REMEMBER MASTURBATION AFFECTS CONCENTRATION [color=#990000][/color][i][/i] SO HELP YOURSELF TODAY,

Masturbating is the same thing as having sex. the difference is that you dont actually insert the dick into the pussy. your hands or any other itemsrepresents the penis or the pussy. At the end, you are satisfied after climaxing.

For a christian, it is very bad and it affects your relationship with God when you are single. You would still have that feeling of guilt over you that you have actually sinned against Him. Besides that, it becomes a habit that is very hard to stop even when you later get married.

For the married ones, you would begin enjoy it more than having sex with your partner when it becomes a habit. And that is definitely not good

Masturbation for the men folk is as bad as mental illness.
It has both negative spiritual, biological, mental ,phsycological effect on men when done excessively.
Many doctors will tell you ,it is okay and have no negative effects but ancient medicine/wisdom and modern research have proven that excessive masturbation is as good as slow suicide.

One Poster said if a husband and wife are living apart, would the wife, (I say husband too), prefer the other to masturbate or have sex with someone else? According to the word, the bed is undefiled when a man and woman marry, and God did not specify what type of sexual pleasure a husband and wife can induldge in. Matter fact, folks, a husband and wife who are apart can masturbate (even when talking to one another on the phone)--which would then be classified as masturbation/phone intimacy. Why act as though sexual urges do not affect us more than we let on. I would rather masturbate with, or without my husband, than have sex with another man and feel guilty and unworthy to be called a wife. Now that to me is the real guilt. If we must relieve ourselves sexually and cannot hold out, I say masturbate rather than cheat (if married) or commit fornication (if single).

Guess what, I am a Christian. Christian or no Christian, we all have sexual needs. And guess what, God himself, created us with those strong sexual urges that need to be satisfied. Now speaking again to the single, to me, it is better to masturbate to get sexual release than to have sex without being married. Again, if one cannot contain themself, then masturbation is better than fornication. I did not see a scriputre where masturbators will NOT enter the Kingdom of Heaven--did you? Fornicators and adulterers are in danger of hell if they do not repent, but no where does it say masturbating will send you to hell.

love you ma'am, i tell my wife to do so, i am a sailor, and will never want commit adultery if you know you do not have sexual urges, then you are not normal, body chemistry will always get hold of you, and if you do not release that tension, it can cause frustration, headache, and other unproductive conditions, as a matter of fact research shows tha 97% of men masturbate and 87% of women. Igot married early to avoid fornication, and be free from sexual imprisonment, this is the most common problem to all.
if you are not married and you do not masturbate, or your wife is away, how do you ease your sexual tension. and iwill ask these anti masturbtion gangs, they even hav low resistance to sexual temptations, and on my surveys, about 65%of masturbator have better control than those who do not.
most surprisingly again, in my surveys, most guys who are against masturbation, do have secret illicit sex,enjoy pornographs and lust easily, which is worse. i love christian who know scriptures. GBAM!!!!

Hey guys,it's nice to have all of you share from your different point of views about this issue of masturbation. It will be unfair of me if I dont share with you from my personal experience. Masturbation in itself is medically good if it does not become addictive but masturbation is very wrong according to the christian faith. On both hands, excessive masturbation(EM) is destructive. I am a living victim of excessive masturbation and I came accross this topic during my search for a solution. I have been masturbating since 1997 when a friend introduced me to it in school when I was just 15 years of age, now it is a ravaging storm in my life up till this moment(pls, warn your kids about bad companies). I am addicted and it's hard to quit. I have done a lot of researches and tried a lot of medications that can help one quit, I have even tried clinging hard to my spiritual faith(christianity), but I see myself falling several times and rising only once in a while. I know very well that I am full of great potentials but this habit has ruined them all and I will only be able to release my full potential the day I quit this habit but I will be back in time but I hope it won't be too late by then. EM affects you physically and psychologically. Physical symptoms that I have are emanciation(skinny), occassional blured vision, body pain and stiffness. Psychological includes depression, lack of concentration, memory loss, worthlessness. Others include insomania, fatique, pounding heart, premature ejaculation. You can see I am very close to death. I would long have been gone but God blessed me with toughness of the mind and body. I have considered cutting my manhood but it's such a hard thing for me to do. If you know any one who can help spiritually or medically, please send me a mail: blackguyy77@yahoo.com. Thank you

IT DWARFS THE INTELLIGENCE!

"Dwarfs the intelligence"??  How so?

drlizzy:
IT IS ADDICTIVE!

No more habit-forming than nail-biting, perhaps.  Addictive?  No.  Not at all.  Not in any way, shape or form.

drlizzy:
IT IMPAIRS JUDGMENT!

Care to quote the study this is from?

drlizzy:
IT PROMOTES EARLY SENILITY!

Isn't this a contradiction in terms?

drlizzy:
IT INSTILLS A KIND OF SOCIAL AND MORAL COMPLEX!

Well, please tell us what kind of "social and moral complex" this is, so that we can recognize it when we see it.

drlizzy:
IT SICKENS THE MIND!

How so?  In what ways does this "mind sickness" manifest and present itself?

drlizzy:
IT SPEEDS YOU UP TO DEVELOPING EARLY PROSTRATE PROBLEMS!

Most men are more concerned about developing PROSTATE problems rather than "prostrate" problems.

drlizzy:
LONG TERM PRACTICES DEVELOP BENDED BODIES IN STATURE AND IN WALKING PATTERN!

What about malnutrition and lack of weightbearing exercise?

drlizzy:
MEN THAT PRACTICE THIS ARE VERY UNRELIABLE AND THEY FIND IT DIFFICULT TO MAKE CONCRETE DECISIONS.

Why is it that you mention only males in this? Females also masturbate. Unreliable in what terms? What sort of decisions?

drlizzy:
THESE PEOPLE ARE VERY SHY IN NATURE AND FIND IT DIFFICULT TO LEAD.THEY ARE FAILURES IN MAKING PRESENTATIONS.

THESE PEOPLE HAVE A HIGH POTENTIAL FOR REVENGE.THEY ARE VERY UNPREDICTABLE.

How can they be vengeful if they are shy? If they are "failures" then how can they be unpredictable? According to your post, everybody knows they won't succeed in their revenge, so what's to worry about?

Why are people treating this issue like its the evilest thing lol,

That has to be the most ignorant comment of all, lol @ the bended bodies comment, ahn ahn take am easy, where u get ur information from?
I bet youre a very one sided individual, and very irrational, God help you

it leads to addiction and psychological effects such as lack of confidence before the opposite gender. the effects could be traumatic just as cancer is

@denny4ril:
We've already established that the act is NOT addictive. Yes, it is habit forming. There is a difference.

As far as the effects being as traumatic as cancer, please note that masturbation is neither potentially disfiguring or deadly.

Dear forumites, is there any connection between masturbation and prostate?

From a Christian perspective, masturbation is not good. I really don't think God created man to self-service and to prove that, He created an Eve.
Generally speaking, masturbation is something nobody brags about, so if you hide to do it, why do it? Or are you ashamed? Would you be embarrassed if your vibrator fell on the floor at the bus stop?
Masturbation ain't right. I personally feel it weakens your performance sexually.

its bad, spiritually and physically,
a lot of energy /calories is used by the body 2 produce semen, and it takes the body 75days to produce semen n 15days for it 2 mature, so the semen u shoot out in jan was actually produced in sept!, also u loose abt 5mg of zinc every time u ejac, so if u mas,turbate a lot, ur body will hv zinc deprivation, n its attendent consequences, u can google it, if u doubt me

my broda
