Ooops... I seem to have dropped my banana..teee heee

Where's Sir Mixalot when you really need him?

[_Yoda]

So why don't Bishops, Stake Presidents and other leaders interview the girls and ask them about the practice? Too embarassed? Get all hot & bothered if the girls answer and start going into detail... or they start asking questions themselves since the leader brought it up?

Why are they only worried about the factories of the guys?

Don't you know that women don't really have sex drives? It is merely a wifely duty so they we can produce children.

Masturbation? Women? What will they think of next? LOL

[_moksha]

Pulsating shower heads again!!!

Why are they only worried about the factories of the guys?

Don't know, but please refrain from saying pass the thermos.

I love how this person who's opposed to masturbation equates the normality of it to the normality of pooping in the middle of the street.
...
I often find it amusing how some religious folk come up with some of the worst analogies ever. What's up with that?

I also found this analogy interesting. Perhaps it suggests a new form of laxative, where watching video or images of someone pooping could stimulate a movement in constipated individuals. This would work best for men. Constipated women should be advised to read bowel stimulating literature.

Well -- looks like it's time for bed....

Have fun.

Hush, Liz. Bishops don't know about this and there is no need for them to find out and cut you off. Don't spoil it for womenkind!

Did I ever tell you what my bishop said to me the day he found out I was getting a divorce? Oh, it makes my ex-wife's blood boil!!!

I think and believe that human masturbation is Pleasing unto God.

I think and believe that human masturbation is Pleasing unto God.

Yes Brack, the great God of the universe, along with his desire for you to form worlds and people them and educate them on how to be happy also wants you to allow your glands to have complete control over your body, for you, who he created to be like unto himself, to be no better than a dog down on all fours and sniffing.

Remember the words of Joseph Merrick, you are not an animal, you are a man.

Hey Gaz,

Masturbation is the safest sex that there is to Practice.

Here is some current medical information about masturbation:

Current medical statements about masturbation:


Physicians have completely reversed their beliefs about masturbation over the past few centuries. Masturbation, In the 18th and 19th century, was incorrectly linked to "general debility, consumption, deterioration of eyesight, disturbance of the nervous system, and so on...Polluting and debilitating for the individual, it had a destabilizing effect on society, as it prevented healthy sexual desire from fulfilling socially desirable ends--marriage and procreation, which was the foundation of the social order." 1


Alex McKay, research coordinator for the Sex Information and Education Council of Canada commented that many people currently feel guilty about masturbation: "The reason is that sex is supposed to be geared towards reproduction, and masturbation is about as far away from that as you can get...There is now a wide-ranging consensus among health professionals from all disciplines that masturbation is psychologically healthy and something most people do." Sex therapists Bill and Carolyn Chernenkoff from Saskatoon, SK, promote both mutual and private "self-stimulation." They say there's nothing more healthy for hormone-crazed teenagers than masturbation. If the kids are engaging in masturbation, then they won't be practicing sexual intercourse to the same degree, and risk catching STDs or becoming pregnant. 2


R. Jandl commented in an "Ask the Doctors" column that masturbation has a number of benefits:

It enables the playing out of pleasurable sexual fantasies.
It releases sexual tension and often produces a pleasant, tranquil feeling.
It helps a person become more comfortable with their own sexuality.
It is an enjoyable experience when shared with a partner.
It can curb impulses to have inappropriate sex with someone. 3


Other Internet and text references list additional benefits associated with masturbation:

No one gets pregnant by masturbating.
It helps maintain good pelvic blood flow and strong pc muscles.
It is safe. One cannot be infected with STDs during solitary masturbation.
It's great for stress relief.
It can help you sleep.
It can temporarily relieve menstrual cramps in women.
A person who masturbates can learn about the sexual responses of their own body, and thus be better prepared for sexual activity with a partner at a later time.


Some negative factors have been cited:

Among males, frequent and vigorous masturbation can produce skin abrasions. This can be avoided by using a lubricant such as KY jelly, Aqua-Lube, saliva or even soap and water.
It does take time away from other activities. Some younger teenagers masturbate a few times a day.
Prolonged sexual arousal in males without an ejaculation can cause pain due to blood congestion in the genital area. This is often called "blue balls". It is easily avoided by masturbating until ejaculation and orgasm occur.


People can and do masturbate throughout their lifetime without any deleterious side effects.
