Because, contrary to what little you actually can think, NOT everything that goes on, is written, (especially by MOI!) in these forums, is meant, solely, and exclusively, for you, egotistical little runt!

Anyays I agree with the direction ANDY gives us, anyone else read or heard of it possibly reducing the risks of cancers, I had read some about the (possible) risk reductions in prostate cancer.

So why didnt you say that after first reading that post by me? Or is it just because Greg is the Boss around here.

I know your avatar isn't there just to please me but i must admit i like this one that you have now.

Well, I used to be very interested in masturbation, and i used to question people a lot about it. Mostly i found that yes, most guys do it, a lot. Many women do too. But the question of it being a sin? well it would depend on the religion or faith. Some religions do not believe in denying one's self pleasure, as long as it hurts none. But many religions would say that sex, in any form, is a sin, unless it is intended for conception. God gave man the ability to reproduce, and it happens to be enjoyable, but just as gluttony is a sin even though we all need to eat, so is sex, when it's not for the right reasons.

Using a condom, masturbating, and anal, are all sins in that they are not meant for reproduction and therefore are not as God intended. It's just giving into temptation.


Sin's, however, are forgiven anyways.

What's up with that, trying to make everyone nauseous? Maybe we need a new thread, "Is ass kissing a sin?"

Masterbation has been studied and recommended for quite a few years now, and most well-informed people have heard of its benefts for relieving stress to lowering the risk of certain cancers, as well as assisting people with abstinence.

You seem to be coming from a Christian perspective, so here's a link for you to check out: http://www.epigee.org/guide/christian/104.html

Ahhhhh, the love that so characterizes the person who knows the Truth!

The kids here are goofing on you because of your self-righteous attitude. Sin . . . it is a stupid concept, and makes no sense. The stuff God tolerates from humans is amazing. Yet give other humans a pen and paper and few centuries to edit it to perfection, and they will write a host of things we need to feel guilty and be intolerant about. Then they stick it in a book and call it "holy," and go around trying to act superior to non-believers.

If people think that represents God, no wonder there are so many atheists.

I would vote for "Yes!"

However, I do not think that agreement between the freely expressed opinons of two diferent people constitutes "Insert your expression", neither does trying to maintain a direction of the thread, nor does caring about what kind of example, hence "ass'i'stance" you offer, in your words.

Please, how does myself having admitted to "knowing the truth", about myself, get twisted into this tripe, sarcasm, that's how.

Now this parts some fun..

Followed by your demonstration of just what a "self righteous attitude" actually is...

As apparently that idea that "Sin" is an understanding gifted to us, from God, is something that you have decided is stupid, NOW THAT'S
<<SELF RIGHTEOUS!>>

Agree with the principal, it's the practise, that takes the time, to get it right.

Les, does my agreeing with Gale 17 make me, what you have called me, all over again? or do you discriminate?

EDIT SP!
