A RELIGIOUS GUIDE TO WANKING

A RELIGIOUS GUIDE TO WANKING

It's still National Masturbation Month!

Research has found that regular masturbation reduces the risk of prostate cancer for men; an Australian study discovered that men masturbating at least five times a week had 33% less risk!



Religious views towards masturbation vary widely. Below is a guide to masturbation by religion.

The Bible, both the Old Testament and New Testament, says very little about masturbation except in Leviticus - where else! Allegedly written by Moses, Leviticus states that when a man has a discharge, he “shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening”, “And when he who has a discharge is cleansed of his discharge, then he shall count for himself seven days for his cleansing, wash his clothes, and bathe his body in running water; then he shall be clean”, and “On the eighth day he shall take for himself two turtledoves or two young pigeons, and come before the Lord, to the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and give them to the priest.”

Orthodox Judaism does not allow masturbation. The Talmud, a sacred Jewish text second only to the Torah, states, “Whosoever emits semen in vain deserves death". Reform Judaism is a little bit more forgiving of masturbators! Rabbi Alexis Roberts maintains that masturbation is "harmless, natural and healthy.”

The Catholic Church teaches that "Masturbation constitutes a grave moral disorder" and that "masturbation is an intrinsically and seriously disordered act." Catholics believe that sex is for procreation and that sex for any other reason is sinful. In the 13th century, Thomas Aquinas, a Catholic saint, wrote that masturbation was an "unnatural vice” and that "by procuring pollution, without any copulation, for the sake of venereal pleasure ... pertains to the sin of ‘uncleanness’ which some call ‘effeminacy’.”

Compared to Catholicism, Protestantism has a far more liberal attitude towards masturbation. Many Protestants even have pro-masturbation views.

The Orthodox Christian Church sees sex as a gift from God. Because masturbation is self-directed, some Orthodox Christians view masturbation as not respecting God’s gift of sexuality.

Jehovah's Witnesses believe that masturbation is a habit that is a "form of uncleanness", one that "fosters attitudes that can be mentally corrupting".

Islamic scholars do not generally approve of masturbation. The Quran states, "And those who guard their chastity, Except from their wives for then, they are free from blame; But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are transgressors." However, masturbation may be permissible if it stops someone from committing a greater sin, eg sex outside marriage. But, according to Sheikh Hamed Al-Ali, "Masturbation during the daytime of Ramadan breaks the fast”.

Zoroastrianism, an ancient Iranian religion, condemns masturbation outright. Its holy book, Avesta, states that masturbation is an unpardonable sin.

Buddhists, with their quest towards enlightenment, may have problems with masturbation as an act of pleasuring oneself. One Buddhist text, the Upasakasila Sutra, states that “if sex relates to self-body, it is known as sexual misconduct." Generally, Buddhist laypersons may be permitted to masturbate, but Buddhist monks and nuns should not masturbate.

In Hinduism, seeking kama – that is, physical pleasure - is one of the four goals of human life. Apart from a person who has taken vow of celibacy, known as brahmacharya, Hinduism grants complete sexual freedom. In fact, the Kama Sutra, a Hindu text written between the 4th and 6th centuries, gives advice on how men should masturbate: "Churn your instrument with a lion's pounce: sit with legs stretched out at right angles to one another, propping yourself up with two hands planted on the ground between in them, and it between your arms".

If religious, does your religion affect your masturbation activities?
Have you read the Kama Sutra?
If a man, do you get your five-a-week to keep prostate cancer at bay?


I am not religious, so I can masturbate without guilt. For those who are religious and feel guilt, I am happy to offer immediate repentance to those who confess their sins!
