Now here's a theological conundrum:

can Anusius bless God's asshole ??
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

It all depends on how you interpret the story of Onan spilling his seed and whether masturbation was considered part of 'pornea'. The pleasure derived from the sexual organs serves to both motivate men and women to join in productive unions and to strengthen the marital bond. According to natural law, masturbation is considered an abuse of the natural function of the genetalia, since it is not conducive to either.

Seriously, Chadzmo?  According to natural law?   How did you define natural law?  What was your criteria for determining whether something follows it? 

It's only abuse if you're not doing it right.

A common view I have heard from Christians is that masturbation is o.k. but pornography is not o.k.

In the good old days of Christianity, even married couples were discouraged from having sex. Asceticism was a big deal. Christianity was turning-upside down the natural laws of societies by teaching that people should ignore this life for the next life, blah blah blah blah blah blah...

I wonder what Judaism teaches about masturbation? I believe Islam is quite strict.

This is coming from a time when it was considered a man's right to screw his woman whenever he wanted, and if you don't have a woman you can go out and get you one pretty easily. So what's the point in masturbating? Especially when most people were dropping like flies for a myriad of reasons anyway. Most people didn't live very long, and that farm doesn't till itsself. What are you wasting valuable seed for?

You have to masturbate into a goat orifice, and then sell the goat to a neighboring tribe.

I would have thought hard core pornography would be better for aiding masturbation than Christianity.

Saying that, Christianity can be pretty kinky.
