Is masturbation evil?

I give full credit for this debate to Dacey. She mentioned it to Joecavalry earlier and, noticing that I had never seen one either, thought I'd make one.

Yes

I believe it is because I believe the only person you should have sex with is your husband/wife. Therefor sex with anyone els (including yourself) is wrong. That's just me. I'm not forcing anything on anyone. And I don't care if you do it.

I will go ahead and answer the question:

"who does it hurt?"

I believe it to be a sin so it hurts you. But how dare I share my religious beliefs.

Moral debates like this are kind of pointless because it's pure opinion. And almost always results in rebellious Christian bashing.

Side: yes

I was kinda hoping for a religious debate. A medical one would enjoyable, too. Why doesn't anybody give the good things about masturbation?

This is a moral debate? Who knew. Can you think of any reasons why moral debates might lead to Christian 'bashing'?

Or maybe I'm off topic. This is a mass debate about bashing the bishop.

Who does masturbation hurt? Jesus? Boo hoo!

In fact... I'd much rather kids masturbate than have sex!

You have to love yourself before you can love someone else. ;P

Side: No

Are you equating love and sex/orgasms? They are two different things. Loving yourself has nothing to do with shooting your load :)

Side: No

Then are you willing to substitute 'sex education' for 'masturbation education'?

I can see it now- kids ejaculating all over the place creating bio-hazards.

Though I must concede, masturbation is definitely more tolerable than the evil of teaching kids how they can have sex.

Side: yes

... Do you have to teach kids to masturbate?

They figure it out on their own.

There's a distinction between being concerned by the probable consequences and having an over active, if somewhat distorted, imagination.

Side: No

why would it be evil? Animals do it and so does man, so what would make the pleasure of ones self evil? the fact that it goes against catholic and christian rule of baby making is ludicrous. You cant make your hand pregnant ......OR CAN YOU

I recall a couple of news articles I read via News of the Weird.

Judge get arrested after masturbating (noticably, I might add) during trial.

Mental institute orders nurses to help patients masturbate. Three (I think, maybe 2) quit.

There are lots of other ones.

Side: No

No... we should not be afraid of our own bodies... nor we should we teach our children to be afraid. By the way... abstinence from masturbation only builds on the stimulation to have sex... which actually has potential to produce some unwanted results... as opposed to masturbation. Masturbation is a safe bet.

Side: No

my only authority is psychology. all psychologist agree that masturbation is a way to stimulate yourself without a partner,and they consider it a perfectly normal act. adolescents discover their body's and sexual capacity with masturbation therefore reducing the threat of saving and suppressing your ego which will explode some day in ways that are socially and legally unacceptable like rape,or frigid sex...keeping your body sexually active allows you to have a normal stat between the ego and the super-ego.psychologist consider masturbation to be a problem or a complex disorder act if the person has the opportunity to have sex and chooses masturbation instead,that is the only way to consider masturbation wrong.

Hey and the first time you ever spoke to me you asked why i created stupid debates.

Well thanks for creating it , you could have at least sent me an invite.

Now i have a book here titled

Ladies Handbook of Home Treatment.

[entered under the Australian Commonwealth act 1912]

Teaches a woman the "facts of life and how to be a good housewife and mother"

It refers to masturbation being an act of self abuse , or a secret vice

CHAPTER XVII

DESEASES OF THE URINARY AND GENITAL ORGANS .

There is a list that states to be a Prevention of Secret Vice list of guidance for the mother to adopt should the problem arise with her child.

"Prevention of Secret Vice: To each mother we would say:-(just a few of the 14 points.)

1. Remember that your child is as liable as any other to contract the habit of self- abuse.

5. Do not allow your child to associate with children of questionable character.

7.Never allow your child to sleep awy from home unless under the immediate care of a trustworthy adult.

11.Never tell the child an untruth concerning himself or anything that pertains to human life and growth.

13.Fill the life of the growing child with many interests.Keep thbyouthful mind occupied with wholesome and aspiring books.Encourage interesting and useful hobbies , also active sport which is likely to sufficient weariness to demand deep and refreshing slumber rather than the sense gratification attending masturbation.

14. Do not try to keep your child out of the world ; but so educate and train him that he may be kept from the evil that is in this world.

OK are you all laughing yet ?

Dont worry this book also states ;

"During the period of puberty the growing girl should have an abundance of rest and sleep.The great drain made upon the body resources at this time renders this necessary.It is a great mistake to allow a girl to attend lectures or any form of evening entertainment which would interfere with her retiring at an early hour"

and

"The mother should see that her daughter has an ample supply of fresh air both day and night. The girl should not be allowed to work in a shop , office , or in any place where she will be deprived of daylight and fresh air.To work under such conditions is always bad, but it is particularly so at the time of puberty.The girl's sleeping room should always be well ventilated, or better still , she should sleep on a balcony or verander in the open air"

I love these old guide books.

My oppinion is:

Orgasm leads to the fountain of youth.

Side: No

Yes, I was laughing.

The reason I disliked the other argument: I had been on here for about a week and was partaking in all of these debates about abortion, global warming, Obama, etc. And then I see one called something like 'the flying flatulence arseman.' What am I to think? I look at your other debates and see similar ones. However, the more I look at some of your arguments, the more I'm starting to like them.

How can something that doesn't harm anyone be evil? In fact masturbation is good because it allows those who don't find a partner to enjoy sexual pleasure without raping someone.

Side: No
