Is it normal i do not understand anti-masturbation people

I think most of us can agree that masturbation is great. Feels good, relieves stress, health benefits and all that good stuff. It is one of the few things that feels good and is also good for you, unlike chocolate and alcohol.

So it surprises me when I hear one of my friends say they don’t agree with it. These aren’t old prudish types or super religious types, they are teenagers just like me. I’m not sexually active at the moment (in fact I’m a virgin) but most of my anti-masturbation friends are sexually active.

My friend Jen says she doesn’t like it because she thinks it dirty. But surely it’s no dirtier than normal sex and it’s considerably less dirty than wiping your arse or having a pee and she has no issue with those things. As long as you clean up after yourself what’s the problem?

Brain says that he can’t think of anything sadder than a naked guy in a darkened room touching himself by the light of some porn. He says ‘just get the real thing’. This makes it seem like being single is a necessarily bad thing. It’s ok for Brian cus he has a boyfriend and presumably gets ‘the real thing’ often enough. But for shy and unconfident people like me who can’t get a date to save my life masturbation is a way I can feel sexual pleasure. What’s wrong with that?

If you like the feel of sexy things happening to you then why not do it to yourself? Why should you have to rely on someone else just to feel pleasure?

is it normal that I can’t understand these people?

  • Those people need to stop fingering you as a dirty person.... They need to get a grip on the issue....they need to work it out...or tell them to beat it.....give yourself a hand for disagreeing....that would rub me the wrong way too......i dildon't understand them either.

  • I don't understand why some people are so against it either. Well it could be considered sinful because it's physical lust, but so is coitus for reasons other than reproducing, right? Everybody sins and God forgives.

  • Well. I think masturbation is a gift to those who aren't sexually active. And how is masturbation more of a sin than sex is? Unless you were sleeping with your mom, you wouldn't have sex in front of your mom either. Some things are more private like that than others. And I'm pretty sure that by touching myself I am not destroying my spirit.
    Honestly though, I think it's stupid that people are controlling what other people do. You aren't the one mastubating so don't make people feel guilty for it.It isn't your "sin" so lay off.

  • Masturbation is wrong. Its a sin. You are defiling your body. If you sit down n think abt it, its really a disgusting thing to do. Think about it, you sit there and play with yourself, while watching other people have sex, until you cum. Would you do that with your Mom in the room? Or anyone around you? The reason we (including me) struggle with it so much is because its pleasing to the flesh. But its destructive to the spirit and you should abstain from it.

  • It makes sense if they are Christian becuase Christian poeple have this against there religion but will not have sex till they are married and do not take sex lightly.Otherwise I would not get it either.

  • I don't get it either. Can't possibly see what reason a person could have against masturbation... As long as it is practiced in moderation and doesn't become an overall theme in your life.

    Lesson for today kids, moderation!

  • Historically, men have repressed other people's sexuality. It's insane that in the modern age, masturbation is still seen by anyone as dirty. But there you have it.
