Masturbation and spirituality: Is there a connection?

[Buzzboy]

I've been wondering if there is a spiritual component to masturbation. Opinions anyone?

I think masturbation is what people do who haven't got anyone to do "it" with them.

I am not spiritual and I am an atheist. So no I don’t see a connection. But I am known to say Oh God during orgasms.

"Is?" Hard to say in any particular instance.

"Could be?" There could be a spiritual component to anything.

I'm sure there are some people who some of the time make their spiritual experience sexy or make their masturbation spiritual, or who generally "fit" masturbation into their spiritual world-view in some way without making it into a sacrament or ritual - or into a sin.

New meaning to “the second cumming of Christ”

In a way, kinda, yeah.

No. Any more questions?

When I was younger, I'd make masturbation almost a ritual. I'd get high and try to get into a higher plane of consciousness, and then jack off while I was there. It was especially powerful with magic mushrooms.

It doesn't have to be religious. I think of it as a form of meditation with myself, unhindered by other's needs and expectations, where I can explore all worlds great and small. Sex with other people is great; sex with me is great. I have never stopped masturbating just because I am in a relationship. A day with a friend is nice; a day home alone is nice, too.

Surely everyone masturbates dont know if being a Christian or other faith makes a difference

 

[PapaRomantic]

It's true that when you masturbate, you are at one with yourself, so....

 

[AngelColleen]

If you are referring to the fact a good masturbation session and orgasms make me say “Oh God” and feel heavenly then yes, there is a connection.

 

[TwinkleStars]

Only if you hold a bible while masturbating.

Something to consider.
