I'm mormon and i want to know if its ok or not to m********e...?

Question

I just recently learned what masturbating was and i read about it on teenwire.com, and it said it was perfectly healthy and such. But being a Mormon i also looked it up on wikipedia, which said we Mormons believe that it is bad and things like that. But i want know for sure, and how it can affect me 'spiritually' if i do decide to m********e.

Answer 1

It is your sole right to do what ever you like to your body. Masturbation is a healthy act. Only the religious advocates hate it.... So, I don't know much about Mormanism. But I can tell you it is really good for you.

It is great! And the feeling you get from this cannot be compared to s*x.

Answer 2

I'm not sure about the Mormon thing but its not perverted or gross to m********e but wen you masterbait you look at your self

Answer 3

1.Just because your a mormon doesn't mean you can't go through a stage in life

2.it is not gross at all. you need to do it!

Answer 4

Pornography and masturbation are both sins.  

Christ said that we shouldn't LUST after someone that's not our spouse.  Masturbation is a sin of lust (as is pornography).  Both are sexual sins.  Additionally it is a a "gateway" sin.  It easily leads to other sexual activity.  

"For the Strength of Youth" page 27:

"Before marriage, do not do anything to arouse the

powerful emotions that must be expressed only in

marriage. Do not participate in passionate kissing, lie

on top of another person, or touch the private, sacred

parts of another person’s body, with or without clothing.

Do not allow anyone to do that with you. Do not arouse

those emotions in your own body."

I'm grossed out by looking at another guy's p***s.....but that's probably because I'm a guy.  Girl private parts are a totally different thing!  

Guys are wired VERY differently than girls.  For girls, enjoying penises is generally a learned thing.  For guys, we're programed to be interested in naked girls.  For the most part (with relativly few exceptions) guys are not grossed out by girls "private parts".

....as for many of the other responders, Isaiah 5:20 says, "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil".  Many are claiming that what is evil is "normal" or even good.  

Hope that helps.

Answer 5

No it's not OK, it is frowned upon.

The reason?  Because any sexual-type stimulation or acts should be held for marriage, so it's only between you and your spouse.  The feelings you have are natural and normal, but having control of those feelings (and actions) is what the Lord wants us to do.  We should reserve every sexual act for our married life - even our Bishop told my husband (after we were married) that it's only OK to m********e if I am "helping" in some way, that he shouldn't do it alone...

It can affect you spiritually because you are going against what the Lord wants you to do.  period.

Seriously, wait for all that good stuff for marriage.  You don't need to be touching yourself.  

Answer 6

Masturbation is natural, normal and healthy.

No one should be telling you it's wrong.

Answer 7

It's your body do what you want with it.

Answer 8

honestly its healthy and its a part of life. and its your choice not your religions choice.  

Answer 9

Do what you feel comfortable with.
