No masturbation is counter productive


Shouldn't masturbation be allowed to help keep their sexual urges in check?

Making it off limits seems counter productive because it only increases the desire to have sex more.

Yeah well, the 12 step program only has a 4% success rate. So yeah it's probably not a good plan but people do buy into it.

Religion has been doing the same thing forever. Ask people to set goals for themselves you know they can't live up to, leading to deceit and guilt on the part of the people trying not to give in to totally natural inclinations.

You have to look at it the other way around..masturbation can also be seen as first step to bigger things..and it is in many cases.
People who watch porn are more likely to rape then a person who is not in the regular habit of watching porn.
The law of attraction is the cause in my view.

They were not having sex because of their sexual urge, they were having sex out of boredom
it was more like a hobby than a natural urge
just like someone uses eating when he/she is sad, he/she is not hungry and doesn't need the food out of hunger but as compensation for feeling sad.


It is never about what happened, it is only how you look at it!
