Masturbation: Temporary Sexual Pleasure With Many Dangers
Odds are that, if you read PervScan, you’re relatively fluent with sexual practices and their variants. Perhaps you even practice a few perversions yourself, and thus to talk about the simple pleasures — masturbation, the missionary position, etc — seems harmless, almost quaint. For this reason, it is sometimes helpful to recall how the other half lives. There are still great vacuums of ignorance in the collective understanding of sexual behavior. Take this article from the Nigerian Tribute titled “Masturbation: Temporary Sexual Pleasure With Many Dangers.” Dangers? Masturbation? Can those words legitimately be placed in the same sentence? Had this reporter read the classic study “Autoerotic Fatalities with Power Hydraulics?” What else could be dangerous about masturbation? Let’s see what the reporter has to say.
There is a secretive sexual practice common to both men and women, as well as young people, and it is known as masturbation… Though Dr. Adewale Oguntuase says adults also masturbate, but scientists have different opinions on its effect on health. Some say that masturbation is an act that must be resisted and that those already into it should find a way to stop it because it has harmful effects on the body, especially the brain…
The reporter quotes a lot of statistics about the percentage of people who wank, but he doesn’t yet reveal what those harmful effects are. Bear with him.
Does masturbation have any ill-effect on one’s life, sexual life, libido and most especially, one’s health? Going by submissions of medical experts, sexual coldness in women is far more common than lack of sex drive in men. Many women that practise masturbation develop the habit as a result of many factors, including peer influence.
Aha! Here is a terrible danger. Women who pleasure themselves become frigid. Setting aside the reporter’s own admission that frigidity “often arises from lack of normal sex instructions during the early years,” it’s not clear how masturbation leads to frigidity. A woman masturbates because she’s horny. How would that make her frigid? More likely it’s the reverse: a lack of sex obliges her to masturbate. That would make more sense. But the reporter has a comeback for that too.
Another health practitioner, Mr. Femi Adereti described masturbation as a secret act of sexual excitement which he said can be definitely harmful, especially when carried to excess. “Often the individual tends to become secretive, living in a kind of dream world where fantasy plays a dominant part. Many highly nervous older women freely admit that most of their troubles stem from some form of self-stimulation, indulged in for over a long period of time.”
If women become “frigid” through masturbation, the reporter implies, it is because they come to prefer their fantasy life to their real one. This makes them “nervous.” Common sense, though, would say the opposite: lack of sexual release makes a person more “nervous” than masturbation. And do you note how all these dangers seem to affect women moreso than men? It makes you wonder about the reporter’s viewpoint here.
And if all this talk of nervousness doesn’t convince you, there is the obligatory religious bullshit.
From a religious point of view, Pastor Yemi Aduloju, an Ibadan-based man of God, in one of his sermons, submitted that masturbation is a sexual sin with dangers to health and most especially to one’s spiritual life. According to him, masturbation opens one to sickness and diseases as spelt out in biblical passages like Proverb 6:32 - 33. Pastor Aduloju said: “Sexual sins like masturbation bring down great men and has also brought down great destiny in life. It makes God turn His back on you, even immediately you commence the dirty, unholy, sexual act with temporary pleasures.”
“Sexual sins like masturbation bring down great men” — somehow Bill Clinton comes to mind, but he was brought down by a blowjob, not a handjob. And if “God turns His back” on the masturbator, well, probably most wankers can live with that. After all, God is omniscient too. Even if he turns his back, he knows that you wank. It makes you wonder if “turning his back” might even be a euphemism for offering his ass. Maybe that’s how all this nonsense about virgin births got started.
If all this isn’t silly enough, the anti-masturbation screed finishes with a barrage of bewilderingly unproven assertions.
Other dangers attached to masturbation sexes include inability to pull out of the act. It has even been documented to cause more deaths among boys in Europe than any plaque or war. Masturbation also results in total loss of sexual feelings and desire due to lack of sensation when it is time to actually engage in legitimate sexual intercourse. Quick, early or premature ejaculation is also one of the rewards of regular masturbation. In girls, the breast development is arrested or retarded and the individual also stands the risk of experiencing spinal irritation resulting from epilepsy as a result of loss of seminal fluid in a male.
Masturbation causes more deaths than any plague or war? It retards breast development? It results in an epilepsy-inducing “spinal irritation” because somehow seminal fluid has been lost (from where, the bone marrow of the spinal column?)? When you read this garbage, you realize that the reporter is not just against masturbation. He’s against sanity. Jesus. The fact that this is what passes for journalism somewhere in the world may be more perverse than any deviant sex act ever elucidated on PervScan.
Once again your calm, logical insight is a welcome counterpoint to more insane, laughable “scientific” proof that sex is bad.
Sex & masturbation is fun, amazing and perfectly healthy. It’s the human mind that seems to fuck everything up. Once again, thanks to religion, we are supposed to feel guilty about things that are “sinful”. Isn’t masturbating better for a woman than running out and having a one night stand just because she’s horny? I think relgion is just a tool to control people. But I digress.
thanks again for another brilliant blog.
It’s kind of terrifying isn’t it? Makes you angry too, because these sorts of basic untruths in sexual health reporting are exactly what lead to hideous superstitions like the virgin cure, which are directly responsible for the rampaging spread of HIV/AIDS in Africa.
Actually this is a good example of what happens when American foriegn aid gets diverted into supporting religous groups. Africans are contracting and dying of Aids in numbers unheard of in other parts of the world, and their religous leaders are telling them things like this. Put it together with the “plot by the West to eliminate the black man through distribution of condoms” and the real result of Bush foriegn policy becomes apparent. Allowing “Christian” groups to control foriegn aid funding is an obscenity. Western pre-literates teaching native African pre-literates equals “journalism” like this.
This is insane on a “Landover Baptist” level, but at least that is just a parody… to think that someone really believes this garbage enough to feel the need to write it down and share it… frightening. Interesting thought… how is it that people like this are the ones who manage to multiply the most? Nothing is more frustrating than waiting in line someplace behind one of these people with their 16 children all in tow.
THAT’S A LIE….we all know the only thing masterbation causes is blindness.
I am sure that there are plenty of people that have masturbated, in private, and moderation and nothing happened to them. It’s your overall social life, and how often you do it in respect to other things in your life, that’s really important! The thing with the seminal fluid loss affecting the spine, and causing epilepsy is ginormous bullshit!!! Who, exactly wrote all this? How come more scientists did not document the dangers of masturbation lately, and why just now? This is crazy!
I,m a christian but i,m more taken up by Porn and masturbation please i need your help.
If you are so bothered by it, Joseph, try to cut down on it. Instead of doing it like several times a day, in sevaral days of the week, try doing it like anywhere between one to three times during both weekend days. If you are married, substitute marital relations, for, well, self-relations. I’m sorry to hear that you are bummed out by this, dude!
