Can I stop?

[Some Guy]

I try not to masturbate because my church does not allow it. But I keep on touching myself. Any good ways to stop?

[Aηdy]

Not really, just don't do it. But if you really want to just do it, it's your life, millions of other people do it.

what the church doesn't know, can't hurt them ;)

And if they did know... what are they gonna do? Chop it off? :P

[tomuk66]

ha. well, we both know some of these religious nutters would like to...

You brought this up before, as I recall, and I really liked what i said. can you go search it out? I think it might be useful to you, esp. since you still seem to be bothered.

As a public service reminder to others here, i think it's important to respect the values of others, even if you do not necessarily understand or agree with them. Maybe someone could add/comment/or otherwise offer constructive adivce?

as a final word from me; just do it anyway. no one will know and god surely wouldn't want you missing out on the fun!

Honestly, why would God make this soo hard (to not do it), and then not want you to masturbate instead of having premarital sex? At no point is it mentioned in the Bible, probably because the people at the time saw it as a natural part of living and decided it was not important enough to even be mentioned ONCE! Besides, if you DON'T masturbate, you ejaculate it all in a wet dream anyways! You can still be at this church and masturbate; it's your PERSONAL relationship with God and you own beliefs that matter.

By the way, this is coming from a Christian... who masturbates every day :D .

Very true, partner! :cool:

Well if its your church that is making you stop then maybe you should pray to your lord to give you the strength to stop. im sure its possivle

[jakejohn]

if i were you, i wouldn't listen to the church and keep doing it
but if you really want to stop, just block all the porn sites on your computer, get rid of your porn mags, get something for you to do rather than jacking off

[Sugaree]

Why would God tell His church that "You can't masterbate"? To me man that sounds pretty screwed up!

[sassy boi]

if they are saying that god does not want you to masturbate then its wrong because god made us (apparently) therefore he isnt bothered i would of thought

[Camazotz]

Well, it's really up to you. I masturbate and Im a Cathloc. Its not like youre hurting or harming anyone, and if anything, it reduces stress. Besides, youll just ejaculate in a wet dream, so its just saving embaressment.

[Mollie]

if you truely believe that its a sin then stop

however, lots of religious people dont think this, so if youre one of them then carry on lol

but i dont think theres anything to help you stop lol... except just not doing it!

Agreed.

[ThatCanadianGuy]

Besides, why would God not want you to do something that is going to happen anyway (that is, you'll have a wet dream anyway, so what's the big deal). Heck, even ANIMALS do it! Therefore this is obviously something natural that we SHOULD be doing to keep us heathly (prostate cancer as an example).

Well, the only religion I know that doesnt alow it is LDS. Does your church say that masturbation is a sin? or lustful thoughts caused by masturbating?
