Wow! Ok, we're about as polar opposite as two humans can get, so I'm not going to even bother to try and persuade you of the world of wonders that can be experienced thanks to the Handbag Hercules :rotfl:. However, what is your particular issue with masturbation? Is it that it's not going to lead to procreation? Or that it is dirty? Is it on religious grounds? I'm just asking because I'm genuinely curious and trying to understand your pov.Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. - C.S. Lewis0 -

no they don't 'have' to be acted upon...but that is easy to say if you are in a long term relationship (and it continues until one is not that interested anyway)...but what would you say to a young woman who has lost the love of her life and cannot ever see herself marrying again? Surely it is not that easy to, as I said, sublimate what is a natural urge? It isn't impossible of course..but beyond 'most' of us.This is a system account and does not represent a real person.

Give us one good reason why.
As I have previously said (I) we don't have to act on urges however natural. (II) God in no way intended man to behave in this way, since the fall of man everything changed.
The way it is intended to be.Lost my soulmate so life is empty.

No I never did before I married. To be absolutely honest it's not something I'd ever thought about.[/QUOTE]
Tbh that is not the same, it's a bit like saying you never thought much about eating chocolate before you first tasted it... it's much more difficult to give it up when you know how good it is!This is a system account and does not represent a real person.
