We all know that everyone gets those urges. It's in you, it's only human. We can't control it easily. But here's the thing: sex is meant for reproduction. Do you know why it is pleasuring? Let me tell you. Animals in the wild don't really understand sex, thus the way they know to reproduce is to get a sexual urge, and they fulfill this urge by having sex with another animal. So obviously, the pleasuring sensation is part of our nature so we know to reproduce. When one decides to have sex for the reason of pleasure, this is going against the whole reason for the sensation. Pleasuring yourself sexually is like eating a pill with a nice flavor for the purpose of the tasty flavor. The pill is meant to fight illness, not to pleasure your taste buds!
And honestly, if someone says they "love" a person, thus they want to have sexual contact with that person, how is pleasuring each other "love"? Can't you show love through kind deeds? How are you loving the person when you're using them as your source of physical pleasure? People aren't like toys that you can just have such an intimate fun with. Love is shown through kind deeds and sacrifices for the person. It's understandable that a kiss is a symbol of love, but this can lead to something more intense which can become immoral and out of control, which in no way is "love."
So anyway, animals just live their life with their nature; they eat, sleep, reproduce. On the other hand, humankind has the power of intellect. We have the ability to understand the sexual impulse and how to control it or use it at the right time. If we don't, won't we be just as animals of the wild? If one continues to pleasure him/herself, it can get out of control like a drug or addiction, and take over their mind. This is just a possibility, but still something to be concerned about.
I'm sure some of you are wondering, "Then why is eating tasty food for pleasure, or playing video games for pleasure not wrong?" The answer is moderation. With moderation with these things, and if we conrol ourselves, it's fine. Stimulating the mind with games or soothing our taste buds are healthy if we can have moderation.
In conclusion, I'm not saying that its a sin to pleasure yourself sexually, I'm saying that it isn't the reason that we've been given these urges, and that with moderation and understanding, we can see that people shouldn't be seen as sexual icons, and that we won't be taking these pleasures with us when we die. If people balance their portions of sexual pleasure, it will help develop a cleaner mind. If people begin to understand the sexual impulse and learn to harness it, we will become more mature and less like non-intellectual animals. Sex is a big thing these days, actually it's always been a big thing. :P But if we concentrat a lttle less on it (and I don't mean just stop right now) and focus more on developing our qualities. I know that everyone does this already, but I'll say it anyway. :P
Finally, I want you all to know that I respect your opinions and will read everything. Even if you don't believe in anything I said, atleast consider it? :P The sexual impulse is understandable and the urges are alright, everything is your decision, I just want to explain what I thought.
Please note that I'm not trying to make anyone look stupid or trying to prove anyone wrong, I'm simply trying to share some of my knowledge. You don't have to prove me wrong with your reply, you can look at the positives of my thread too :D :D
Tell me what you thought of this :)
