Masturbation: Right or Wrong?

in #health9 years ago (edited)

This Article takes a critical look into the act of masturbation. The reason behind it and the religious perspective and people's standpoint generally.

Masturbation is an act used to fulfill a sexual desire. But at a point the question of the act being "right or wrong, usually rings in the mind of those involve in this act. Outside the morality of the act, have we considered the effect it has on our body? A lot of people develop the following symptoms after masturbation: weakness, headache, a sense of guilt, lack of concentration, increase heart beat, fear, lack of confidence, and lack of proper erection.
The human body with time adapts to environment, and certain habits, through the signal we send to it through the brain, when the body is used to masturbation, it makes it difficult to sustain erection when the moment of true love making comes up.
Nature is so wonderful and has showed man, how things ought to be, but despite these tips, man always depends on his intellect, and do the things that feels right to him. Sex in the real sense involves exchange of energies between two lovers, but this energy becomes wasted when we take part in masturbation. Now the question arises, how can we overcome this addiction?

Self Control: every act begins with the thought process, and what we allow into our thought process has a way of influencing us. Learn to filter, what you watch, think, and listen. Some people seek happiness by engaging in masturbation, but as soon as the feelings goes away they slump back into their sadness. True happiness comes from engaging oneself in creative activities.
Happiness comes from impacting positively on ourselves, family, and the larger society. So many people derive a sense of fulfillment by putting a smile on the faces of others. Push aside whatever thoughts that are not worth investing on, in other words negative thoughts.
Engage yourself.
The thoughts of masturbation pop up when people are lonely. So to avoid this, it is good for one to surround him or herself with positive people. Yes urges are natural feelings, including the urge for food, urinate or to have sex, but we should not be controlled by our urges but instead we should learn to control whatever urges we have. It is very important we take into consideration the manner we go about to fulfill our urges, because we are hungry, does not mean we should steal. Sex does not make any sense when love is missing, so the first step to fulfilling any sexual desire is to look for love, and love involves sharing.

You can't use a tool properly when you don't practice with it.

It's certainly a bad idea to masturbate a couple of times right before you plan to have sex with a partner, and there's a lot of people with an unhealthy masturbation habit. Your post is too generalizing though and repeats old and wrong claims.

He sounds like the campaings anti drugs.

Some really badly thought through reasoning here.

Do you actually have any data. or evidence to back up your claims about the post-masturbation symptoms? They seem to have been pulled out of thin air. As for the claim that masturbation causes the inability to sustain an erection, that has been dismissed too many times to count.

Ok, let's see. The title and the opening paragraph looked somewhat promising, so I opened and read it. Unfortunately, the text completely lacks any criticism of itself . It cannot be said to take a critical look. It's too one sided opinion text for that. Too much tunnel vision, can't recommend. Merely a weak attempt to rationalize why religious doctrines should be followed.

I learned nothing by reading it. If you seriously want to convince someone that masturbation should not be done, start with deeply understanding why people do it. The superficial understanding you show in this article is severely lacking in that department.
