"Why Masturb...ion is a taboo "

as far as i see this bachelor practice (dont know why they call it master) has two major medical effects on a human body..

first, it effects short and long term memory
second, damn i forgot that again..

The Article states that most americans have tried drugs (I suppose illegal ones) at one point in time. Please tell me exactly where this info comes from. It seems slightly, if not totally, incorrect.

And anyway, why is everyone so quick to point the finger of blame at Western culture. There was no America some 250 years ago, so Masturbation had to come from somewhere! Maybe most cultures don't do it, but others do in some way or form.
I think it's great that my society allows weird forms of sexually expression. We can't deny our own sexuality, or that sex exists.

I am still not sure if masturbation is healthy?

It makes cramps from your period less harsh, ya know what I mean. It was an article in Red Book. I'll see if I can find it.

Read the above article posted by GD!

Its not that healthy as you think,

stephie most american (means more than 50% have tried drugs this is a fact try any american source and u will get the point...its not just america though) ... as for ur point on more sexual freedom... we are not animals (better than animals ..yeah of course by defination we are animals but if ur religious u will agree that the God has given us better control and better awareness and we can think better than chimps I THINK!!!) we have to use our will power and according to bible its wrong as well... and u just said masturbation might be healthy then i can argue that smoking or doing drugs is healthy... like masturbation they also have advantages but their advantages ** are far less than their disadvatages ** it effects u physcially and mentally.... and can be dangerous too... (and i am not pulling these facts out of thin air ... i have proof for these)

I guess it depends on your religious veiws. I'm not more Buddhist than anything so I can't argue that God doesn't want us to do it.

Oye, Ulu!
Say God with a capital “G”.

Good Job!

One effect of false sex as you may call is it takes from the real one & untill your needs are not met by one wives ,thatd why men can have 4 wives.

The maulvi's will have you believe there's a blank check in religion for polygamy of upto four wives at a time.

The fact that people come up with lame excuses and reasoning in defense of polygamy is proof enough of it not being sanctioned by the Almighty in His perfect religion.


This Space For Rent

hypocricy … masturbation is considered a taboo in the Paki culture but homosexuality is widely practiced … especially in the barbaric Pushtoon regions … http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/0,3-2002019668,00.html

truly shocking and extremely disturbing… humans are beasts… so sad

this seems like an interesting post, since so manny peeple have/are replying


O¿▀t◘ playe the game...
Before the Game Plays u...

One part I have to agree with the last article posted there is the depression and mental stress a person can face as an aftermath.
Yes it fulfills the lusts, especially when for muslim people who are frustrated at not being able to have sex before marriage. It helps out quite a bit.
However, it leaves the person more isolated. It makes them more isolated because they feel as if they have cut themselves from society; not because of the act they have done but because their human desire to want ‘that special someone’ is stronger than ever before now. And now they are worried that they may not find that special someone. Its the companionship that’s wanted. Sex gives the companionship; and after masturbating they know they need the sexual companionship, and just the overall companionship more than ever before. And so, the result is more isolation, loneliness, and even depression.

It’s a trick. If i can manipulate John Mellancamp’s lines for this scenario we’re talking about:

The money’s good and the works okay
Looks like everything is rollin’ our way
**’Til you gotta look the devil in the eye
You know that b
stard’s one big lie**
So be careful with your heart and what you love
Make sure that it was sent from above
*

Point being is that you’re tricked into thinking that masturbating is ok. But no, it harms you more as a result. I’m not talking about health , or physically. I’m talking about mentally, and emotionally. And that’s where you lose the game and not win it.

And hey, on a lighter note of this topic

http://www3.pak.org/gupshup/smilies/smile.gif

the band Our Lady Peaces compares:

*I confess
Everyone is overweight
And I’m obsessed
**Talking is just masturbating
Without the mess **
Addiction leaves you sad today
& unimpressed *

Isn’t it true. Is it really worth the mess.

Coconut, can you tell me where exactly in the Quran it says that masturbation is forbidden unless certain exceptions are met? And please, give me Quranic references, no hadith or mullah garbage please.

ANd yes, I masturbate, I did before getting married and I still do, and I enjoy it, it's kickass!!

Now maybe you can shed some light on us as to why you would still want to masturbate even after getting married?
At least not being married and masturbating is a valid excuse, or logic.
