"The Bible clearly states that any sexual act outside of marriage is wrong"
So if I get married, can I then masturbate?

Of course not, you deluded sinner. Because having lustful desires is clearly committing adultry, and you can't masturbate without lust, according to this beautiful example of Darwin's truth.

And to anyone not quite getting why she felt the need to mention she's "not a witch", see this.

Honestly, with all the dumb **** the Tea-Party candidates say, i'm surprised the entirety of the US hasn't risen up in bloody rebellion and crushed them all. Instead they actually have a chance at office.

Quote:This makes for an interesting and very important moral problem:
Say, you and your wife are separated for some reason. Business travel, visiting the in-laws alone, whatever.
What if you masturbate, thinking of your wife? (Or of your husband - we don't want to be sexist here)
You're doing it wrong anyway and you'll burn in hell for that.
I never understood some religions' obsession with sex. Is that certain-part-insertion really THAT soul breaking, character changing or whatever? Does it matter that much where do you put it and whether you have the document that "allows" you to do so or not?

Doomforge, the reason that religions are obsessed with sex is fairly obvious. It could be argued that moral frameworks are concerned with sex because sex is a vector for disease and inter/intracommunity violence. That might be true, but religions (well powerful religious institutions) are concerned about sex for another reason. Sex is a point of leverage over human thought and action - control sex and you control people. Money is power, true, but sex is power even more so. Control sex and you control people. Control people and you control money. Control money and you control everything.
I still don't see the point of this. If you tell people not to masturbate cause it's EVILLLL and they obey, what kind of power you gain? The power of being obeyed? Well, why not to order them to give your money to you instead of creating some useless rule of no significance..

Because humans are slaves to their biochemistry. Every human has a biochemical need to reproduce. So when you are able to tell humans that it is wrong to satisfy those biochemical needs in certain ways, and when you are able to demand penance from people who are too weak to obey, then you control people and you control wealth. How do you think the Catholic Church was able to amass such a fortune? The threat of eternal damnation, of course, is a powerful motivator to give up your earthly possessions.

They have a chance because the alternative isn't any better.

I figured that when it gets to a point that you're ready to stop masturbating for the cause, they've got you by the balls. I guess you can't get that kind of devotion without specifically asking for it.
