michel said:I'm certainly not going to kick you out of my mind for your personal views - even though I still have Christian 'bits' in me.
I would disagree with you though, because, like every thing else in the world, exposure to too much of anything lowers our way of reacting to it in the future - at worst, it can even make us become something we would never have thought of being in the past.
The police here are permanently on the prowl for paedophiles - computers are taken away, and the drives 'trawled' through to see if there is any incriminating evidence.
I think there is an inherent danger (For the police) in that. Not long ago, there was a murder of a young girl here in England - I can't think of her name, and it is unimportant for the purposes. The policeman in charge of befriending and comforting the family of the girl who was sexually abused was later found to have paedophelic material on his computer. Can you imagine how that must have made the girl's family feel like?
The point I am trying to make is that too much of anything devalues the enjoyment of it in the future - at best. Worst case scenario is that too much exposure renders us desensatized, and therefore open to finding 'something better'.
There is no way that I am going to sit here and say that I don't masturbate, or that I haven't seen pornography;however, given the chance to re-live my life knowing what I now know, I thinkl I would avoid both. But that is only my viewpoint.
Whoa hold on here, Paedophelia is forbidden in the bible. I'm talking about Adult stuff. "anyone who causes these little ones to sin it is better for them to have a large milstone thrown around his waist and cast into the sea" "do unto others as they would have do unto you" I wouldn't want myself to be exposed as a little kid so its bad, I don't mind if someone wants to see me naked on a computer (I don't know of anybody who would) but I'm grown up.

HMM...well, if it was a sin, then that would make oral sex a sin period. I have heard that God has a sick sense of humor....well...
Any manipulation of the genitalia would be in the same catagory. If God gave you a hand and a part, lol, then, he must have deemed it okay. Masturbation is mostly an outlet for stress, and self-preservation if those times of being alone without a lover. Would it be better to go out and have premaritial sex?? Most of You would think not. Would it be wiser to go out and commit exmarital affairs, if your signifcant other is not into rolling around in the hay?? Think about it.

its assumed but not specifically told, so we have to disconsider it when dealing with the bible anyway.

It has been happening for god knows how long . .
The Egyptians, for example, celebrated masturbation as the process by which the sun god, Atum, created the first Adam and Eve equivalents, Shu and Tefnut. "With the hand of God, Atun masturbated and brought forth the first pair of souls."
The pros / cons in the eyes of ones 'god' should surely be between you an them.

Would you get launched out of heaven for masturbating, bearing in mind that forgiveness is supposed to be the buzzword up there?

If you made a mess, then I guess it would be straight to hell, foregivness or otherwise . .

masturbation is my way or relaxing and letting off steem. You dont always need a visual aid as I just knock one off in the work toilets without pictures or a dirty movie. My sex education teacher told me it was fine to masturbate as it keeps your body creating sperm and will help when you when you come to have children. My girlfriend often masturbates and does me as this way I am not cheeting on my wife.

Very harsh place, I reckon I'd wind up in hell sooner or later if that's the script up there.
May not even make it there at all.

Is getting a 'peel and polish' a crime with a similar punishment? I mean it achieves the same objective.
What is the official way of relieving sexual tention without jeapordising your passage to heaven?

I would just hope there is some flexibility in the rules, 3 strikes?? Surely any religion worth it salt would offer forgiveness and the ability to repent your sins.
