Hi folks...
I have a question to ask....I have a friend....and we're close....so we discuss on everything....when it came to masturbation.....I said that it's wrong and it'll hurt our body....but he refuses it....he even showed me proof that masturbating thrice a week will reduce your risk of getting some type of cancer....but as far as I've read...it reduces the "life liquid" in guys and that they'll suffer a lot after marriage....so please can you tell me which of us is correct....'cause he does that twice every week and I don't want him to suffer after marriage....

Please forgive me if some of the rather straight forward terminology I use is displeasing.

From what I've gathered, it's said that regular ejaculation can reduce the chances of prostate cancer. However, that does not justify that. I would imagine God designed the male body so that said ejaculations reduce the chances of that cancer, but we're only supposed to have that sexual activity inside of marriage (excluding wet dreams, which we guys don't have control over although technically that's not "sexual activity").

I'm not sure what you mean by "life liquid." There's something called erectile dysfunction (ED) where a man can't get an erection. Excessive masturbation can cause that. That might possibly be a problem for him in marriage.

The real damage to your friend and any man would be in the mental and spiritual realms. That's because he's probably doing this out of lust. Is he looking at porn while doing this, etc.? If so, the real problem lies in that. I wouldn't doubt if he's doing this out of lust, which is something tons of men struggle with.

Also, please don't use swear words on this forum. It's a Christian message board and could upset some.

Masturbation in and of itself will not 'hurt' the body, but it can damage the spirit. I'm also not sure what 'life liquid' is but based off the usage it sounds like someone doesn't know what they're talking about. The only potential problems masturbation could cause to a marriage is if the person becomes so addicted that they continue it into their marriage. Its not likely to do any physical damage.
Also, most, though maybe not all, masturbation involves porn. Porn is wrong, and has to potential to ruin a life.. and a marriage. So really ultimately, if he's a Christian, then he will suffer spiritually. If he's not a Christian, then really it doesn't matter.

Ya know, I would talk to God about this, maybe your M.D. or even a spiritual adviser. What I have learned in college is that it is healthy to masturbate on occasion and can actually improve your sex life. I do not see how masturbation has to involve porn. It is like anything else, as long as it is not too much. Do you think that God would put that on your body for you not to discover how it works? I think we all know what happen if there is excessive build up in there, not a pleasant feeling...from what men say.

We are human, not robots. Its natural.

so.........it's not wrong to do that?

I do not think its wrong either. I think its natural to explore our bodies. I have never felt wrong or guilty just relieved. Human, not robots. I concur.

Firstly i did not say it 'has' to involved porn, what i actually said was it most commonly does in this day and age.
And 'being natural' does not automatically make something ok. And do i think God would put something on my body and not discover how it works? That is one of the weakest arguments i've ever heard.
