is masturbation worst than sleeping around with people

[WArrior458]

well i was just wondering if u mastrubate once or twice a month is worst than sleeping around with people you don't know but sleeping around more than just once or twice a month like maybe 4 times

 

i was just wondering can i get ur opinions and don't be scared to say what u think

thank you

[providentielle]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with masturbation! You can do it as often as you want and it is ok. You learn about your body, you can't catch anything, you dont need to worry about pregnancy and you wont get your feelings hurt or hurt anyone else, its a no loose situation.

[annie24]

I don't quite understand. Worse? In what way? I think mastrubation is completely normal and healthy. Sleeping around with people you don't know is potentially dangerous - as you can get pregnant or STDs.

[WArrior458]

well nwat i mean is which one is consider worst i know by sleeping around u can get pregnant and maybe stds but morally which one is worst

 

iam not sure if ur understanding my point but i will try my best to explain it

[annie24]

well - they're your morals. I can't tell you that. Mastrubation takes care of your natural urges. I think if a person goes out and sleeps with different people all the time, that may indicate that they have some self-esteem issues. I think if you have an urge, it's better to take care of it yourself than to go out and use someone else for their body.

Let me guess, you were brought up in a very religious household. The truth is there's nothing wrong with masturbatoin, everyone does it, and your not going to hell or anything like that. Your question of what's morally better: using people for sex only and then abandoning them, or touching yourself and not risking harming anyone else would be funny if the fact that you were even asking this wasn't so sad.

[SPark]

The short answer to your question is "No, it isn`t"!

 

As Woody Allen says, "Don`t knock masturbation; it`s sex with someone I love." (from "Annie Hall")

That [sex] was the most fun I ever had without laughing.

Sex without love is an empty experience, but as empty experiences go, it's one of the best.

 

Sex between a man and a woman can be absolutely wonderful - provided you get between the right man and the right woman.

 

My love life is terrible. The last time I was inside a woman was when I visited the Statue of Liberty.

 

Love is the answer - but while you're waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty interesting questions.

 

I'm such a good lover because I practise a lot on my own.

It's not that I'm afraid to die. I just don't want to be there when it happens.

(Death)

 

The thing to remember is that each time of life has its appropriate rewards, whereas when you're dead it's hard to find the light switch. The chief problem about death, incidentally, is the fear that there may be no afterlife - a depressing thought, particularly for those who have bothered to shave. Also, there is the fear that there is an afterlife but no one will know where it's being held. On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done as easily lying down.

I am not the type of girl who doesn't go sleeping aound with people i don't know i do love sex don't me wrong but i rather do it with someone i care for and like or even love and has been a while since i haven't got some good loving

And yes my parent's are somewhat religious but honestly iam more spiritual than them..there is a differnce between spiritual and religious , but that's another topic to talk about

Thanks for you honest opinions every one

[arwen]

I think it's up to you to decide whether it's 'wrong' or not. If you don't feel right about it, don't do it and wait for that someone to share it with. There are no fixed morals for this kind of thing.

If your moral problems with masturbation don't come from religion, than where exactly do they come from? There is no way a secular person would have ANY qualms with masturbation. So I'm assuming that your problems come from either a conscious or unconscious feeling of guilt caused by your religious upbringing. Well, I'm here to tell you that there is absolutely nothing to be guilty about.

[LilMiss]

They way I see it is as follows:

 

you got needs...we all do

 

and if you don't have someone special in your life....what do you do?

 

do you go find someone to fulfill that need? but there may be risks involved: physical risks like std's, emotional risks, and spiritual risks. is it worth putting yourself out there each and every time you have an overwhleming urge?

 

If you are not gettin the 'loving' you need, then give it to yourself, i say.

 

And I also see it as, if you are comfortable with yourself in a sexual manner than there can be a higher probability that you'll be more comfortable with your sexual partner. And in that sense it is healthy to 'discover' your body.

 

Masturbation shouldn't been seen as something to do cuz you don't 'have' anyone, but something you can do to fulfill your own needs without relying on someone else.

 

But ending on a comic note....

 

Like Nike says "Just do it!" *smiles & giggles*

[WArrior458]

I have been thinking about it and don't feel as guilty because iam human and i guess the reason i felt guilty was because i was brought up and iam religious , but i know as soon as i find that person to share my needs and his needs just hope to God it will be soon , so at least i won't be feeling as guilty..

 

Thanks

PEace Out!!

[annie24]

I know this is a really complex issue for you. In my eyes - it's a perfectly natural thing - mastrubation. For me, it's better to do it, than to settle for some guy to fulfill those needs. Because getting into a relationship, even a friends with benefits one, just for some sex, is too complicated for me to do. Also, mastrubation helps me when I have bad period cramps.

 

But, those things are all for me. Like Ilse said - you just have to go with what works for you. Take care!

[hecka_bekah]

I just wanted to say that if you think that it is getting in your way of something else more important to you one way or another don't do it. I'm not going to preach to you one way or another. It's you're personal choice. If religion is the reason behind the guilt, than your choice not to is from pressure made by the people in the church (that's basically what religion is: humans' interpretation of God established into a church) but if you choose to based on other people's decisions even though you feel guilty that is the same difference. If your reason not to stems from guilt in your personal relationship with God then only you know what you need to do and no one else can tell you pro masturbation or not.

[Ursomeone]

But if u feel guilty bcaz after Masturbution bcaz of religion or some other stuff then I dont see any reason why wouldn't u feel guilty after sleeping with each and everyone (well....I dont mean every person walking in the street but u know....), caz i think having sex with a stranger is also a sin in religion or even bigger sin then masturbution.

 

To be honest, i was also feeling some kinda guilt after masturbution but thanks to all those who well satisified me with their justifications and replies, however, wat I feared was not the emotional guilty part but mostly I was thinking that it will harm me phsically but now I doubt it would.
