I just think that a majority of people masturbate because they have seen (and we'll use guys for the example since I am a guy and all) an attractive girl and get fired up and are lustfully desiring that person. I don't know about the act itself being wrong, although I don't think it is right (if that makes any sense) but I think that to keep oneself from getting caught up in lust that he should avoid that act cuz it is usually a product of lust. <blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr>[color:"blue"]The sex is evil orientation of the papacy has made issues of this big when they are not.</font><hr></blockquote><p>I agree there. Sex is a good thing. I have never had it myself, since I am not married. And I think that sex is created as an act of worship in marriage is something that is never spoken of anymore. In fact, I don't know that that was ever spoken of like that. [img]http://www.the-highway.com/w3timages/icons/eek.gif" alt="eek" title="eek[/img] So you make a good point.
