    I know what you are trying to get me to say. I will just say that there are health advantages from frequent sex and health disadvantages for lack of sex and leave it at that. I will add that I had a health problem from my late teens until I was married because I did not masturbate. Frequent sexual activity after marriage remedied the problem but the key word here is frequent. Without frequent activity the problem returns. I detailed this in another thread which was deleted due to sexual content. Again you can google the harmful effects of not masturbating. Getting too explicit here is against the rules.

    As a side note, do you think He lived a sexless life?

    There are a lot of negative effects from not having sex. So for those who are married I’d suggest having it frequently. Contrary to what some may think, frequent sex does not diminish libido or function. It has the opposite effect that frequent porn use has. I’ll let you do your own google search to learn more.

    I think Internet forums are not the easiest places to have a good discussion. Putting your thoughts into a few sentences does not always allow your true intent and feelings to come across well

    Yes, but to equate the harmful health effects of porn to masturbation is like saying the high amount of milk fat in cake is harmful to your health.

    I was referring to physical effects. I did not say that there are not harmful spiritual effects. The post I was replying to was trying to make the case that masturbation should be avoided because of harmful health effects. My reply was to show that the referred to link was showing articles about the health effects of porn not masturbation. I am simple making a distinction between masturbation and because many people seem to think they are one and the same when they are not. Regular sex and masturbation do not have the same harmful effects on sexual response that the hyper stimulation of porn causes.

    I like hot and spicy foods. When I eat hot spicy food my scalp sweats profusely. I actually start to sweat before I actually eat the food. I like hot mustard. I like the rush I get when it burns up the back of my nose.

    I think my strengths are Church attendance, word of wisdom, scripture and gospel study, personal and family prayer, payment of tithes and offerings, magnifying my church callings. My weaknesses would be home teaching, Temple attendance, and family home evening.

    I am not advocating masturbation but in response to @wenglundin searching for information I can find no harmful health effects of masturbation. However the list of claimed health benefits is long. The reports of the harmful effects of porn don’t seem to apply to masturbation.

    To try to explain better what I said, porn viewing reduces ones ability to respond to sexual stimulus but frequent sex does not. If anything frequent sex makes one more responsive.
  11. BJ64
    I believe the whole porn addiction reduces sexual response has to do with the brain being trained to respond to that type of stimulation rather than normal stimulation. Making it so that a person can’t respond normally to normal stimulation. Having sex does not have to his same effect. In other words having sex does not train the mind to not respond to sexual stimulus. In my own relationship with my wife frequency boosts libido. It does not detract from it That was hard for me to say without being graphic.

    That link contains nothing about masturbation. People need to get over the idea that masturbation and porn are the same thing or that they always go together. Cake and ice cream go together but that doesn’t mean they always go together. The article was particularly about Internet porn. That has only existed for maybe a couple of decades. Masturbation has been going on for thousands of years. It cannot be inferred that what happens to the brain from viewing internet porn happens also from masturbation.

    I would not want to be a bishop alone with anyone in an office. All it would take is for a person to accuse you of something inappropriate and it’s your word against theirs. This is one reason missionaries go two by two not alone.

    Here is the quote in context. One of you, perhaps, has not fully understood until now. Perhaps your father did not talk to you. You may already have been guilty of tampering with these powers. You may even have developed a habit. What do you do then? First, I want you to know this. If you are struggling with this temptation and perhaps you have not quite been able to resist, the Lord still loves you. It is not anything so wicked nor is it a transgression so great that the Lord would reject you because of it, but it can quickly lead to that kind of transgression.

    That was a quote from Elder Packer

    I read your post and I think it’s very well written. I very much believe there is a big difference between art and porn. I also believe there is a big difference between true immodesty and perceived immodesty. You may not agree but to me a woman in a bikini and a man in a speedo is art not porn.

    That and the fact that it is the only mention of it.

    Here is another photo of men’s swimwear from the early 20th century.

    Have you ever listened in on a young women’s lesson on modesty?
  20. BJ64
    I guess her shoulders were more alluring than his girlfriend’s shoulders.

    Note that this suit shows as much or more of the male contour as a speedo. Yet this sort of form fitting suit was acceptable in 1900. Why are we so much more prudish about the male form today?
  22. BJ64
    This is the thinking that leads us to teach women that they are responsible for the unclean thoughts of men rather than teaching men that they are responsible for their own thoughts.
  23. BJ64
    Yes, and some males are stimulated by the sight of other males so maybe we should all keep our six packs covered while swimming. I also still think women gaze at guys.
  24. BJ64
    Over time men and women have worn less clothing while not swimming. T shirts and shorts are common for men and women which would have our ancestors crying immodesty yet I doubt many feel that way now days. Garments used to go to the wrist and ankles. The thought of seeing a calf or arm would have been scandalous. Joseph F Smith had a lot to say about the immodesty of his day. So did Brigham Young. I think that as far as skin coverage is concerned what is immodest is showing that which the cultural considers forbidden to show. Once the culture decides it’s not forbidden then showing it is no longer immodest.

    Females gaze as well.
