YOU need to stop masturbating

�Among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity" Ephesians 5:3

Masturbation is a sin. Period.
Not only that but there is scientific evidence that points to it being bad for you

Published in JAMA Psychiatry (May, 2014), this was the first brain-scan study on porn users. Researchers found several brain changes, and those changes correlated with the amount of porn was consumed. The subjects were moderate porn users, not classified as addicted. In this study, experts at Germany's Max Planck Institute found:

Higher hours per week/more years of porn viewing correlated with a reduction in grey matter in sections of the reward circuitry (striatum) involved in motivation and decision-making. Reduced grey matter in this reward-related region means fewer nerve connections. Fewer nerve connections here translates into sluggish reward activity, or a numbed pleasure response, often called desensitization. The researchers interpreted this as an indication of the effects of longer-term porn exposure.

The nerve connections between the reward circuit and prefrontal cortex worsened with increased porn watching. As the study explained, "Dysfunction of this circuitry has been related to inappropriate behavioral choices, such as drug seeking, regardless of the potential negative outcome." In short, this is evidence of an association between porn use and impaired impulse control. This may indicate hypofrontality.
The more porn used, the less reward activation when sexual images were flashed on the screen. A possible explanation is that heavy users eventually need more stimulation to fire up their reward circuitry. Desensitization, leading to tolerance, is common in all kinds of addictions. Said the study, "This is in line with the hypothesis that intense exposure to pornographic stimuli results in a downregulation of the natural neural response to sexual stimuli."

Simone K�hn continued - "We assume that subjects with a high porn consumption need increasing stimulation to receive the same amount of reward." K�hn says existing psychological, scientific literature suggests consumers of porn will seek material with novel and more extreme sex games. "That would fit perfectly the hypothesis that their reward systems need growing stimulation."

The above findings dismantle the two primary arguments put forth by porn addiction naysayers:

That porn addiction is simply "high sexual desire". Reality: The heaviest porn users had less response to sexual images, thus less " sexual desire."
That compulsive porn use is driven by "habituation", or becoming easily bored. Reality: Habituation is a temporary effect that doesn't involve measurable shrinkage of actual brain structures.

To sum up: More porn use correlated with less gray matter and reduced reward activity (in the dorsal striatum) when viewing sexual images. More porn use also correlated with weakened connections to the seat of our willpower, the frontal cortex.

Keep in mind that the results of this study are consistent with 90 recent brain studies done on internet and videogame addicts by addiction neuroscience experts. In all of these studies, the results demonstrate profound brain changes from overconsumption of internet stimuli.

Masturbation is essentially a selfish act of lust and by doing it you distance yourself from God.
If you masturbate and do not repent you will spend eternity in the lake of fire.

Study is dealing with watching porn, not masturbation. Your argument is invalid.

do you masturbate without porn?

[Fleepin]

do you masturbate without porn?

yep

[forcexdistance]

But is it wrong to masturbate to images of Jesus doing it with a donkey? Cause, that's the only thing that get's me off anymore.

Interesting study but ya, you never said anything about porn in your op and the whole study is watching porn, study doesnt even talk about whacking it

I think porn is definitely a big if not the biggest culprit in harmful effects of masturbation. I think there aren't many people who jerk off without watching porn.
It would be interesting to study the effects of masturbation on it's own but either way the Bible is pretty clear on whats right and wrong so it wouldn't surprise me if science found out that it is harmful in the future.

[Canadian2point0]

Masturbating comes in handy!

Easter comes once a year, how often do you?

When is the only time a guy can multi-task?
When he's watching porn, masturbating, and keeping an eye on the door at the same time...

What is the ultimate rejection?
When you're masturbating and your hand falls asleep.

"My family was poor when I was growing up. Luckily I was born a boy so I had something to play with..."

A father tells his son to stop jacking off. "You'll go blind if you do that too much!" he says. The son says "uh, I'm over here dad."

If moms have Mother's Day and dads have Father's Day what do single guys have?
Palm Sunday.

But sinning feels good.

[PancakeTragedy]

...you have an endless number of ways to fap...

...trillions of reasons to never be bored...

...an infinite amount of things you can create...

...already so many beautiful things to hold...

...and 7 billion characters to play along with...

And not enough time

...and this is me...

Yep. saw username, knew this was a veil for this:

Ignoring how stupid that statement is, I feel obligatory to post this just for ****s and giggles

Picture is beyond retarded, especially when you start with the premise of an infinite being....as though trillions+ of potential galaxies and creatures would somehow negate what is deemed beneficial by the infinite creator for each species. Rationality, not even once.

[AestheticNoz]

Didn't read. It always amazes me how people think they have the right to tell others what to do with their body. Why don't you just shut the fuk up!

[KahunaBF]

You can do all the things in that photo and still jerk off....it's about balance.

While your probably right. It is hard for males with average & above average Test levels to go more than a week or two without jacking off. As long as you repent after it is OK, YAHWEH knows we are mere mortals and give into our temptations.

In reality, porn does 10x more damage to your mental well being as opposed to masturbating by itself.

[SteadyWayfarer]

Lets get on our knees and serve Yahweh instead.

That picture is surprisingly accurate and efficient in describing how an infinite being isn't birthed by a virgin to later grow up and tell people not to masturbate.

The Christian premise for creation is universe as masturbation. The overflowing love of a single being.

A better interpretation might be:
Don't masturbate your penor off of your body in a drug-fiend porn rage because women have lives to live too. And you don't want to lose your penor now do ya?

[forcexdistance]

When God wrote the Bible he did not know about today's science showing that daily ejaculation reduces prostate cancer rates. Fact.

[IronRooster2]

It is hard for males with average & above average Test levels to go more than a week or two without jacking off.

Good lord, an entire week? "Don't masturbate" is the equivalent of saying "become a complete and total monster."

Mr.Garrison's racist lecture about the middle east might be racist, but he makes a great point about the necessity of jacking off to avoid being angry all the time.

It's Gods way of telling you you need to get a girlfriend.

Jakes on you - I'm spanking it raw as I read your thread - ha ha

Nah brah. see if you date you might have sex with her.. That is a sin before marriage...

Are there hot chicks in the lake of fire?
An eternity of fapping sounds good to me.

[dakensta]

When God was running the show, nobody got old enough to get prostate cancer before He killed them for eating shellfish, or whatever.

[E-Tank]

Ill keep that in mind when im finding out what happens to this slutty nurse in the vid im watching
