I'm probably a minority among males, but they both have the same effect on me. A major turnoff.
But you all do realize that most major religions have rigid antisexual laws? It's easy to explain, because attacking an instinctive urge and calling it a cardinal sin, you gain power over the minds and bodies of your sheep. They're easy to manipulate, once you created the neurosis.

Because, apparently, he is a very small-minded and petty god. Almost as if he were a human being.

Like homosexuality, it's weird that Christianity fixates so much on this issue given the tiny amount the bible actually talks about it. In fact, it's a stretch to even conclude anything about masturbation from the bible, unless I've overlooked some obvious reference.
But oral myths trump everything, even god's word.

I don't know if it is actually a sin or not, just that I don't do it.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

Natural law has always been evidence based and I guess since there are health benefits please excuse me. I need to get some Kleenex and hand lotion from CVS.
