[whizz_kid_15]

im a christian and im not sure wether i should masturbate or not. any1 got any help?

[kolte]

masturbation is normal. but if your a christian then you should consult other christians...cuz I think that it doesnt matter, but other people might.

[DouggyO.o]

im christin and i do, i guess it depnds on how u and ur religious church feels

[Melchi0r]

Masturbation has nothing to do with religion, so do it only if you think it's right. But let's not get into an argument about religion, for we already have a thread about it in TWPR.

[Joe]

Im a christian, theres nothing against it in the bible.

[seriously_confused0404]

I'm christian to and there's nothing wrong about it. The bible doesn't even mention masturbation, let alone say it's wrong.

I'm a chirstian and It is perfectly normal to masturbate. I go at it 2-3 times a day. It doesnt make you a bad person.

[BillyWitchDoctor.com]

im chrisitan and i do it alot. i used to feel like i was bad for doing it but then i realized that you should rather be happy and be free to do things u like instead of always not doing something cus ur not sure if its right.

[krzwis]

you guys are all wrong...it does say in the bible not to jack off....your pleasuring yourself, you are getting lust ful feelings and acting on them.

however your not gonna burn in hell or anything for doing it.

just do it on occasion, control your dirty thoughts, etc



but above all, if your christian try to live your life for jesus, and don't think about stoking ever 5 minutes





i know that sounds lame and wierd....but i'm just telling you.

I'm christian and i'm proud of it.

[whizz_kid_15]

thnx krzwis btw i luv dat song lol

[mike1]

it is fine

[advent_child]

Masturbation is fine. If your Catholic, as am I, you are tought pretty much "If it feels good DONT DO IT!" But who follows every tenant of a faith? I once read in some wierd book that it is okay, just so long as you don't think about women. :P

[krzwis]

its not that it "feels good...don't do it"

its more like "if it can seperate your relation with god, don't do it"

or

"if it fills your life, don't do it"

temptation pretty much, and giving into temptation can be risky
but you won't burn in hell

you'll only really burn in hell if you turn your back on jesus
(thats the simplifide version of it)

Exactly... I am catholic and as long as it isnt your entire life jacking off. Also, that is what forgiveness is for. At all Catholic masses you are forgiven of your sins...

yeah and also if you cant stop, just read the gospels over and over again... it works...


"I could sing of your love forever"

[wadeexpo]

im christian and i do...
hope that helps

[slickslayer]

hey, just say this 10 times fast over and over again


In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen

[Dhills185]

Im a christian as well i do it but i just have this weird feeling that it says some where in the bible not to. (i havent read the whole bible)
Proud to be a christian

[Junior!]

Hi, there. I am also christian. I mastrbuate. I don't let christian religion get into my habits of sexual stuff.

that should be the other way around....

you shouldn't let sex habbits get caught in religion

just control them both carefully

[sanj]

Well I am a Hindu- but I have resisted masturbation for over a year, and still going, so it is about will-power, as well as pleasing God/the holy spirit. I found this a great effort, but I used a good link that helped me understand more about it!!

you are hindu you say? I am buddhist, and i find it strange that you would be against masturbation. Why againt it? Buddhism doesn't say ordinary people can't masturbate, although it is prohibited by the Buddha's rules for monks and nuns, who are supposed to live celibate and chaste lives. In general, Buddhist teachers recommend that we keep track of desire, how it comes and goes. Sometimes, they say, not acting on impulse--like the urge to masturbate--we can see how desire falls away if you don't give in to it immediately. According to Hinduism, sexual pleasure is part of kama, one of the four goals of life. On the matter of masturbation, Hindu scripture is silent, neither labeling bad nor encouraging the practice.

Not right, www.celibacy.org- then if you download the ebook, you'll hear the masters speak against masturbation- like the yogis and saints from Hinduism- it also corresponds to transcending the lower 'chakras,'- and more info can be found at www.meditationexpert.com- then scroll down to the 189 pages on chi transformation(kundalini) in Hindu terms.

[kolte]

But is sexual pleasure not KAMA, wouldnt masturbation fall under sexual pleasure?

[sanj]

Yes- it is kama. But it can also be through too much sex indulgence! In general, that is why it has to be controlled, and transcended!

[kolte]

I can see how it is giving into desire, something that is not very pure of heart, however, I can also see the irrelevence of it. I doubt the God's would punish you for it.

[Fruitloop0111]

ur not gonna get struck by lightning for masturbation... take me 4 example, im anglican (bit less strict from catholic, but same sorta thing) + ive been lightning free for 14yrs 6mnts!!

if it feels good, do it!

[AC.wAkeBoArDin.06]

Jews are open to anything. Masterbation and Sex before marrage... Also Homosexuality is accepted in our religion now a days.

[Fruitloop0111]

NOW THATS FREEDOM...

any way, dispite my dads dismay (he is VREY racist!) alot of people have alot in comoun.

Christians, Jewish People + Muslims all worship one god, + there is 1 building in the world, cant remember where, where all those 3 religions are all in one building...

any way - VIVA JEWISH FREEDOM

[R&b_Boy]

just go ahead and masterbate.. enjoy ur self.. i know i enjoy myself,lol

[josh34123]

im a christian to I read some where that Pope John Paul said that it was bad for catholics or something like that it is ok

[sanj]

It is frowned upon in most religions- in Hinduism it is not to be done- well I'm sure God will forgive, but if your sexual desire is uncontrollable, it is advised to marry and have sex- but it must be regulated!

[kolte]

its is not wholy good, but it is not wholy bad. I don't think it helps or hurts karma.

[sanj]

It does interfere with the spirit and God- but it doesn't mean you'll go to hell either, although many people stuggle making this sacrifice, and I'm sure God understands that- as he made these urges so powerful!!

[northskater110]

im christian and do it i just say i was masturbating in confession...... god forgives...

[Goatse69]

god cries when you touch yourself. if you do you should prepare to "sipeth from thine cup of wrath"
David 2:11

Then that means god pours his eyes out everyday.

Yeah masturbate totally. If we had a club for masturbation, jeez it'll be even more popular than Star Trek.

[itsbs2]

i think that only mormans are not allowed to masturbate, but i could be complretely wrong because i am jewish

[Aηdy]

Well you've gotta think, if you are religious and believe in god ect. why would he ''invent'' masturbation if it was a ''sin''

[sanj]

Maybe to test your level of resistance- whether you'll give in to fleshy pleasures or try to control it!

[randomdude222]

well theres nothing wrong with it. im a christian. but when u masterbate u shouldn't think of very dirty thoughts. god doesnt want us to think this way. u could think about the feeling of gettin there or soemting. i know its very hard. lol. sometimes i dont follow this.

[northskater110]

when i masterbate i think, if god made our penis's give us pleasure, doesn't he want us to be happy? u think about that kid

[normanford]

oh come on, god loves us right? so why wouldn't he let us do what makes us happy?
i sound like a hedonist right now, dont i?
sry just a quick thought

[Hyper]

You should seriously stop necro posting..
