I was agreeing with what they were saying - that masturbation is very much preferable to casual sex with people you don’t know well - much safer and much less likely to harm anyone. Normally I’d just have repped them but I had already repped them recently, hence ’’PRSOM’’.

Agreed. Casual sex has the risk of pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases etc so masturbation is safer.

It’s safer but addictive and devalues sex. Like I said earlier. Ppl that masturbate may be virgins physically but technically they’re having sex with themselves so they’re not. Scary.

Nothing scary about masturbation. I don't usually watch porn while doing it but sometimes I do
There are things that can harm one’s mental health, that are often thought of in the same sphere of life as masturbation - it is very possible to develop a porn addiction. But it’s also very possible to masturbate regularly in a healthy way, without using porn at all.
Masturbation goes against some religious teachings. In that sense it could be seen to harm one’s spiritual health. But what is spiritual health, exactly? I think it’s more spiritually healthy to have a set of well-reasoned moral rules that you have actively chosen for yourself, than to try to blindly, arbitrarily follow what’s written in an ancient book. If a person resolves for themselves ’’Masturbation harms me in this clear and specific way, so I’m going to choose not to do it’’ - then I say more power to them: they have made a clear, respectable personal choice. In that sense, I think the process of masturbating and feeling religiously guilty about it and beginning to question the religious beliefs that one may have inherited is very constructive! It drives the person forward towards a self-made system of morality that either accepts masturbation, or decides against it for better reasons. (Even then, I’m not sure I’d understand if they classed it as ’’immoral’’. If a person continues doing something that they think harms them, like smoking, for example, we call it reckless, ignorant, perhaps cognitively dissonant - but immoral? I don’t see it.)
Anyway, if you’d like to elaborate on how you think masturbation harms one’s mental and spiritual health, I’d love to hear it.

If you’re not a “religious” person you can’t really speak about how masturbating affects spiritual health
Did you do what I said? Also it’s bad because it’s lustful. I’m looking from a Christian perspective
not everyone is a christian or religious. masturbation might be wrong to you personally, doesnt mean others arent allowed to enjoy it, and it doesnt make it immoral.
Neither is fine. Don’t get it twisted or put words in my mouth please.
What is immoral about masturbation? It is perfectly moral. Also there's no way it harms religious health or spiritual health, in fact it prevents one night stands or even rape in some cases. Not all of us have boyfriends or girlfriends.

I never said that. I’m talking from my perspective don’t get it twisted. Ok but it’s my opinion and not my life like I said
