Why Is Masturbation Sin?

[Castle]

Why should I doctor up, a Christian quote, that’s their problem. I can avoid sin baggage by adjusting my own mistakes.

If you intend to quote another person's work or paraphrase their statements entirely in future, will you kindly add quotation marks and then cite or reference them to avoid plagiarising.

This way, I can avoid responding to parrots regurgitating someone else's vomit.

I did say this is the chick part, relating to the first part of my first post.
I guess I take for granted after telling people I am not religious. I can see how things can get mix up without quotation..

For the sake of being clearer, I will use quotation marks next time. Thank you

A disproportionate majority of people masturbate with at least some frequency (numbers are in the 90-95% range for both genders in some demographics). Obviously it's a problem to be addicted to porn, or compulsively masturbate, but some Christian ethicists (such as Lew Smedes) would say that otherwise whether or not to masturbate is up to the individual. (The Bible says to "love thyself" right?).

How do you mean disproportionate?.

I would suggest that not only is masturbation normal but indeed necessary for your mental well being(specially if you're a bloke).

And how can you NOT compulsively masturbate if you're a teenage boy?

Oh for sure, that's pretty much what the psychological literature says. I agree, it's normal. I was saying disproportionate in that it is not a close majority, like 51%, but much higher. As in, the amount of people who do masturbate is a much higher proportion than don't. Basically the statistics show that pretty much everyone has masturbated, so it's kind of stupid to act like it's something shameful that no one can talk about.

In fact masturbation is physically and mentally healthy for us. If Men do not release them self, they can cause prostate cancer and other kind of physical problems. Or Other mentally monstrous sexual act for example can be like when clergymen go out and molest little children

Where is it written that God lives in the dark? He's usually described as the "Father of Heavenly Lights", or the "light of the world" or something.

But you are right when you say that many Christians are in the dark on a lot of sexual issues. Actually America as a country is not very sexually healthy, we have a lot of fear and angst surrounding sexuality (I wouldn't say it's ALL the churches fault, but man did we chip in on that one). It's really hard to do, but the church and the country at large has to learn to accept that we are sexual beings, and that being sexual is a natural and good part of life, not something to be afraid of.

God lives in Darkness - 1 Kings 8:12, 2 Chronicles 6:1 Peter 4:19, Psalm 18:11, Isaiah 45:3, Lamentations 3:2, Exodus 20:21, 1 Kings 8:12, ...

Why do they not teach Christian masturbation is natural? Why are they so freak out it about it, mind you I found out a few atheist here that were freaked out about it too.

When will their big head start teach the little head how healthy it is rather than how it is a sin, but you won’t find that in your good book.
