Assess The Benefits Of Masturbation

1602 Words7 Pages

“Pastor, I am a girl of 18 years old, and I do masturbate myself. I want to know; is it bad?” The purpose of this chapter is not to establish if masturbation is sinful or not, rather to explain why masturbation can be detrimental to our spiritual life and to encourage people to abandon the practice of it particularly Christians. Masturbation is the self-stimulation of the sex organs and other erogenous body parts for the purpose of pleasure, usually leading to or targeting org.asm. Simply put, it is having solo sex by touching yourself. Many people masturbate, and it has been described as the only form of sex with sexual zero risk physically but not spiritually. Granted, masturbation may bring temporary pleasure, but it often comes with the long term cost of addiction and other sexual problems. In the consideration that many people reading this book may not be Christians, I have created a separate section for the spiritually based points. If you are a Christian, I encourage you to take a moment to ask God to show you the truth concerning masturbation. …show more content…

1. Masturbation is addictive! I challenged anyone who is already into it that doubts masturbation is addictive to see how many weeks or months they can go without masturbating. We know now that sexual addictions are in fact self-induced addictions just as drugs. The chemicals our bodies release during sexual arousal create the same effect on the brain as

  • Theme Of The Intruder By Andre Dubus

    1011 Words  | 5 Pages

    Many humans struggle with the misconception that being tempted and having doubts about their faith are unacceptable. Moreover, when Kenneth is tempted to look at explicit images in a magazine, “he closed the magazine and raised his eyes to the ceiling, then closed them and said three Hail Mary’s” (Dubus 278). By putting the magazine down and deciding to pray, he conveys to the reader that it is not wrong to have doubts or face temptation . Kenneth’s devotion to his religion results in him having the instinctual reaction to pray in the face of temptation.

  • Comparing Paradise Lost And Sedgwick's Position

    1846 Words  | 8 Pages

    The Position Paper's final position is one of genuflection: prostrate, rump raised, ready to proffer thanks for something already received and also waiting receptively, patiently, for something else. If this deferential position is immediately recognizable as a whole-body symbol of gratitude, it is also simultaneously recognizable as an indication of one's readiness for punishment: my butt is extended as you commanded, or, I'm inviting you to inflict pain. It would be imprudent, perhaps even impudent, of the Position Paper to proceed any further without addressing the bared butt in the room: its very name, a tribute, of course, to one of literary theory's legendary masochists, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick. The Latin infinitive form of "tribute" is tribuere, "to give, distribute" (AHD).

  • Stephen King Addiction Vs Addiction

    871 Words  | 4 Pages

    On the surface, obsession and addiction can appear to be synonymous, but in reality, the two are distinctly different from one another. The reason the two are different is simple: an obsession is compulsion based on fear while addiction is compulsion based on desire/pleasure. [HOOK] Generally, obsession tends to be more mentally demanding and have irrational motives, such as believing that if you don’t brush your hair with three strokes on each side of your head all of your will hair fall out. On the other hand, an addiction gravitates more towards the physical and physiological desire for something or someone, as well as fantasizing about the substance, action, or person. This does not go without saying that a person cannot suffer from a combination

  • The Evolution Of Pornography

    A study was able to find abnormality in the frontal region of the brain which is associated with compulsivity due to patients’ inability to control their sexual behaviors. In a paper written by Dr.Eric Nestler, he described addiction as when “pleasure/reward pathways are hijacked by exogenous drugs such as cocaine or opioids, or by natural processes essential and inherent to survival such as food and sex”. The syndromes associated with these addictions are “compulsivity, emotional liability, impaired judgment, and impulsivity”. So basically having an addiction to heavy drugs is the same as an addiction to sexual behavior. There was a difference in people who casually watch porn and then those who don’t.
