If you do it often enough, it's easy to lose track.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

It was gradually phased out of practice but certainly a good few months ago. I wouldn't get too obsessed over how often who does what tbh, keep it to yourself eh? I have extensively changed my diet and drinking habits to a more ascetic regime as well with frequent prayer contemplation/mediation sessions. I'm feeling the power of hardcore motherfucking Holy energy here.





Though that is something to be wary of if you try it. You have to avoid puffing up your ego.

Sounds like pretty good advice to me. Pity that you seem to be better at giving it than following your own.

The point is that you're not overkeen on anyone else taking too much interest in your masturbatory activity.

Mayhap others feel likewise...Wink

I was giving the general explanation for ascetic practice and why people do it and what the advantage of it is. If I explain what fasting is about I'm not saying you have to do it but what the advantage of doing it is within the spiritual context.

I couldn't really care less if it bans it or not. It was made at a time when women were treated as property. All you had to do was get married, and you could have all the sex you wanted. All you had to do to get married was get fifty silver on hand, then find someone to start raping her.

If it doesn't ban masturbation, even though it says spilling seed needlessly is wrong, then great. +1 for the bible. If not, then it's wrong because masturbation is healthy for you on multiple levels. -1 for the bible. Simple as that.

Quite a long while ago but I can't pinpoint the date. Never you mind anyway.

I think masturbation is great. Cleans you out and leaves you running like a fine sewing machine that's just been oiled.

I masturbate 4-8 times a day. When I'm depressed, more than 10. It's self-maintenance.
