ME MONK. ME MEANDER.

Listen, men! Chastity grows with the practice of mercy.
Looking at pornography and engaging your mind in sexual fantasies is a mental rehearsal of, among other things:
— self-centeredness;
— selfishness towards others;
— using others as servants of your own pleasure and preferences.

Masturbation rewards that mental rehearsal with physical pleasure.

Thus, masturbation is a sin that trains you to sin more and more— not only in actions but also in attitudes.

How might you move in the opposite direction?

First: Stop.

Second: Turn around and .........

Absolutely priceless....
Advice on sexuality coming from the practioiner of a major religion that's been exposed time and time again as harboring sexual predators....
There's no limit to the hypocrisy of the Roman Catholic Church and its preparedness to ignore its own failures and deny the damage caused by its heirarchy while spouting advice and platitudes.
It must be tough to live with the knowledge that after two thousand years....the moral fabric of the church itself is replete with molesters thieves and liars...and yet still require that these people (fathers bishops cardinals etc.) be handed the legitimacy of a corrupt faith to be used to address a human condition that they themselves have been unable to marshall....

I guess in your world women don't masturbate, eh? Otherwise you would have changed the title of the thread.

I thought the reason men weren't supposed to masturbate was that they were wasting potential people when they did it. Since that isn't the case with women, I don't see why we shouldn't be allowed...

 

[hermanntrude]

you're wasting potential sex for a man.

 

[tracy]

you're wasting potential sex for a man.

Well, what if he's not around? Then he couldn't possibly have sex with me, so I'm not depriving him of anything... Or what if I am still willing to have sex with him afterwards? Then is it ok?

 

[hermanntrude]

lol I was just making up reasons.

Hey!!! I think I'm turning into a werewolf or something, there fur on my hands.
Masturbating and ogling are as natural as pissing and sneezing. Get a grip.

Rofl. At the rate society is going. One day masturbation will be mandatory to save human kind.

Lol. I'm a thinker, I think without my tinkler.

Ohhhh--Today is the day we give babies away
with a half a pound of tea.
Just open the lid
and out pops a kid
with a half a pound of tea.

I should accept advice on sexual behaviour from celibates who deliberately deny themselves any direct personal knowledge of it? Or so they claim. Not bloody likely. From sanctus I might buy something, he's been married and has children, but in general, no way.

 

[L Gilbert]

Heh heh. I was gonna comment on that bit, but I thought it's too obvious. Good thing I didn't, cuz Dex said it waaaaay better than what I had in mind.
