**GUILTY feeling AFTER I masturbate**

---

I feel like such a hypocryte. After I masturbate (usually by thinking dirty thoughts or porn) I feel guilty. In my mind I'm like "What if my parents saw what I was doing? Even more importantly what would GOD have to say?" Since I'm a Catholic I dunno if masturbation is a sin...I mean It never REALLY says it in the Bible. Also, Im not REALLY like addicted to masturbation but I do it when I get the urges. Anyone ever feel the same way I do? Any advice? -SaM

Actually there's a story in the bible about a guy pulling out during sex and "spilling his seed on the earth," so that would be applied to masturbation aswell.The catholic church is a smidge off though to be honest. They say homosexuality is okay, but gay sex is not... Most of their contemporary beliefs need to be readdressed, but that won't happen until dear old Bennedict XVI is no longer living, so in roughly 5 years, you can masturbate without feeling guilty.Besides, the general belief with God is that he wants you to be happy, and since an orgasm releases endorphins... It would be logical to assume that God sorta kinda intended for masturbation to be alright.

In reply to:Actually there's a story in the bible about a guy pulling out during sex and "spilling his seed on the earth," so that would be applied to masturbation aswell.What does that even have to do with masturbation? It's the story of Onan, who God commands to have sex with his brother's wife. Onan gets cold feet. God gets upset. God may have a crazy temper, but He didn't really say anything about masturbation in that story.The Catholic church has a lot of rules that come and go, but it's not clear that there is a scriptural problem with masturbation. But there is a very big scriptural problem with male homosexuality. God may want you to be happy, but not if it involved sodomy with another guy.

OMG Helms you read my mind with that pic! as soon as i read the subject heading i'm thinking " well god does kill the kittens..." !!

"This is Bob Barker reminding you to help control the pet population. Go out and masturbate."

Actually there's a story in the bible about a guy pulling out during sex and "spilling his seed on the earth," so that would be applied to masturbation aswell.No...this has nothing to do with masturbation. God got mad at him for 'spilling his seed' because he interuppted God's plan to have children and didn't go through with it.

I guess there are times I feel guilty and other's I could care less....I think it's that Catholic upbringing doing it

Yes, as I mentioned a couple of posts above yours.

i guess because sex is such a taboo in society in general, some people might think, is this natural? is it dirty? if they have no reassurance, they start to build up doubtsif things were more open maybe things would be easier in this sense

For some wierd reason, certain religions evolved a hostility toward sex and sexuality. There are a lot of cultures where that never happened. Thankfully, people in the West are evolving away from those foolish beliefs.

well ive made a commitment to not masturbate as much, hopefully that will help...thanks for the information everyone! -SaM

Gotta love Barker...cuz the pet population is one of the world's greatest worries.

> well ive made a commitment to not masturbate as much, hopefully that will help

How does that fix the problem? It's like fixing a flat tire by not driving your car.

yea, I'm like you in this matter.But most of the time I wait till the house is empty, then i masturbate. I don't know why, but whis that I don't feel guilty anymore

It's like fixing a flat tire by not driving your car.lol. That made me laugh. That is kind of true. But like one post said above me. Do it when theres no one in the house. I could really care less (with my twin sister and all) and do it whenever i feel like. Which is usually about once a day. Thats a kitten a day im killing!Im christian. I think its like the same as cotholic.. and my dad once tried to talk to me about sex and said the word masturbation and then he was like all "No. No maturbation. Its not right. Its a sin. Dont ever do it." But I do it anyways. My parents suck

Aww there nothing wrong with that I buddist and it disrepectful to r body 2 have mulitipal sex wit different ppl then remain to one. two boy pressure me at same at 12 I was to0 young to understand what sex was didn't know any better. You have nothing to be ashamed of I don't either and repect your religion but I feel that those that made this religion up is afriad to express there feelings so they make up an excuse to ? others by putting us through it you understand what I'm tryinn to tell you? i hope and there is NOTHING WRONG wit being curious we all are :wink:

> "No. No maturbation. Its not right. Its a sin. Dont ever do it."
