Why is masturbation bad?

In my opinion, Nothing is bad if you are not addicted to it. Addiction is the main issue. Not Alcohol, not porn, not masterbation, as long as you are not hurting others and then you are enjoying it without being enslaved. That is the goal.

There certainly things which are good and bad, you cannot say these type of statement that porn, masturbation is not bad if you are not addicted,you and i should not be here if they are not bad and millions of people on platform like this.These things are certainly the worst thing human kind facing in 21 century.

No dude I don’t think so that Christian god said that sex is for pleasure definitely not it is for the survival of the species and to produce a new life,a new hope to maintain the balance, to produce someone through whom people remember you after you have gone atleast that is what my religion taught me,you should take a look at your holy books again I am sure none god said that sex is for pleasure in any religion. In my religion it is mentioned that sexuality inversely proportional to spirituality.

God design sex to be perfect and to it to have pleasure. I believe it’s science, society and other things and especially this imperfect world that twist the very perfection out of sex. Things like porn, masturbation, having any sex not married and to have it early because it’s “cool” and if you still a virgin then you’re weird.

Yes God made sex for reproduction but if we just end it like that then I believe we miss the full picture.
I feel like a dang limited being if it’s just reproduction like humans are being used. After all we are not animals as God says we are above them in a lot of ways and since we are we get to feel pleasure unlike animals. Animals don’t have pleasure just sex but they still survive not extinct. God made us different cos we special and much more. So don’t get us confused with animals or what not in terms of sex being a kind of job.

There are so many verses that explain pleasure and the main reason is to connect with your married partner emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually. Now if you Google it and research it you will always have an answer that you like and prefer but might not be the right one and that’s dangerous. Always come back to the Bible unlike anything it’s always true and relevant.

Just to point out in the Bible about sex and pleasure and all as a whole - read Songs of Solomon.

Here is an article I found. Click here

Anyways there is so much to this topic but here is something little.

Brother don’t feel offended I just put my view on this,for you what is mentioned in holy Bible is true and you should definitely practice the religion which is passed to you by your parents but I just put my opinion according to Hinduism according to the holy Bhagvad Gita as lord :pray: Krishna said lust is the gateway of hell and it covers the reason and knowledge of a human.Here the main thing I want to mention is that the western philosophy of religion emphasis more on the materialistic world and to do change in it and on the other hand Hinduism emphasis change in oneself getting free from desires and to find god in oneself.It is the oldest religion in the World and many Western people come to India to learn more about spirituality and other aspects of life and how should a human live and what is his Karma and Dharma.Every religion have its belief and faith I respect them and as a Hindu I follow and believe in the Hinduism which is believed to be the origin of all religions.Thank you and Happy Maharana Pratap death anniversary.

I recommed contacting sexuologist.

Anyways at the end of the day believe whatever guides you in life and if you don’t have any religion to follow to help you through this corrupt world then the best advice l can try to give is do whatever is good for you as you have your own right and wrong and so use that I guess to guide you.
To be honest l was always Christian and I don’t know how non believer do it like where is their hope? What’s right and what’s wrong in a world that keeps changing? Etc. Anyways sorry to go spiritual tangent but yeah just
KEEP CALM AND STOP PMO

Yes brother we will all fight against this evil pmo and defeat it.All the best to everyone

While I do agree that masturbation is not needed, and we are just using the natural joy of sex which is supposed to make us want to reproduce more often, other animals feel pleasure, joy and emotions too, most animals that survive off of instinct are bugs or other small animals, but not all, hamsters feel emotions too, which leads to them actually masturbating, so are they damaging themselves too? While I feel better while not masturbating, I do question if I should really avoid the act if animals do it too, monkeys turtles dolphins etc are found doing these activities if you search it up.

We are not animals my friend, how did you come to a conclusion that we can do it if animals do it too?

We humans are superior creatures, and we have modesty, morals and everything which animals lack. Though they do have love, they do not have any shame, which is why they are without clothes.

We humans are naturally driven towards taking care of our dignity, shame, and modesty.

And porn is animality, vulgarity.

Just observe there, women are being treated as dogs, literally dogs, how rough and violent they treated, and porn literally teaches you to have intercourse, the way dogs do.

We need to think once again and reflect, why are we humans in the first place, andwhy were we given the intellect, that other creatures do not have.

Yeah I agree watching porn is bad, it imitates the actual natural thing which leads to unhealthy thoughts and habits, which is why I don’t watch it, but is the act itself bad? I feel better after not doing it for a couple of weeks now but supposedly a lot of trusted sites like health line say the act itself is healthy

My opinion, The thing about masturbation
It’s like a water that doesn’t quenches your thirst
And next time you will feel like you need it even more
So with time it’s addicting, you always need more , you never have enough of it.

Maybe you’re saying I can put an end for it, but that’s the thing, it’s dangerous like fire, you don’t know when it will get out of control and consumes you. Small fire you can control it, but if stron wind comes then it will burn you with everything else around it. We go through hard time in life, and it’s like the wind. This habit, something doesn’t quenches your thirst, and may consume you and make you addicted at any point

That you will be worshipping this habit, like nothing else can make you feel good but this habit, like nothing can help you, or save you from this hard life, but masturbation. And you won’t feel it, you won’t know it, until it has done huge damage. Which is very hard to repair and you will send your time , not progressing and getting better, but fixed that damage, and trying to catch up, and at least get to where were you.

@Someguy123 I can’t think that locking myself in a toilet using my own hand to please myself while thinking of some woman (who would probably laugh at me if she knew that I used to do MO) as a healthy habit.

Comon mahn, even the doctors say to do a lot of shit. Even ask google, it will tell you to masturbate once or twice everyday.

Google gives you the instructions on how to do a lot of crimes.

We need to take only what is right from anyone. Because not everybody know everything.

Just look a century back, and no one knew that masturbation is even a thing.

After the emergence of explicit material, this concept of only satisfying yourself without any love or care for someone came.

There are things which you just don’t do. And masturbation is one of them.

Ok maybe let’s just forget what I said about humans vs animals as people can take it out of context. It all depends on views and beliefs. Anyways we go off topic it’s only about masturbation. As a Christian standpoint masturbation is bad because of lust yet its debatable in terms of sexual morality in terms of what l read but not to say it is or isn’t just that it’s not 100% clear or l missed something. Either way even if it ain’t in the Bible doesn’t make it good or not a sin. I think we should treat this as normal addiction meaning that it goes before God - that what addiction does separate us from God. So in that sense of addiction and God is bad. At the end of the day you do you but just know YOUR WAY doesn’t always mean it’s THE RIGHT WAY

Iam not preaching my beliefs here as that is not this forum’s objective. It is a fact that we humans were created different from animals, that is what I want to clarify here.

I’m sure everyone knows this about humans and animals. You would hope so

@Someguy123 Masturbation itself is not bad, like drinking alcohol itself is not bad. This forum helps people who are addicted, people who can’t stop, if they want to. If somebody is recovering from alcohol addiction, it is common for them to avoid every single drop of alcohol - even if drinking alcohol itself is not bad, in general. Their bodies need to stay away from it, because they were damaged by it.

Also, there is an important thing, and this applies for everyone here too: you don’t have to think that every opinion, paper, video, post about masturbation or porn is actually talking about your specific habits. Each person is one. If you are sure that it’s fine masturbating to your pictures, and if you don’t feel nothing bad or addictive because of it, Í believe you shouldn’t even be here.
