Catholic and Masturbation

*I only intend to show a flaw in the religion. If you feel you do not like to hear about flaws in the religion please do not read it (you have a right not to). I read the rules I didn't find anything that could stop this one. Please note that this content should not be viewed by anyone under 16. Please press the back button if you are under 16* Thanks.

*No names of the real people will be mentioned*

After some events with a person on MSN who didn't masturbate due personal and religious reasons I read up on the catholic and masturbation. It seems that the catholic religion indeed says it’s wrong to masturbate (http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/2964/masturbation2.html). However I feel that statement does not match the current time or the people.

Teenagers going through puberty have the wet dreams (but some many not have a single one at all and still be perfectly ok). Some may get these wet dreams until they die but most of the time they stop at around 17-18. This is because the body starts to control itself and stop producing sperm. Even though most religious people may consider masturbation as a *bad* act. However it seems that not masturbating is a bad act because it could lead to one destroying himself. I do not believe any religion says that a person should knowingly destroy them self’s.

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erotic_sexual_denial (under Long term denial) it seems modern science has proven that it is a good act and gives protection to things such as prostate cancer. I believe cancer did not exist at the time the rules of the catholic religion was made. (God has given us a brain to think use it! Don’t let God tell you what is wrong and right)

If the argument is pleasuring yourself is selfish look through your past. You could have given that tasty food plate to a hungry beggar. You could have given all your money to poor people and become a beggar but what will happen to your children? In this modern world things don't come for free. We save money for a reason. And just like that people masturbate for a reason(s) such as pleasure and protection from cancer and other prostate related problems. People like to eat testy food because it feels good to eat tasty food and people masturbate because it feels good and protects there body.

Some rules of the catholic religion is far out of date in my point of view. I know a family that got divorced because the guy couldn't have sex (a sexual dysfunction from birth), the guy didn't know it until he attempted it. If he wasn't so religious and checked if he can do it he could have explained to the girl that he can't do it and she probably wouldn't have married him. At the end the girl lost her virginity and had trouble finding another man because of our countries cultural issues.

I do believe no religion would say it’s correct to destroy a girls dream to have kids. We live to full fill our desires actually that’s all we do in life. If there was no desire in a person he would have to die.

I remember that somewhere in the bible it Jesus said to a guy "give all your belongings to the people and join me" even though it was said, no one with the right mind could do that today because there aren’t many jungles or free food to eat. If a guy gave up everything he had and joined the church he would be living off the donations and the money of other people. While he may say god gives me food to eat it is you who many be donating and feeding him. The Fathers enjoy life because they have everything they want because other people are giving the church money and all he has to do is conduct the masses -> helping some people learn religion -> eating -> sleeping. But he is a person that can use his arms and legs to earn and give money to others. Come to think of it being a father is way too much fun lol.

Addiction to TV will not hurt your eyes.

Addiciton to Games will not give you headaches.

Addiction to reading will strengthen your eyes. (Assuming you read properly)

Addiction to masturbation can not be called an addiction unless it has consequences. Therefore, your whole 'addiction to masturbation will give you nothing bad' thing is an oxymoron.

There are many things that give noticeable pleasure to the mind that is greater than an orgasm. Look into what chemicals are released during an orgasm, and you'll notice the same stuff when you experience pain, eat, work out, experience extreme fear, etc.

I'm not going to repeat myself, just read my comments.

firestormx, but still pleasure is best done with orgasm. Well there is a reason that nothing can compare to it. We humans are encoraged to reproduce! thats why the feeling of orgasm is so pleasurable. Our body is gets the pleasure from the movement of the prostate not the chemicals it releases lol. May be your one of those chatholic dumb retarded stupid morons that don't masturbate to feel the orgasm otherwise you wouldn't be saying "There are many things that give noticeable pleasure to the mind that is greater than an orgasm."

For the eye sight:

*Watching TV close is the same as viewing a monitor, and don't complain. I have myopia.

http://hcd2.bupa.co.uk/fact_sheets/html/myopia.html

*See? it does say reading as well. Using your eyes on a close object for a long time makes it think "ok I should adjust to see this in normal size" so when it does you can't see the distance. I could have tried surgury to retract the change but who has the money? I sure don't.

Next time you say something you need something more than google and yahoo, that is personal experience. Don't talk about thing you don't know.

I have 15 friends with myopia. And all of them spend like 4-6 hours on the computer playing games on the TV or on the computer

Addiciton to Games will not give you headaches. <- LAMO what is eye stress?

Actually, pleasure is best done with cocain, ecstasy, and some cuts of heroin.

The feeling of an orgasm is simply an increase in chemicals in your brain. That's all feelings are. That's why they're able to subdue pain, help with depression, etc. Much like your heart when it pumps blood, your lungs when you breath, or your lower intestine when it pushes food through, you feel nothing in the prostate area when you ejactulate or orgasm.

And sugesting that I'm a "dumb retarded stupid moron" catholic who has never masturbated and therefore don't know what it feels like, is like when maxcore said I can't know anything becaues I'm not a biologist.

A commonn idea among athiests is that everything is science, it can explain everything, etc, etc. If I told you God had healed my broken leg, you would have just gone "no no, your bones are designed to heal, blah blah blah". Well I'm telling you that chemicals are released in your brain, and that's all it is. You can get that feeling from anything that releases those chemicals, and has nothing to do with the actions to release them.

Now, focusing at one distance for a long period of time will cause damage to your eyes; everyone knows it. I've been reading books since I was 3, and staring at my monitor for literaly days at a time, stopping only to grab something to eat, or urinate the caffeine. My eyesight is perfect (well, it's been roughly 3 months since I had a test, and obviously things can change, but I'm not noticing any problems). So if I can spend 72+ hours straight on the computer and have "perfect" vision, but your friends have myopia and only spend 4-6 hours on the computer, then I think you need to re-evaluate your assumptions about it causing eye problems.

The reason my eyes are fine, is because I regularly allow them to focus on something else, whether it be a clock on the other side of the room, a TV beside me, a report on my desk, etc. Therefore, addiction to screens do not cause eye problems; however it is a prerequisite to addiction, in that addiction is where you continue to do something despite overwhelming consequiences - ie your vision.

Again, eye stress is not the result of playing games, it is the result of attempting to either focus on one distance for a long time, or straining to view a distance that is too far away.

haha you accepted that you get eye stress when forusing on something far away or something like a monitor or TV.

Anyway! your just lame. you will never have pleasure. thats lame thing to do. Has god proven to you that he exists? prove to me that god exists and I'll join you! There is a reason we can masturbate (some animals have trouble because there arms are not long etc.) as someone said no one gets addicted to masturbation people do it because they like it. By the way, I think you are impotent (a person with a non functioning reproductive system) so you fail at life. Your are a moron and so is your god. May be he didn't like to do it because he had his penis cut off to make him pure. Jesus may be a impotent as well :) or may be mother marry was playing with jesus's penis and he accedently broke it! Or may be he had chronic prostatitis! or he had a erectile dysfunction! may be you need to see a doctor.

Lord Budda had sex as well. There was no reason for jusus not to have sex unless there was something wrong with him.

and oh, because I bet you are impotent, why don't you do the world a favor and kill yourself and take away the sins of your stupid god and wish him a working reproductive system? :D I'm sure you can die because masturbation is something that increses self-worth.

Look at your poor penis. And take a big cross and ask someone to kill you like jesus! At least you will be popular.

I'm not gonna sit back and repeat myself again. Also, I don't see why you keep trying to drag in that I'm Christian. I never once said I was. I am, but I never told you that. I simply listed reasons that medical professionals of all religions (athiests included) agree on.
