Masturbation for GUYS!

xmoongirlx · #1 10th March 2008, 02:57 PM

Hi I have a question! Is it true that guys NEED to release sperm, otherwise they can develop testicular cancer?

God created us to wait till marriage to indulge into sexual activities.I know masturbation is wrong, but then how do guys deal with it? Have you decided not to masturbate or have any sexual activities that allows you to release sperm? just to obey GOD!

If someone can explain, I would greatly appreciate it

I'll take you guys into more deep, I've decided to have total abstinance until marriage and my boyfriend was not very happy with it but he understood. But he told me it was also bad for him because of what I just explained above, so he told me he would have to do smething he didn't want to do and it is:masturbating! Does he have to?

HELP!!!

No. A person, male or female, can live their whole lives without ever masturbating and still be alright. The whole "masturbation helps prevent w/e disease" is just stupid...its like low-fat butter or soy milk and whatever that claims to "reduce the risk" of something but in reality you know it doesn't do squat.

But then the willpower required to stop is another issue. Many have tried, many have failed. It's far from easy, I'll tell you that.

I've heard this as well, but I've not spent too much time studying it. In any event, if it does help prevent prostate disease, it's not something he will have concern about till much later in life. At 18, he's fine.

Men don't have to masturbate. Men who don't masturbate will have wet dreams more often, and that's the body's natural way of release.

God would never build the body so that you have to sin to take care of it. Your boyfriend is just being a whiny little boy who lost his toys.

There was a full lenght discussion about this in the mens health forum at some stage.

Believe me, I have done extensive research about this, both medically and spiritually. I will share what I have concluded, in a shell:

God created the reproductive system of a man to produce sperm. It is an ongoing process that doesn't stop. At some stage whether it be a week or 8 weeks, different from guy to guy, there needs to be a release of the produced sperm.

If you don't manually get rid of it ( via masturbation ), it is automatically released in the form of a wet dream ( a.k.a. nocturnal emission ). It needs to be released otherwise inflamation ( I hope I got this word right with translation ) might occur in the epididymis where sperm is stored.

The lawfullness of manually letting it out through masturbation is debatable. I don't wanna get into ''is it wrong or not'', I will be here all night. But in several places in the Bible it states that especially the men, in wartime or in a situation where they are in a camp ( in the old testament ) needed to go outside the camp to clean up if something happened to them during the night - it specifically refers to an emission that happened on it's own. The other big problem with masturbation is the thoughts that accompany the action. Your soul dimension is at risk during such activities, I speak from experience.

I personally have concluded that I will let God, through nature, go His course in my life. I have given control of that part of my life to Him. I know this might still be a difficult conclusion to a healthy 18 year-old guy.

But I will stop here with detail, because this is not a guys-only forum.

Boys will make up any excuse to get a girl to sleep with them. I find it pretty sad that he is trying to guilt you into it. I remember when guys told girls mountain dew contained a food coloring that worked as a birth control.

The reproductive system in males is constantly churning out new cells and so there is always a risk of a build up of biproducts which can lead to cancer. These are flushed out without masturbation- that's why the body does it.

Is this boy a devout Christian? Do you think he has your interests in mind? I can pretty much tell you it is very difficult to date someone that is wanting sex when the other one, because incidents happen.

I don't know if your boy friend is religious or not but it doesn't sound like he is from what you've said. A man who follows the Lord and commits himself to Gods word and prays about such things as masterdating or fornication. He will not have a hard time with it, that is if he truly desires the Lord more then the flesh that won't permanently satisfy.

Make note that if he were to fall or stray away from the Lord that there is a chance he could slip up and let the lust take over again, this why we must becareful. I will pray for you both, God bless.

No my BF is not Christian. And that's why I came to the forum and asked for help, I was sure God would not create a body that it would have to sin to prevent things! But I didn't know about the whole testicular cancer issue.

I also suspected he may have said that , because he didn't know what else to bring up to excuse himself for doing things he's not suppose to. But now more than ever he knows how strong I stand and nothing he says will make me change my mind about total abstinance.

Thanks you guys for your answers, they REALLY helped me!

there is your problem right there.

nothing he says will make me change my mind about total abstinance.

many people thought this and it didn't turn out that way.

Yeah, stay strong, hold your ground on this because its more serious then most people think it is. Lots of people will say that its nature and its ok but those are the people that don't read the bible or at least aren't keeping up with. Ahhh, or maybe they just don't care, either way its bad but try and talk to him about it and if its meant to be in Gods will then good, if it isn't, then good.
