Masturbation guilt

[sharbl98]

So when i begin to masturbate i start to sing religious prayers and say to my self that i should stop cz its wrong and its a sin. Afterwards, when i finish i feel guilt and feel disgusted from myself and i vontinue my day with bad luck!! And how much i masturbate a day how much i get unlucky. Should i stop or should i countinue with it?? And btw i am a religious person.

You should choose whatever is right for you. Though I will point out some facts.
1) it's natural and occurs in many species in the animal kingdom.
2) if you don't do it, your body will make you have wet dreams quite often. :X

It's okay to masterbate. The only reason that religions started to say it was a sin was because they probably didn't want horny teenagers walking around. I don't see why its harmful or bad. It better than having to commit adultery every time you're horny right?

You should do what you think it right and what you are most comfortable doing...

However, don't feel guilty. Masturbating is extremely, extremely common. It's just a part of being a teenager. Actually, it's just a part of being a guy period. I'm sure there are people out there who don't do it, but I'd assume that the number of people who don't masturbate is very, very small. The majority of men masturbate and there is nothing wrong with it. Like another pointed out as well, wet dreams will occur if you don't masturbate.

Like I said though, do what you feel is right. Although, there is nothing wrong with masturbating. It's more than common. Most every guy does it.

Well masturbation does not cause bad luck, I think you're just superstitious.
Also, i've heard that a lot of people feel guilty after masturbation, and I really don't understand it, how the hell is it "wrong"? It's not harming anybody, it's just satisfying your sexual urges that you get during puberty, there is nothing wrong with that at all.

But if you continue to feel this guilt, then don't do it.
There is nothing wrong with masturbation though, it's not a sin, you shouldn't feel bad about masturbation, but if you do, then simply don't do it.

I am religious and I don't believe it's at all wrong. Jerking off is not going to give you bad luck. It's not wrong and you don't have to quit, but you can if you want.

you know what... i went through the same thing for a while.. and it wasnt nice at all.. i used to cry.. thats how guilty i used to feel, but after a while i started to think theres nothing wrong with it.. its just self pleasuring.. and nothing more.. you are not sick, you are not a sex addict.. you are just experimenting with your body.. and it will eventually end when you get married one day... if you want of course..

..get that idea out of your mind.. it takes a while.. but you will be able to overcome that.. i did.. and i know you can too.. dont let religion to make your life miserable..

I don't have the same concerns you do at all....but masturbation is normal in humans and many mammals as has been pointed out...and as far as the "myths" ---which they are-- about bad luck, hairy knuckles and going blind...they were said to stop boys from masturbating because of society

[Seth16]

I feel the same way. (I'm also religious.) I've never experienced bad luck though. :confused:

In a strict sense it is really a sin to masturbate b'coz God doesn't want it if you will consider the Bible as the written word of God. Masturbation is "Onnanism" Genesis 38:3-10 and against the Sixth Commandment of God.
