The naturalistic fallacy and masturbation
#10
RE: The naturalistic fallacy and masturbation
(October 29, 2014 at 10:35 pm)Clueless Morgan Wrote: I was just making dinner and thinking about masturbation (because, you know, why not?) and got to thinking about the standard defense rolled out of "it's perfectly natural to masturbate, it's a normal human act of exploring your own sexuality and yadda yadda yadda..." and got to wondering whether this falls prey to the naturalistic fallacy.

It's okay to masturbate because it's natural.

Thoughts? Does this qualify as a fallacious argument or not?

(full disclosure, I haven't given this a huge deal of thought. In fact, I'm still making dinner.)Tongue

Well yeah, if you carry on like that dinner may take a very long time. (Hope you washed.) Wink


Doh, beaten to the punch. Well played, Beccs, well played.

Does masturbation require a rationalization? If you wanna, go ahead. If not, lets eat.
