I think mastrubation is weird and moronic. Just the act, not the person. :x
Also I've heard people say that they don't feel very comfortable shaking people's hands that they know mastrubate.
It seems to me that mastrubation isolates a person and makes them see themselves as a physical creature instead of a spiritual creature. But, some people can get away with anything and be fine, others can't.
Mastrubation is NOT a good thing to follow after. All it does is satisfy some physical urge. It has no redeeming qualities. There is no point to mastrubating. There is no way I'm going to stick up for something that is pointless. I like everything and I think that everything is good, but mastrubation is not a thing. It is an action. Actions are supposed to have reasons behind them. The only reason a person has behind mastrubation is that they are horny and they obey their body just to make their body shut up. Why give in to the body? The body is there for the spirit not the spirit for the body. If a person doesn't have enough discipline to control mastrubation how will they ever be able to discipline themself in other areas of life?
I think the important thing is to make a decision. You either must choose that mastrubation is good and accept it and love it and be willing to stick up for it- or you can choose that you believe mastrubation is an enemy to you and then hate and despise the act.
Matthew 12:33- "Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit."
Some people naturally think that mastrubation is good. Others naturally think that it is bad. You have to decide if you think it is good or bad. Based on your decision, you will either perfect the art of mastrubation or you will abstain from it.
I naturally think that it is bad. Some people think it is sexy. I am not one of those people. In my mind mastrubation is obeying the flesh and letting the flesh win.
Romans 8:13- "For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live."
Mastrubation empowers the flesh.
To me, mastrubation is minding the things of the flesh.
Romans 8:5-10- "For they that after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness."
