    my entire circle of friends thinks that masturbation is disgusting. i mean, i guess it is, especially when you're talking about it with someone...but i don't get it. statistics say that most teenagers masturbate. so why is it viewed as something disgusting and immoral? the act of connecting with your body and being so in tune with your own hormones and sexual functions is...amazing. yeah, it's kinda gross, and not exactly something you'd discuss at the dinner table. but i don't understand why it's looked down upon. it's part of being human. and why, if it's true that most teenagers experiment with their bodies, am i surrounded by the few people that don't??

    idk why it matters. i'm happy in my own little world of, erm...being in harmony with myself. it just kinda irks me.

    yeah I grew up thinking it was "disgusting" at the end of the day it is a great way to relive stress and I can't see any negatives. I think the only way to get rid of the myth about it being disgusting is to talk about it openly as treating something as a taboo subject will usually result in people thinking it is one.

    Okay, one, BEST TITLE for a thread EVER! So, kudos, kudos. Secondly, they’re lying. You know it. I know it. Santa Claus knows it. They love doing it.

    Just so you know, people cannot live without peeing, pooping (laugh if you want...), sneezing, coughing, and expelling nose oysters from their nasal cavities...and it’s disgusting. BUT, EVERYONE DOES IT! And if someone tells you they don’t poop because it’s disgusting tell them “THEN YOU SHOULD BE DEAD!” LMAO. But, in all seriousness, sometimes I feel weird about talking about it, sure as Hell love doing it LOL, yea yea yea WE ALL DO IT and I ADMIT IT, sometimes I'd feel bad doing it but then I realize “Why?”- it’s my body, I am to explore and learn everything I must about it for my own sake, and that is my prerogative. I’m much more comfortable with my body now then I was as an exploring pre-teen but that’s because I explored safely- I can’t make myself pregnant (given the fact that it’s self-loving [LOL] and I’m a dude) and I can’t get any STIs and crap. :slight_smile:

    Anyways, I’m deviating. Those girls you spoke of do it. Case closed. A guy in my computer class used to harass me in Grade 9 always embarrassing me in front the class aloud asking, “Do you jerk off” everyday (and I didn’t want to answer because I do LOL) to the point my comp class teacher yelled back at him, “Don’t you!?” AND HE SHUT THE FUCK UP FROM THAT DAY ON because he was now the one embarrassed! LMAO! I kid you not! I think it’s so (and still) taboo because of our religious practices and traditional teaching about how the body is sacred and a “temple” and so on and so forth. If we violate it sexually (i.e. masturbation, pre-marital sex, etc.) we violate our holy places. Most religions hold that sexuality is a God-given gift and should be explored in the parameters of a sanctified union with God (i.e. marriage), thus if we violate that by ‘hopping on the good foot and doing the bad thing’ (LOL) even through self-simulation we desecrate the body and insult that gift given to us by God.

    It matters because it's about exploring your sexuality.

    It's perfectly normal. Relax. Chill. Go masturbate! xD

    They're lying. Guys lie about it so people don't think they're pervs. Girls lie because girls are "supposed" to be pure and they can't let other people know that they do things like fart or poop or, god forbid, masturbate. It's just this stupid and illogical mentality that people have.

    lol @messed up. that's an awesome teacher.

    i hate when society sets up its own stupid parameters of what's "appropriate." of course, i think it would be really weird if suddenly there were facebook updates like "nothing better than a hot shower and an orgasm on a rainy day!" lol. but still...

    Masturbating is normal but I recommend not doing it or at least not to porn.

    I quit one month ago and now I have that soul glow. Serious.

    I do know people who don't masturbate, either for lengths of time or ever. That's their decision. Personally, I think it's a good thing. It's fun, it feels good, you learn about what makes you tick, and it's a chance to enjoy yourself. :slight_smile:

    It seems "society" as a whole is OK discussing "things going in the body" - eating and drinking. Hell, you can do those activities with your friends. But when it comes to anything coming out of the body - defecation, bleeding, ejaculation - that's private and not discussed except possibly in the most roundabout way. But just because people don't like talking about doesn't mean it's wrong, or that you shouldn't do it. Go on with your good self. :slight_smile:

    so true!!!


    My sis thinks its digusting, but i do it, and so do most of my friends. I think it is good for you. And, if you aren't ACTIVE, and you wanna stay that way for a lil while, it helps to keep you from getting so f*ing horny that you go against you not being active. (or so 1 one my friends claim.) personaly, tho, i still wanna sexual relationship- not that that is all i want!:icon_bigg

    People who think it's disgusting are mostly afraid to try it, or to admit they do it. Beats me why society still think it's shameful.

    I can't speak from a male point of view, but for girls it's not easy because it takes a bit longer to figure out how it works, and a lot of us still think we are supposed to "preserve our purity" or something idiotic like that. It's completely ridiculous if you ask me, but nothing we can do about it. Just keep doing what you like, and spread the word, if you want to. The more girls get informed, the better.

    My cousin posted a similar status update once actually.

    I'm personally too shy to talk about it to my few friends I have, and around my girlfriend I flush, get really quiet, and practically faint when she asks about it (probably since I know she can actually USE that information for other purposes :eusa_danc).

    And yeah, most other girls I knew SAID it was disgusting to masturbate. They probably should of masturbated, because three of them ended up pregnant. Is this irony?

    EDIT: Actually, I think that's hypocrisy.

    Well, cool tittle and even cooler topic, I say.
    On that note I think it's immature to pretend to be disgusted by masturbation, or to feel the need to say out loud that you don't do it (whether it's truth or a lie don't really matter).
    Truth is masturbation is great as a part of a healthy sex life. Most people know that a healthy sex life lets you focus more on everyday chores, on your work, it kills anxiety and depression, it makes your body very happy and shiny with good hormones, making you healthy longer and better, making you more relaxed and more attractive as a general thing too.
    Also it has the effect of letting you learn about your own pleasure, that makes you more able to show your partner what works with you, thus making you better in bed too.

    The only downside about masturbation is when you always do it the same way (or in front of the same type of porn). That makes your libido lazy in the long run. Better not be lazy and try lots of new stuff all the time.

    Gotta loooove a person who admits to masturbating good in a regular basis. I find it sexy too.

    Hmmm...this is pretty weird. Although we've never had a major conversation about it, none of my friends are disgusted by masturbation at all. I joke around about it with my guy friends when they're single or looking for a girl and we laugh about it, and the girls that I know joke around about it too. I guess it more or less depends on who you're talking to about it, and how close you are to them.

    I took up doing it to imagination-porn about a month ago, and now I have something that could be described as soul glow.

    If anyone out there is worrying about religion and masturbation, please look up Tantra, a spiritual system that honours human beings, sexuality and all, and encourages masturbation as a spiritual practice.

    Don't listen to people like them. There is nothing wrong with masturbation. If there were no masturbation, how else would we release all these pent up feelings?

    If everybody would spend a little more time loving themselves, we'd have less time (or energy) for war! masturbate for peace! masturbate for love! Masturbate for life! (!)

    I think that masturbation is a very positive thing, but it can definitely be overdone. I am about 15 days into rebooting...

    It's fine to do, but I don't really agree with it being considered a "positive" thing, seeing as it's really all in the beholders eyes... I only ever masturbate when I'm actually bored so I just see it as something to do. It's certainly not negative, but I mean, it's not special either...
