I also like how you tell me to leave… the truth hurts when your wrong doesn’t it. Keep deluding yourself. You are only hurting yourself and your offspring (if you are even able to find someone to procreate with) with your unhealthy views on human sexuality.

Trouble is, the rest of us are against what you’re trying to convince us about.
And no, the truth doesn’t hurt, since what you are telling us isn’t true. You are trying to lead honest people into mortal sin. That honestly does hurt people, and their relationship with God.

I don’t see how I am hurting myself with this “delusion.” I don’t feel “hurt” by not masturbating. I’m not missing out on anything, at all. Why waste time with it when I could be thinking of God, praying and reflecting on the Bible?

To be honest, teaching people that masturbation is wrong isn’t hurtful. Maybe if you are addicted, but in that case, its a hard truth one must bear.

If people know its wrong, and still do it, well, not much you can do about that, is there?

Well, that’s not a stage for those doing it for years and years, is it? More like a habit, a means of pleasuring oneself, using the sexual faculty.

I dont think it matters. The fact is that it is normal whether you do it occasionally or more frequently or not at all. To teach that it is a mortal since is c ridiculous and I belueve damaging.
 
It seems that the arguments in this thread which argue against masturbation are largely based on principals that are not necessarily adopted by the general public. Trying to argue against masturbation to one that has not adopted these principals is much like arguing a point wit a premise that another hasn’t accepted.

Well, at least we agree it’s a bit more than a “stage”. ;). You view it as a perfectly reasonable means of self-pleasuring. Why didn’t you just say that at the outset, instead all of this “normal stage” nonsense? :rolleyes:

I don’t care what you personally do or don’t do. I am just saying I wont teach my children this nonsense. It would be harmful to a child (especially one who is inclined towards self pleasure) that what they are doing is wrong. I am not trying to lead people into “mortal” Sin as I don’t beleive in the idea of mortal sin. You can point out that a majority of you beleive different than me, but as I have seen people on here say that would be an argumentum ad populum argument. I can play the same game as well. If a majority say something is so makes it so as you implied with you “reasoning” towards me then lets open the feild beyond just catholics.on here. The pope’s offices resent statements themselves said that only like 21% of catholics beleive the churches veiws in human sexuality. That makes you a minority. Lets open it even more. You are even a larger minority in your way of thinking if you look at the veiw of all christians… how about all people. As you said before you are not worth my time. You and other catholics of your way of thinking should quit obsessing over whether or not people are touching themaelves. The fact that threads like this even exist show me you are obsessing over the"evils" of masturbation. I am gonna go live real life now and you can go back to anti-masturbation obsession.

It doesn’t make a difference. None of this should even be an issue worth discussing.

I posted on page 7 that masturbation in not normal or harmless and gave examples of what it had degenerated into in recent years in my community. I would really like to know your thoughts on that.

Soumds like you live In a screwed up community. That sounds more like group sex orgy than masturbation. I have kids in all school ranging from elementay to out of high school I have a real gpod relationship with them. My oldest is an open book who has told me plenty of things I don’t need to hear and nothing he has told me even comes close to the junk you posted. My bull detector is in the red from your post.
