And, for those masturbating 21+ times per month, like wolfvanzandt, it's hard to refrain from over doing it- because it's so habitual.
I have absolutely no problem avoiding overdoing it. It's not habitual - unless you want to call eating or exercise habitual. I simply don't come close to causing myself physical injury. It would be so difficult for me to injure myself masturbating that I don't even think about the chance of physical injury. You would have to masturbate for an hour to damage yourself (unless you have extremely thin skin).
Also, I don't use a lubricant. I can believe that these folks you refer to, WhatLoveIs, has never masturbated. They don't seem to have a clue.

Also, as stated in the "what if i stop masturbating" thread, masturbating face down (ie. humping a pillow, ect.) can cause irrepreable damage to the muscles inside the penis. It is sound advice to recomend that men should never masturbate themselves face down.
That's not something I've done often but I have done it enough to wonder what these people are talking about. The people that broke themselves must have been on drugs or something. Of course, people are getting to where they don't pay attention to what they're doing more and more and I guess they might do something really stupid.......

Masturbation feeds the habit of porn veiwing for those, who are addicted to pornography or other sexual sins/perversions/addictions.
I question that. People addicted to porn become aroused and masturbate. The pornography is causing the problem - masturbation is a natural response to any kind of arousal. I guess if you didn't have an orgasm after viewing pornography, it would make it somewhat less pleasant and you might quit but that's not the same thing as saying that masturbation feeds the habit of pornviewing.
quote:
All ministries that effectively set men free from porn, all reccomend porn addicts should stop the practice of masturbation, as well as, eliminating sources of porn in their life.
THat's simply because they already thing masturbation is bad. They're biased. What they need to do is stop using pornography.
quote:
Freedom from masturbation is possible, enjoyable, and more satisfying. And, those testimonies, and the testimonies here on these forums attest to that fact.
I would suspect that most of these folks were already taught from an early age that masturbation is bad and quiting relieved the guilt that they shouldn't have had to start with. It wasn't quiting masturbation that made a difference, it was stopping the guilt. You can get plenty of testamonies of people you do not have (and never have had) problems with masturbation.
To establish facts, you need a lot more than testamonies. You simply don't know the background facts of those testimonies. You need scripture, or solid experimentation.
