Christianity and Masturbation

[Faith No More]

I also don't like getting hugged.

Do you also not like puppies and sunshine?

Masturbation is all Politically Correct today yet you still can't do it in public and the morality of secular humanism still endorses keeping it strictly private. Why? A privacy norm for masturbation is just as arbitrary as outright prohibition. A lot of what I see on threads like this is easy, comfortable sniping at religious or moral positions one doesn't like, in an environment of groupthink. In common with some other posts here, I doubt Christian opinion unanimously bans masturbation, which is never mentioned directly in the New Testament: It's a matter of how phrases describing sexual behavior in Greek koine are to be interpreted and what some pastor or bishop thinks about it.
I might think you should be able to have a sexual orgy with 30 people on a downtown sidewalk at noon if you want to. If we're about "freedom" and all that. At least legally. We could let informal social acceptance or lack thereof govern such matters.

Umm...because there are kids in public(among other reasons)?

I'd have thought that one was painfully obvious.
