Most bible idolaters (Protestants) will cherry pick to say that masturbation is "ok" and not forbidden, but it is extremely clear that it is forbidden implicitly and rationally too.
Create appology of anti-masturbation here ?

smh, I'm a Bible-believer and I recognize the clear sin of masturbation. It's obvious that it falls under lust, appearance of evil, not being overcome by anything, etc. and I rationally see its wrong too. Sorry that you had to add a bunch of vain tradition just to see that.
It’s funny how non Protestants seem to think that they’re experts on the denomination. We agree that masturbation is bad as well. Stop trying to demonize us because you disagree with us
Occasionally in the nofap thread people show up saying that only porn is evil and masturbation is OK on its own. It's important to dispel that. Masturbation is as bad as porn, if not worse.
Which prots do that?
I am 75% convinced this is what He was getting at. Don't sin with your eyes and look at a woman lustfully, and don't sin with your right hand [by….]
Porn is what kills you from a neuro-biological PoV. You can have a healthy life MOing all the time instead of making children. You can get addicted to porn, but you can't to just masturbation without external arousal.
From a Christian PoV, it's a different story of course. Sex without making babies is a sin.
No that’s pretty unhealthy too. Also pornography is a relative term. All it is is lusting after an image, this existed in the ancient world too and is condemned in holy scripture. Since when did Jewish science convince the world that mastrubation is healthy? This isn’t me trying to shame anyone btw, but I don’t need science to tell me that 2+2 equals 4. The ancients didn’t either. Mastrubation is absolutely detrimental to ones state of mind and body. It’s a passion. An addiction. It’s lusting after images that aren’t there. Maybe it’s “healthy” in an upside down world where feminism has destroyed the prospect of marriage. Not even in that world I’d argue. Going monk (not literally necessarily, but cutting out all the garbage) is difficult but highly transformative. How do you think all these monks live to 100 and beyond?
The imaginary cariacture ones that they need to continually blame for the current state of Christianity in the west instead of searching inward to first cast out their own beams.
Its easier to point a finger instead of looking in a mirror.
Masturbation and Pornography are obviously sinful and evil, but those images are like early D.A.R.E. tier propaganda that exaggerates the effects so much, that when people don't experience such things, they fall into such sin due to starting to question and doubt authority.
People like him.
So…he disproved nothing and just went “C’maan!” on us; truly a great theologian.
It's a joke, newfriend.
all the evangelical friends I have would disagree with you
Who said those people were Protestants?
Well they are protesting against the Church's official teaching. It's only fair to call them protestants.
Why?
stop masturbating
God approves of masturbation. He made us to do so.
Mods PLEASE ban this jackweed
STOP SPILLING SEED
Masturbation is a terribly corrupting evil that afflicts the young in particular. That said I'm not so sure it makes people experience the symptoms of ebola and cause them to die before they can even post of halfcuck.
We're well beyond telling people to have temperance over their vulgar lusts as pur response to this crisis. We need to tell people not just what not to do, but also what to do: go outside and hang out with physical people, and get married.
Masturbating is gay, youre literally handling a dudes bepis. Case closed
He's saying they're whores.
Helping your fellow man with sexual relief would help him out. If you don't fall in love with them, it's not gay.
