Jesus, where do you people get this shit? That is the most preposterous thing I've heard since I got here, and that is quite the statement considering some of the shit I've read just today. From you.
You seem to be under the impression that everyone has a "soul mate" out there to whom sex is owed, whether you're with them yet or not. I don't even want to begin thinking about what that implies about consent. This is why it's so scary that Christians want to legislate what others are doing in their sex lives.
I respect your views.
(and just to clarify though, i do not believe in soul mates, neither is this any sort of church teaching. i'm also quite sure the Church's pope and other church leaders, as well as the vast majority of Catholics do not want to "legislate" any of this in the form of law lol.)

Yeah...women always over-complicate things.
Lol. Your one liners are hilarious.
(well, sometimes anyway ;
other times, not so much haha)(July 12, 2015 at 1:09 pm)robvalue Wrote: I seriously want to know if Christians think God gets angry or upset when someone masturbates.
OK that came out creepier than I intended.
Since we believe it is immoral, we believe it definitely doesn't please God lol.
But I do think God understands the struggle (after all, He created us) and has a lot of mercy, especially when people are teenagers and/or not married.

I respect your opinion, but I just really don't agree that it's not possible to have those same advantages through actually having sex. If you are together with your spouse for a lifetime and you take your time and practice open and honest communication in the bedroom, I absolutely think you can have all these advantages.
The difference, I think, is between good enough, pedantic love making and becoming a sexual connaisseurship. Not to put too fine a point on it.
I respect your views and appreciate your insight, my friend. :
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
