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 :)

I'm saying it's WRONG, it's a mistake that people are making and should learn to balance, that doesn't mean it's a sin... If someone is mking a mistake, does it have to be a sin? It can become sinful if it's gets too intense, but it's something that everyone has to learn, and it's a part of life and maturing.

So if stuffing your intestines with food for pleasure is all right in moderation, isn't sex solely for pleasure also okay if it's done in moderation?

Why can't it be both? If I love my girlfriend, and she loves me back, of course we're going to show love through kind deeds. But, when it comes down to it, why can't we fool around?

Some view sex as the ultimate form of love. I mean, ya you can do nice things for people and enjoy people's company, but sex isn't just about getting laid as some people do. It can viewed as the most intimate act with someone. It gives you pleasure, and there are other reasons, but to say it isn't love is just stupid.

I think a glutton is much worst than a sexual deviant. I think you just want people to get laid less so you feel better about your own lack of sexual conquest. I'm very sexually active, practice safe sex and am happy. I'm not going to take advice from somebody who is so obviously frustrated sexually.

err just about all human desires, and all human drive, is connected to thier basic instincts.

And we as animals we do whatever we can to cover those needs. It is nature, it is the buildingblocks of all life.

Only through the invention of society are we met with such ideas as "holding back" and that is for different reasons, ie. church sanctions, and laws.

Those are unnatural, altho they may benefit the creation and maintenance of society.

Now considering that the population of the western world is declining (not all woman gets the 2,3 children to uphold todays numbers) So generally we do NOT need to hold back per say.

Where food and land is limited, it is a good way of making ballance, but in the west?

No, no, no. That is the absolute worst advice you can give a man.

If you slow down and take long breaks in between your sexual encounters, you run the very dangerous and very real risk of "backing up", which can lead to a... shall we say, lackluster performance the next time you do get your extracirricular swerve on.

Do it often.

Welcome to evolutionary psychology. Desires such as sexual pleasure and hunger may be "fradulent" to some extent but just because they are natural does not necessarily mean that they are wrong. Have a look at this if you're interested. http://www.psych.ucsb.edu/research/cep/primer.html

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.

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.

No, as a matter of fact, I can't. I love chocolate milk; I just can't get enough of that stuff.

But this is about discussing moral principles and not the intensity of immoral acts, or mistakes. My question was simple. Is having sex for pleasure in moderation wrong? Or is it just excessive sex that is wrong?

Repressing sexual urges is one of the most damaging things a human can do to themselves. Sex and self pleasuring releases a rush of endorphins, amongst other chemicals, which give you that good warm buzz at the back of your head. Mental health is akin to nutritional health - you need to keep a balance in order to stay healthy. Denying yourself of certain aspects is bad.....mmmkay?

Welcome to evolutionary psychology. Desires such as sexual pleasure and hunger may be "fradulent" to some extent but just because they are natural does not necessarily mean that they are wrong. Have a look at this if you're interested. http://www.psych.ucsb.edu/research/cep/primer.htmldomatron23
I didn't say that the desires are wrong, I'm saying the intimate actions towards those desires are wrong. :)

Just because I'm young doesn't mean I can't share knowledge with those older than me. I definately understand the things that I'm talking about through experience, listening to others, etc.

So could you explain the meaning of your thread title then?


I'm saying it's WRONG, it's a mistake that people are making and should learn to balance, that doesn't mean it's a sin... If someone is mking a mistake, does it have to be a sin? It can become sinful if it's gets too intense, but it's something that everyone has to learn, and it's a part of life and maturing.

Ah, right. I misinterpreted what you meant by wrong.

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."

Immoral? I think not, in fact I think quite the opposite is true. When you are being intimate with someone, the idea is not to pleasure yourself, it's to pleasure your partner, which I think is simply amazing. The fact that you can give someone that, I think is one of the most powerful symbols of affection. And I'm not alone on this, believe it or not, many consider physical attraction a third of what makes love, and physical interaction another third, leaving only one third for intellect. And I actually read that on a pamphlet that my church handed to me.

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.

This idea that self pleasing is wrong, or immoral is a bad one, and it leads to some pretty bad feelings. Someone should not have to feel guilt, or dirty, for doing what their natural instincts are telling them to do. You are right that we are more intellectial, which I think means we should realize like I said in my first paragraph that the power to give someone that is even greater, then anything anyone could say is wrong about sexualness.

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 control ourselves, it's fine. Stimulating the mind with games or soothing our taste buds are healthy if we can have moderation.

It is a medical fact that sexualness is healthy, and sexual pleasure is not WRONG, by any means.

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.

I agree that people should not be seen as sexual icons, but honestly, if they make themselves out to be, it is no one's fault but their own. And what exactly do you mean 'cleaner', there is nothing dirty about sex, that's the wrong idea. And just so you know, many animals live a lot better than we do, there are plenty of things that humans are responsible for that have nothing to do with sex. War, for example, is completely ludicrous. We kill for no reason, when an animal kills it's to survive and to survive alone.

Tell me what you thought of this :)

amirbrandon

Well, I disagree with you in a lot of aspecs, so I'm going to break them down one by one. And I'll do this in red, inside your post.

Edit: That being said, you put up a good arguement, and in no way did I mean any disrespect, I just simply disagree.

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!

Except it doesn't actually satisfy your hunger. People have sexual desires, and seeing as how we're living longer and healthier people are going to need to satisfy them even if they aren't reproducing.

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."

amirbrandon

Doing kind deeds though is something you can do with anyone though. Sex is far more personal than that.

Also, I don't see how kissing is exempt from this logic but sex isn't. Kissing is usually just to satisfy sexual pleasure too, but somehow it's okay?

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?

amirbrandon

Ironically, this is just like an advertisement campaign for a condom company. :D

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.

amirbrandon

Everything needs to be in moderation, this is no different.

Fair enough. Though I very much respect your opinionated views, let me assure you that most people here will not agree. When you get down to the nitty gritty, there are very few things in life that stay interesting throughout your existence. Sex is one of them. I for one do not want to live a life that lacks interesting things.

Why can't it be both? If I love my girlfriend, and she loves me back, of course we're going to show love through kind deeds. But, when it comes down to it, why can't we fool around?

*cough* moderation *cough* But why by misusing the impulse for reproduction? :P remember the pill analogy I made :D

And it was a good analogy. However, what you're saying is to ignore one of our most basic impulses. Try this, instead of saying, ignore your sexual impulses, swap it with any other basic human impulse. Fear, hunger, fight or flight response, curiosity, or anything, and see how silly it sounds.

[QUOTE="amirbrandon"][QUOTE="Boba_Fett_3710"] I think a glutton is much worst than a sexual deviant. I think you just want people to get laid less so you feel better about your own lack of sexual conquest. I'm very sexually active, practice safe sex and am happy. I'm not going to take advice from somebody who is so obviously frustrated sexually.septemberluc

Let me tell you why you being 15 is WRONG. You're 15, you (most likely) have not experienced anything close to Love or perhaps even intimate relations with another human being. It is absurd to believe your argument when you really haven't experienced anything, but still render judgment

I agree with you half-way. People having sex, as in stick it in, orgasm as quick as possible, and pull it out...it's hardly a show of love, and it's just a misuse. I will disagree that sex for pleasure is wrong, and that the odd 'good deed" here or there is the only alternative to show your love. There's such an act called foreplay, that takes place before sex(at least, for couples who aren't in it for quickies and for making babies, i'd imagine). From what I've heard, it's pretty awesome, and a good amount of it doesn't deal with a couple's reproductive organs. Imagine that.

No offence, but no-one's going to take advice on sex from a 15 year old.
