Should masturbation be legal.

[Gabu]

It's none of the government's business what somebody does in private.

Glad to know that you all support wife-beating!

When did you stop beating your wife, Al?

First the obvious one-- do you believe that one can relieve stress from sexual pressure by committing a sexual act? I think it would have absolutely the opposite effect. If one is having sexual pressure, the worst thing for the person to do is to do anything sexual.

Sexual pressure stems from a desire to orgasm.  Masturbation makes you do so.  Hence, stress relieved; you no longer have that desire once you do.

[Gabu]

Masturbation does neither of these two things, as it is completely self-centered. Therefore, it is immoral.

What human act isn't self-centered?  Anything you do, you do because you think it will make you feel good, or at least will make you feel better than the alternatives you have.  Even the most altruistic acts are done because kind acts to others makes the doer feel good.  Given that masturbation hurts no one and has been medically shown to have numerous benefits (such as stress relief, decreased risk of prostate cancer, etc.), it seems to me that there are a rather lot of worse things that one could do.

I suppose since you cannot answer a simple question, pointing and laughing is as good a subterfuge as any.

Morality is for silly old people anyway.

Do you ever post anything remotely worthwhile or which actually contributes to the topic at hand, and which is not just an underhanded snipe from the sidelines?

Why do you even still post here?
