I have not read all the way through this thread, only the first and thelast. I come here because I?m an inactive Mormon currently investigating wondering if I want to renew my membership. I want to thank you ProudArmyMom2 for your testimony, without it I think I would have to say the heck with the Mormon church.

Why do we think sex is some kind of evil thing that can only be shamefully enjoyed? It all started in the Garden of Eden when Adam and Eve took of the forbidden fruit and saw that they were naked and were ashamed. I never could understand that. We are the only animals on this earth ashamed of our nakedness. These are questions I have asked myself for many years. It is true, just like Adam and Eve – I too am ashamed of my nakedness, but this is not good and I?m not proud of it. Jesus said we must be like children to enter the kingdom of heaven and children are not ashamed of their nakedness. The bible teaches us that we have inherited Adam and Eve?s sin, could this be our shamefulness for our bodies that God created and that we should be thankful for? Should we curse God that these bodies should feel pleasure? From the beginning of time religion has agreed with us that we should be ashamed, adding to our shame guilt and condemnation. If you study the dark ages, it gets REAL scary. Devices of torture were placed on our children to protect them from our imagined sin.
Seven years ago I woke up and asked myself ?who condemned me?? and discovered it was me myself and from then on it was a journey. You know I used to ?need? to masturbate all the time until I discovered it wasn?t a sin, and guess what, now I don?t have to masturbate anymore. I guess its like my mom has said, if you tell a child they can?t do something, all of a sudden they feel they have to. But I do masturbate because, believe it or not, its actually good for you. I?m 47 years old, actually young looking and am in excellent health. My doctor says to keep doing whatever it is I do because if more people were like me doctors would be out of business.
I leave you this, the truth shall set you free, and even the Mormon missionaries teach that Satan would make us perfect through control but Jesus bought us freedom. Freedom not to sin but to become the perfection God had made. Perfect is an ever growing never ending process and if you should be ashamed of what God has made then you need to bring that before your creator and it is personal between you and your creator. No two people are alike and we should not be square pegs trying to fit into a round hole. If the Mormon church wishes to take from me my freedom and bind me up into its interpretation of my personal perfection then it is not the true church of God but has let the deceit of Satan come in who would control and not let us be free.
If the church was always right in making us feel guilty for our nakedness, then what did we need the restoration of the Mormon church for or is to bring back the dark ages ?God forbid.?

Footnote: I wasn?t paying attention and didn?t realize that this was a women?s forum when I posted, but no one objected and the post is still there as of 09/14/08. I thought they would have taken it down seeing I was male posting in a women?s forum, that was the reason I posted it in a web page.

My wife has found a new job and is much happier.

I guess my wife is lucky. Here is a woman who might loose her life:

Islam isn’t much different from Christianity, they both believe in Jesus, we must remind them to go back and reread the teachings of Jesus, obviously they misread something

Anti Erection Device

Anti Erection Device Put on Small Boys



The spermatic truss, patented in 1876, was designed to make erections impossible by binding the genitalia down. 21 years later, the designer changed the truss a bit, making erections possible. The only downside? An erection would now drive the genitalia against painful spikes.

Excerpt from United States patent number 745264, filed on May 29, 1903 by Albert V. Todd. It describes a device designed to prevent masturbation by inflicting electric shocks upon the perpetrator, by ringing an alarm bell, and through spikes at the inner edge of the tube into which the penis is inserted.

Conclusion: A simple rule to follow. If it feels good, it must be good and if it hurts it must be bad and sin is when you hurt somebody, so don?t sin, don?t hurt anybody.

For example: Does he tell you he loves you when he is hitting you.

Your Guide to Masturbation

Masturbation is the self-stimulation of the genitals to achieve sexual arousal and pleasure, usually to the point of orgasm (sexual climax). It is commonly done by touching, stroking or massaging the penis or clitoris until an orgasm is achieved. Some women also use stimulation of the vagina to masturbate or use “sex toys,” such as a vibrator.

Who Masturbates?

Just about everybody. Masturbation is a very common behavior, even among people who have sexual relations with a partner. In one national study, 95% of males and 89% of females reported that they have masturbated. Masturbation is the first sexual act experienced by most males and females. In young children, masturbation is a normal part of the growing child’s exploration of his or her body. Most people continue to masturbate in adulthood, and many do so throughout their lives.

Why Do People Masturbate?

In addition to feeling good, masturbation is a good way of relieving the sexual tension that can build up over time, especially for people without partners or whose partners are not willing or available for sex. Masturbation also is a safe sexual alternative for people who wish to avoid pregnancy and the dangers of sexually transmitted diseases. It also is necessary when a man must give a semen sample for infertility testing or for sperm donation. When sexual dysfunction is present in an adult, masturbation may be prescribed by a sex therapist to allow a person to experience an orgasm (often in women) or to delay its arrival (often in men).

Is Masturbation Normal?

While it once was regarded as a perversion and a sign of a mental problem, masturbation now is regarded as a normal, healthy sexual activity that is pleasant, fulfilling, acceptable and safe. It is a good way to experience sexual pleasure and can be done throughout life.

Masturbation is only considered a problem when it inhibits sexual activity with a partner, is done in public, or causes significant distress to the person. It may cause distress if it is done compulsively and/or interferes with daily life and activities.

Is Masturbation Harmful?

In general, the medical community considers masturbation to be a natural and harmless expression of sexuality for both men and women. It does not cause any physical injury or harm to the body, and can be performed in moderation throughout a person’s lifetime as a part of normal sexual behavior. Some cultures and religions oppose the use of masturbation or even label it as sinful. This can lead to guilt or shame about the behavior.

Some experts suggest that masturbation can actually improve sexual health and relationships. By exploring your own body through masturbation, you can determine what is erotically pleasing to you and can share this with your partner. Some partners use mutual masturbation to discover techniques for a more satisfying sexual relationship and to add to their mutual intimacy.
