OK, my last post came too late.In reply to:masturbation can do great damage to you sexuallyAnd playing tennis can damage you physically, and haveing a romantic relationship can damage you emotionally. It doesn't mean that people should stop doing those things. In any case, I don't see how it applies to the original poster.It would have been nice if God had been less abstruse and oblique, and just said that female masturbation is bad, if that's what he intended. It would save a lot of time spent debating the issue.It looks like fundamentalists had better stop masturbating, as well as divorcing. But I'm not going to hold my breath.

In reply to: masturbation can do great damage to you sexually--------------------------------------------------------------------------------And playing tennis can damage you physically, and haveing a romantic relationship can damage you emotionally. It doesn't mean that people should stop doing those things. In any case, I don't see how it applies to the original poster It is preceeded by "It may be difficult to understand," and followed by "Your sexual stimulation and pleasure can become tied to certain images that aren't reality, that only exist in your head. Your future sex life within your marriage, could suffer."Why you chose to argue with that fragment of the total post, I dont know. Considering that the poster is married, is guided by faith and concerned with her masturbation, I think what I posted applies to the original poster.

The clitical citation doesn't prove anything. It just shows that there are confliciting opinions. If you claim that the bible says that female masturbation is wrong, you should be able to demonstrate that.If you claim claim that there's a McDonalds on the dark side of the moon, I can tell you why I think it's an absurd idea, but I can't prove that there's not one there.The whitehouse.org page was an attempt at humor. It's a parody on the moralistic stance of the President and some of his supporters.

I well understood what you said, and extending the quote doesn't change my response.I suppose that's up to the original poster to decide. People who are religious but who are not fundamentalists have their own personal ways of believing.

As a Christian, I think I'm going to have to agree with Steve on this one. (Alert the media!!!)The Bible says nothing at all about masturbation. As for Onan, he didn't use masturbation but used early withdrawal. (I love the jokes about 'substantial penalty for early withdrawal'.)I think too many Christians have taken too hard a stand on masturbation and have actually done more damage to youngsters than good. Sure, it can cause problems. It can become an addiction which is horrible. Lustful thoughts are obviously dealt with in the Bible. But what about the single man who decides to remain a virgin but ocassionally pleasures himself and, instead of fantasizing about a girl, concentrates on himself and the pleasure he recieves. If not done obsessively, as an addiction, or lustfully, what's the problem.I can cite you quote after quote from religious leaders (even conservative/evangelical ones) who support my position.

Referring to my original post, this great debate is what was bothering me. There are some other things that I don't see as being "wrong" but others do. Some would argue that oral sex is wrong and against nature, etc. Personally, I love it. I love to give it, I love to get it and the same with my husband. So if neither of us has a problem with it, is it wrong? I don't know how he feels about masturbation except to say that he likes to see me do it when we make love. So is it better for me to keep my hands FROM myself and have MAJOR physical and emotional tesion build up or is it better to "take myself to bed", get it all out and thereby, be more relaxed and able to mentally deal with whatever comes my way. (I know which I prefer and which kind of person my kids would rather deal with when Dad is gone for 5 days and home for 2 from now until July.)

Disclaimer: This response is for people who care what the Bible says (since I'm responding to someone who apparently does). All others...I understand...please move on. As for oral sex in a marriage...The Bible says that the marriage bed is undefiled. I take that to mean that whatever a married couple wants to do sexually is fine, as long is it is not harmful, is by mutual consent, and doesn't violate any other Biblical principles. Carry on!

PrincessG, you're doing just fine, and Damien, what you said sounds perfectly reasonable to me.The idea that maturbation is a sin is a case of the cart dragging the horse...if the purpose of religion is to improve the quality of one's life.

the body you are provided comes from the earth, the basic elements of life it even says so in the bible. as far as i can remember I don't think the bible ever mentioned anything about masturbation and if you want to get on the subject of desicrating gods temple then how do you get by? you grow your of veggies and kill your own game for meat? Because everything you find in the store has some sort of preservitave or additions and that in itself is desicrating gods temple with forgeing substance, that which is not naturally provided
