I practice this "no release till after the workout" thing as well, much like simple sugars after lifting heavy weights in the gym. But I do like having a cookie now and again; just like I like my mid afternoon tug every once and a while. Moderation is the name of the game.
To add to this, I recently learned it's completely ok to pray for performance. Our Father WANTS us to have an incredible sex life. I don't think that's talked about enough in church. My wife and I were stoked to learn this.MedicalMind;558784 said:Really enjoyed the video. Probably worth mentioning that in Genesis 38 it discusses a man God struck dead for "spilling his seed on the ground." BUT, this was not because he was masturbating but rather because he was purposefully trying to avoid providing a kid to the wife of his brother who died...which was his duty under the Jewish law. If someone really wanted to delve into religious issues of masturbation, I think Jesus' teachings about lust are more relevant to masturbation and adult entertainment (Matt 5:28).
I appreciate that you speak of the value of discipline and controlling it rather than letting it control you. In the end, determining your own conviction and following it is what matters, not ill-placed religious guilt.
Wonder how often do women masturbate?
Does age matters for them..like from 15 to 40 or something?? maybe more?
