Masturbation is a gift of God. Sex is a gift of God to us. Sexual lust is not evil lust, it is God designed human nature. Evil lust is hurtful and harmful to humans. Masturbation is healthy. Masturbation is good. Masturbation is God designed. Masturbation is good for you. Masturbation is for everyone to enjoy.

1. I can Masturbate as long as I don't THINK Sexual Thoughts. I'm told that this can be achieved by some. Self-control is the key.<IMO sexual thoughts do not = sin. The Bible never states that having a sexual thought is sin. I think what has been stated on this list is that it is possible to masturbate without lusting. Sexual thought is not a synonym for lust.

> 4. Our youth should be encouraged to masturbate to alleviate the Sexual Pressures of Youthful Hormones. Celibacy is Old Fashioned.<The definition of celibacy in the Webster's Dictionary is: The state of being unmarried esp. that of a person under a vow not to marry. I don't believe any of us on this list are celibates including yourself nor are the vast majority of our youth because by definition a celibate is one who does not intend to be married. Maybe you meant to use the word virgin; in that case the word virgin means one who has never had sexual intercourse.
And surely you can't say that sexual intercourse can be used interchangeably with masturbation. I'm sorry if it seems like I'm splitting hairs, however it seems like you are misrepresenting the statements made here on the list by substituting words that have a distant similarity, but not at all the same meaning.
I respect your thoughts and have no doubt that you love God and are trying to follow His ways, I just thought it was important to clear up these things.In Christ,
Teri
