    Unsubstantiated premise:
    How do you know how mastubators feel? What's your evidence for this?
    Illogical argument:
    Essentially people have been taught that masturbation is a sin, therefore they feel bad for committing the sin. Their guilt proves that masturbation is a sin. What it shows is that they are good conscientious people who think they have sinned. They think that because those responsible for the forrmation of their moral compass suffered under the same delusion.

  • People feel guilty about it because apparently religions are oh so helpful in helping you become a better person and not feel like shit about yourself, being doomed to being an eternal shitty person (read: sinner) for your entire life because reasons

    oh wait, that'll probably just make you feel miserable

    oh well

  • A big no no for the religious guilty ones.

  • The reason you feel guilty is because it's something that you discover that felt amazing and you did something that shows you are on the way to adulthood. By your submission, it sounds wrong to have a wet dream and you need to confess this to a priest so he can, through 'god', forgive you.
    As soon as I read 'the Creator" I stopped taking the post seriously.

  • People could feel guilty because their parents or communities tell them they should. I masturbate and idgaf about any imaginary gods opinions. It feels good, it's good for you, and people have the right to do it.

  • I dont think this is one of those things anyone is ever going to be able to control regardless of how wrong or right people feel it is. All I have to go on is my own experience but for me especially when I was younger, not masturbating was simply not an option. 2 weeks was hell, a month was unthinkable, and anything longer... hahahahaha.

  • I don't feel guilty after masturbation and generally never have. Most people say they feel guilty? That's a hell of a claim. Can you support that?

    Sex requires exchange of energies between the couple? How do you know this, and what kind of energies? I'd posit that sex is two people BURNING stored energy and converting it to heat, which dissipates. But it does also exchange hormones (this process works better if you have a normal, intact penis), which changes the way they feel about each other.

    So, it sounds like you're hung up on some religious mysticism to me. If you feel guilty after masturbation, it's because someone is filling your head up with shit.

    • "sex and masturbation are wrong because they generate heat which contributes to global warming"

  • I fuck myself all the time with various devices and feel fucking fabulous about it.

    • What type of sextoys do you use? And do you remember at what age you started masturbating?

    • I use all types of toys and no I don't.

    • Few people can actually remember when they started lol What is your masturbation frequence?

  • Haha society makes everybody feel bad about everything they feel or do. Everybody does it and fucking enjoys it too. Trying leaving it alone for a while if you can't get somebody to sort you out. You'll want to rape a hole in the wall after a few weeks. If we were just meant to wait for a willing partner God would have gave it an on and off switch. Then you'd have something to feel guilty about
