Masturbation is wrong?

...if it is wrong, I'm enjoying being wrong right now.

If lovin' yourself is wrong you don't wanna be right
If being right means being without yourself
you'd rather live a wrong doing life

Your mama and dad said
"It's a shame, it's a downright disgrace"
But long as you got yourself by your side
You don't care what your people say

Your friends tell you
There's no future in lovin' yourself
If you can't see you when you want you
You'll see you when you can

If lovin' yourself is wrong you don't wanna be right
If lovin' yourself is wrong you don't wanna be right

Can you imagine how lonely and frustrating adolescence would have been without masturbation? Once I reached puberty I knew there was always something enjoyable to do.
 
It's amazing that there are so few songs about masturbation, considering how popular it is. There's "In my Room" and others, but the most intelligent one was by John Prine in "Donald and Lydia"

Bob Dylan was especially impressed by this song. He said that nobody but John could have written it and gotten away with it ... not even he himself.

I remember I Touch Myself by Divinyls. No subtlety there but it had a good melody.

She Bop by Cyndi Lauper.

Probably the worst was The Stroke by Billy Squier.

Pictures of Lily by the Who was accused of being about that but they denied it. Less deniable was their hit Squeeze Box.
 
It’s a damm good thing that masturbation is not wrong, or id constantly be going to hell. I discover it when I was very young and haven’t stopped doing it. My husband likes to watch me do it. How many like to watch their husband or wife masturbate?

I always loved to see my ex masturbate.. Would love to watch you too..
 
I just finished the book, "I Heard You Paint Houses". It's the inside story of the mafia. The main character, Frank Sheeran said that he never masturbated. The church (Catholic) was against it and so was he.

Is this really a Catholic thing? I used to have a female friend who thought it was disgusting so she'd just hook up with various guys to get sex. She had one abortion and one child born out of wedlock.

My ex husband thought it was disgusting as well.

But I know a ton of other Catholic people and the subject just never came up.

Is this really frowned upon?

It's an extremist religious thing. A way to control the masses. (No pm's, please).
 
With no current boyfriend, I don't know what I would do without being able to masturbate. I don't need to daily, but when the urges arise, you can only stem the tide of desire so long before it becomes painfully frustrating.
 
Sunday school teacher told a bunch of us that masturbating was ok!! Better than sex out of wedlock!!

Masterbate whenever you feel the need.it’s natural.

I do. I used to feel a lot of guilt from it many years ago. That was from being told it was something "good girls" didn't do. I can now enjoy it and do whenever I masturbate.

I think we all were told that it was bad to masturbate. I still love to do it too...would love to chat about it
 
I remember this one time at school at the pool I had to walk past all these hot girls and even a few hot guys to get to the toilets. I had board shorts and nothing below so there as plenty of rubbing and an orgasm going on as I walked. Thankfully it wasn't noticeable. From then on I felt it was a really good thing to masturbate, I didn't want that to happen again.

My generation jokes about it like it's something everyone does. And the very few times leaders in my youth group talked about not doing it, they seemed unsure of themselves. So glad I wasn't brought up Catholic, that shit's nasty as fuck.
 
Schoolboys used to be taught that if they didn't masturbate, their sperm would be re-absorbed into the body and make them stronger, smarter, and more energetic. The teachers claimed that this practice of chastity was what made white men so superior to the "dark races" that didn't control their libidos.

It's interesting that the concept would no longer be tied to religious practice, but instead would be transferred to some sort of quasi-medical frame.
 
2001/04 Catholic girl's school ~ In order to avoid masturbation... "don't touch yourself there" was the advice from our guidance counselors ;)
 
As one good Nun said firmly, "God wouldn't give you a toy, then tell you not to play with it."

It might have been George Carlin who said, "If God didn't want us to masturbate, He would have made our arms shorter."
 
I agree masturbation is wrong except in emergency situations. Otherwise, get out there and get you a partner to get off with.
 
Wrong?

"Is this really a Catholic thing? ... Is this really frowned upon?"

It came under "Impure Deeds" and we were fed a formidable barrage of 'anti' propaganda, all wrapped in religiosity. There were also "Impure Thoughts". The nuns were very big on "Impure".
Definitely a Catholic thing - that masturbation is a MORTAL sin! You were condemned to eternal Hell if you died after masturbating, but before confessing and repenting. I got "absolved" every week, on Saturday, so I could receive communion on Sunday. I never stopped masturbating until I got married at age 23 - didn't need to for about 20 years. Then she stopped wanting sex - so I started again. BUT, this time without guilt. I haven't been to church in almost 40 years.
