What amuses me most about you saying this is that for the longest time, I read your screen name as "I'm washing my privates" (which, in my estimation, makes more sense). I actually thought you were the queen of masturbation with a screen name like that.

hehe

Hi, Pirate. I disagree with you about masturbation. I believe there is nothing wrong with it. Why do you think there is? Because you were told there is? Do you believe everything you're told -- I don't. :)

I don't arouse myself. I become aroused naturally -- sexual tension rises and it's just easier to deal with it then not to. Get it over with. Then go back about your business. I imagine it may even be more difficult for men. I had a male professor one time tell me that us girls had it easier than the guys 'cause pretty much studying, tests, just anything was always being interrupted by sexual tension. Seems to me that if sexual tension gets in the way of doing what needs to be done in your life it is healthier just to get it out of the way and then carry on.


Well personally I wouldn't know. Erm. I was not taught that is was wrong, I just feel it is wrong, but I guess I do have reasons for feeling that way which are personal to me. It just doesn't seem very natural.


Really? You've not been taught anything in Church about masturbation? Are you sure about that? Where did you get the idea that it is disgusting? Or especially degrading? How does one degrade oneself in privacy? Can you elaborate on that thought?

What about a person that does feel it's natural (since we're just going on 'feelings' here) and wants to masturbate? Since it's "personal" and nothing to do with teachings is it okay for them to do so? Since, I mean, it's all personal and left up to feelings...

I have re-read your fist sentence several times and It makes very little sense. Maybe I am reading it wrong. "this is that for the longest time" what does that mean?

A few people have said to me. They think it is a play on words, but really it is innocent. I explained in my blog where it comes from. I never knew females could masturbate till about two months ago. I also learned some funny swear words. I still can't see how it is possible. But never mind.

Hmm.... I just wrote out how to do it and deleted it. :)

Sorry. I can see how that wording might be confusing. Let me try again:

Since I misread your screen name as "I'm washing my privates" for the longest time, I'm now amused to find out that you think masturbation is disgusting.

Is that more clear?

Not to continue derailing the thread -

The Style Guy, I hear the pain in your words and I'm very sorry you have had these experiences in your life. It sounds like you lost both your mother and father on an emotional level. That is very damaging to a child. Many people have drugs to numb their pain. Food, dieting, religion, gambling, spending, drinking, drugging, sex. When you are in a lot of pain it's easy to find these outlets. As a high school student I was hospitalized for an eating disorder. It's been 20 years, style guy, and I have come a long way but I still feel those triggers, there are certain cognitive shortcuts still in place.

I don't judge you and I hope you are able to find peace and happiness in the future.

Hey mon. I will discuss it, I just won't be able to awnser some things because I lack certain experiences. But thank you. It was just my opinion that it is wrong. I feel inside that it is something that shouldn't be done, but everyone is different. I am not brainwashed from church, because I only re activated a few years ago.
