Is masturbation healthy or unhealthy?

Xper 6

Sex is not a marriage and if you think marriage is all about having sex, you should probably never do either one because you're perception of both is severely skewed by religion. If you believe being married entitles you to sex, not love or happiness, you're in for a lifetime of being nothing more than a warm place to dump a load. If you're not with someone, you need to find someone to marry in order to be happy, although marriage is not about happiness. Even though you're married and you're entitled to sex, you can't make anyone do anything they don't want to. The majority of your talking points are in conflict with each other. If you can't stick with one side or the other, how can you convince anyone else?

If you only do it twice a week it’s fairly safe. If you do it multiple times every day it’s too much and can loss of energy.

Unhealthy. Not only are you conditioning your body to your hand or whatever you're using or doing to yourself, but you're changing your physiology of how you respond to sex. Not just it is spiritual fornication. Anybody can tell you otherwise, but your the one who will end up suffering or sexually miserable. You're not going to die from lack of sex. If you wanted sex, you should have got somebody to be married to and share that life with. Right now that cannot be your focus. You have to decide what YOU want to do and remember how your choices sexually are affecting your life and potential or future relationships. Just know that it's not.

Yeah, because everyone knows that married people have sex every time they want, the way they want it, and with no complaints.

@honestGUY45 It has nothing to do with married people. But the few who know what sex is, what sex is about and what marriage entitles. People who don't know these things tend to suffer and end up in your position. Asking if masturbation is healthy. And many people who are married today still have those ideas from when they weren't married and taken in into their marriage. That's why you do not do it. But by that time 99.9% of children and young adults have already masturbated or seen porn once.

If it has nothing to do with married people, Then why did you respond with "if you wanted sex, you should have got somebody to be married to". Then you go back and say it's not about married people. Marriage does not entitle you to have sex, your partner's consent does. What do you know about my position? I never asked if it was unhealthy because I do what I want when I want with my body and don't need someone else's approval. I was giving an opinion based on your belief that no one has a right to an orgasm unless they are married. That's my interpretation of your explanation.

Also, if 99.9% have masturbated or seen porn, are you one of the 0.1% that hasn't?
btbc92

@honestGUY45

Yes. I am the 0.1% who haven't and won't because I know that its sex with the self which is a sin. Two if I wanted sex, I get a husband. And 3, sex is a MARRIAGE and MARRIAGE is all about having sex. I would think I know what one would need to do to have a healthy sex life. You can do whatever you want is right, but when you're with somebody else having sex, no you cannot not. Being married does entitle you sex, that is the point of marriage. Not love or happiness. However, you do supply your OWN happiness by being happy on your own as a whole person. Not looking for your spouse to give you the happiness you never had within yourself. You share that together. You learn to grow to love them. But it is a couple choice to love, to have sex or neglect, use, and abuse. You can't make anybody do anything they don't want to do, but then it leads to possible cheating, abandonment or annulment.

And me pointing that out about asking is pointing it out there because many people are suffering, in bad marriages, in broken families and poor relationships besides having terrible sex lives. When it's all very simple. Treat others how you also want to be treated. I know that sex is a part of me and what I make of it and chose to do with it. Not because of it's my body, that those children have to come from my womb, and I will be tied sexually and by the soul with whoever I god forbid lay with. And why suffer myself of sex that is not true when sex comes from me and that person? I know sex is not dirty, so why would I want dirty sex that will leave me miserable and have children born into an environment and lifestyle of whoredoms? So that they can have a bad future? Raped, killed or divorced? Suicidal? I refuse. The rest of you can go ahead.

They're suffering and have broken marriages and sexual issues because of attitudes like the one you just laid out. Find someone to marry because marriage is just for sex and you will learn to love them. Since you are married, they can have sex with you because they are entitled to whether you want it or not. Having sex is my obligation because I am supposed to be a baby factory and my happiness has nothing to do with the marriage. I'm done, I don't have time for crazy.
btbc92

1 y
No, it's more than just attitudes, is knowing what is and what is it okay. You want to talk about what you want to talk about, but you got to look at yourself. I don't make those choices that you made. You're not a baby Factory. You Are a Human Being. If you want to say what I have to say is crazy, that's your opinion. But you're the one that made those decisions not me.
btbc92

No people suffer, people got broken marriages, people have sex issues because people no longer want to do things called White. Living toothpaste on fish. You obviously have a lot of hang up, and issues that you got to work on. Or choose to keep. I don't talk about how you're done or that you don't have time for crazy, when I can actually say the exact same thing about you people. That's why I never dated, never had sex, never bothered with looking for, and chose to stay by myself. Because the attitude that you people have are not worth it.

If you can't do your part in a relationship then you need to stay out of the relationship. I know for a fact if I had ever made a decision to be involved with a man, to get involved with the right kind of man who also shares my values and standards and understands what's expected of him as well as understanding what he expects of me, it will do what he has to do for himself and do right by me. Not get involved with somebody and I cannot handle those responsibilities. Ask any married couple who has been married for over 20, 30, and even 40 years. They will all tell you the same thing. It's give-and-take. Be selfish, and you will have a miserable relationship. Choose Wisely.

You're not listening, fool. I haven't made any decisions to complain about. I am not married, I do not have to be married to have sex, I've been in a 20 year relationship, which has outlasted almost everyone I know, married or not. I can rub one out anytime I want…with or without her help. You keep including me in your examples and I am not under the criteria you speak of. I'm not asking for advice, or wondering where I went wrong. I do not live under the hypocrisy of religious rule. Roll out.
btbc92

1 y
Or maybe you need to just stop replying, and having an attitude that's so nasty and disgusting and making assumptions about a person that you don't even know. I don't care if you're in a 20 year marriage, or in a 20-year relationship. You live under the rules of God's rules it doesn't matter if you agree with religion or not. I don't agree with religion. God is not a religion he is a person as well as spirit. You are still illegally married to who you're with the 20 years under his eyes. You still have a covenant. You can say you can do whatever it is that you want. You still fall under the criteria. And I am very much listening. And all I hear is somebody who has a lot of problems and issues. Probably a God complex. I could tell what I had wrote obviously pushed a few buttons and touch you in some way for you to reply the way you did.
btbc92

Because with somebody who's in the so-called 20-year relationship you don't sound all that happy.

honestGUY45

1 y
Yes, the buttons you pushed is the fact that you don't make any sense. And the God complex I have is that there isn't one because I am atheist. Nothing you can say is going to convince me to think the way you do, so stop stalking me. You need to get laid.
btbc92

1 y
Yes , you do have to be married under God's eyes to have sex. Otherwise, you are in fornication with this person. But it will be you and whoever it is that you're with their have to answer for that.

How the hell am I stalking, you sound like you're crazy.
