XDOR Posted March 24, 2004 Posted March 24, 2004 "then 99% of men and 83% of men are going to hell" What? So for every woman who masturbates, a man goes to hell? Anyway, do you know that circumcision was "invented" (in the USA) to avoid masturbation?
moimeme Posted March 24, 2004 Posted March 24, 2004 "then 99% of men and 83% of men are going to hell" What? So for every woman who masturbates, a man goes to hell? It was a typo and a joke. Anyway, do you know that circumcision was "invented" (in the USA) to avoid masturbation? No, according to Cat Girl. But Kellogg's Corn Flakes were.
CaterpillarGirl Posted March 24, 2004 Posted March 24, 2004 Anyway, do you know that circumcision was "invented" (in the USA) to avoid masturbation? Ummm...nooo. Circumcistion was practiced long before the USA came into being. Maybe the Victorian hysteria over sexual acts (such as masturbation) may have coerced a resurgence of the practice in America, but it by no means was "invented" here. http://www.cirp.org/library/history/
InmannRoshi Posted March 25, 2004 Posted March 25, 2004 then 99% of men and 83% of men are going to hell And the 1% of men that didn't turned into serial killers. Maybe its a sin to masturbate in close proximity to going to church?? Cuz, I gotta tell you ... my mom used to make us go to church every weekend when I was around puberty age, and there lots of hot girls in my church who were dressed to the 9's. In fact, I could almost say that Church actually set me back on the curve as far as getting into heaven, because I thought more dirty thoughts about these girls than I did about God. I would go to Communion and receive to sacrament and cleanse my impure thoughts, but my mind would be dirty again by the time I walked back to my pew. Much of the time I spent in church was used counting down the minutes until I could get home so I could beat off.
dyermaker Posted March 25, 2004 Posted March 25, 2004 Circumcision was the sign of the covenant of Abraham, dating back about 6500 years before the US had even been conceived. Genital mutilation is practiced in thousand of societies, and has been for thousands of years, for many different reasons.
catspajamas Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 Is it a sin? By the Bible's words yes. Does most everybody do it anyhow? Yes. Do we all go to hell? NO! We are all sinners... Jealousy is a sin too and everybody gets jealous. We are all human, don't hurt your head about it... get it ha ha ha ha!
dyermaker Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 Originally posted by catspajamas Is it a sin? By the Bible's words yes. Really? I've found the biblical support against masturbation quite lame. Besides the fact that Onan spilled his seed (which many see as a condemnation of the pull-out method for its ineffectiveness rather than any reference to masturbation) and made God angry, do you have any other biblical evidence against touching yourself?
End of my rope Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 Originally posted by moimeme No, according to Cat Girl. But Kellogg's Corn Flakes were. What? How? Explain please.
moimeme Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 What? How? Explain please. This site has a somewhat sarcastically humorous tone, but tells the tale as well as any other. I can get you something more academic, but the facts remain the same. http://www.rotten.com/library/sex/masturbation/kelloggs-cornflakes/

morrigan Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 Dr. Kellogg had some good ideas for health food, but some of his other practices were bizarre. The man was apparently obsessed with daily enema usage. As far Onan is concerned, didn't he supposedly sin because he refused (via withdrawal) to impregnate his brother's widow?
HokeyReligions Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 http://www.bible.com/answers/amasturb.html http://www.net-burst.net/sexuality/masturbation.htm The obvious place to start a biblical examination of masturbation is Genesis 38: (8) Then Judah said to Onan, “Lie with your brother’s wife and fulfill your duty to her as a brother-in-law to produce offspring for your brother.” (9) But Onan knew that the offspring would not be his; so whenever he lay with his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from producing offspring for his brother. (10) What he did was wicked in the LORD’s sight; so he put him to death also. Some people so equate Onan’s act with masturbation that one term for masturbation is onanism (yes, named after Onan in the above Scripture). Whatever Onan did, however, it certainly could not be called solitary sex. He did it “whenever he lay with his brother’s wife.” http://www.ldolphin.org/Mast.shtml Between 1856 and 1919 the U.S. Patent Office granted patents for forty-nine antimasturbation devices. Thirty-five were for horses and fourteen for humans. The human devices, made for boys, consisted of either sharp points turned inward to jab the penis should he get an erection during the night, or an electrical system to deliver shocks. How many of these devices were actually used, or what effect they had on the children no one knows. Masturbation by girls was even more shocking, shameful, and unmentionable! The pendulum of sexual mores has now most certainly swung to the opposite extreme in the last half-century.
