Masturbation one of those acts that remain powerful. Some persons have triumphed ,some are deeply struggling while some remain defeated seeing it as a norm . Well who am I to judge the latter when people still find it convincing to tag it a sinful act with only this Bible quotation (Genesis 38) to their rescue., where as some claim it remains the best way to ease tension, depression and most importantly to abstain from adultery and fornication which are the true evil.
To best buttress this matter I have to categorise this two schools of thought.
*Category A are for persons who claim it's a sinful act while Category B are those who see it as nature's call. I personally would prefer staying in between, you might ask why. Well I agree with both groups, #categoryA stand strongly on the Bible ,this doesn't sounds convincing to some persons who claim the bible don't have proper records about this act infact it's totally silent on this issue . Maybe our forefathers never indulge in such act making us a genus...haha(on a lighter note) . The word "masturbate" is to stimulate oneself #sexually, especially by use of one’s hand, sometimes with a partner. The word #sexually indicates it's another form of sex. If masturbation is done alone and accompanied by lust, then it is a sin,
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. So said the holy book (1 Corinthians 6:19-20 ).
#categoryB. Yeah it's a natural call especially when you arrive a matured age. The truth remains that (am no Doctor) at this stage in growth the body tends to produce sperms and if not in use it has the ability to reabsorb the sperms early produced waiting for another complete cycle. As to whether their claims is true or false, we have #Google to our rescue. But mind you in as much as their claims sounds real so is the side effects.
As for my brothers struggling with it, never relent it's possible to overcome. One may ask what remains the best way out, "get involved with activities never find yourself feeling lonely.
God is in control of our lives because He created us. We as humans should control our inventions (internet) rather than it controlling our lives. Let's stop #pronograph it's a precursor to Masturbation. Let's be wise #peace.
