You couldn't masturbate over them, or orgasm at the thought of them...I have no problem with masturbation I just find that masturbating over someone I like is dirty, or tarnishing the image I have of them and its hard or impossible for me to get off on it. Anyone else?

Not to offend anyone of a Judeo-Christian faith, but it's because those religions have inculcated into our genes that masturbation, and sex in general, is "dirty". Luckily for me, I wasn't raised that way. And I'm not sayin the Judeo-Christian way is the wrong way to raise a child, but I do think their view on sexuality is wrong. Look at the abstinence only programs. Those are TOTAL failures. But I went off on a tangent

It always saddens me when people don't understand the Bible. It was the church in the Middle Ages that decided sex was dirty. Sex is not. It is according to the Bible a gift from God. It is true that the Bible strongly encourages that people in a marriage be truthful with one another. Adultery is a sin. But adultery in the Bible was having sex outside of marriage without the permision of your spouse. This is a far cry from what most people think that adultery is.
The JudeoChristian does encourage marriage as being ordained by God. But in Bibilical times, men had several wives. King David had 300 wives and his son Solomon had 1000 wives. Suffice it to say they were very busy :excl:
But the fundamentalists have controlled beliefs about sex in the Protestant wing of Christianity for a while. Not all Christians are fundamentalists.

I'll step in as a Christian myself (well, not practicing, but I know enough).
A gift from god, maybe, but for a married man and a married woman. It is to reproduce. Do you realize that probably 90% of the sex in the world is either premarital, gay or lesbian? That would mean 90% of the world's population is commiting a grave sin. I don't agree with my own religion on that part. Why restrict sexuality? It dawned on me that Christianity doesn't seem to fully fit. Why is it that other religions are content with you Praying (forcefully or otherwise) and being good people, while Christianity it seems completely devoted to praising God, Jesus, The saints (if you are Catholic) and it has all these loop hole.
God: "I love you unconditionally...........................unless you do all these things:
7 deadly Sins
Ten Commandments
If you are Gay
BLAH BLAH BLAH"
Anyone find that hypocritical? I'M CHRISTIAN and I find that a bunch of BS. I believe in the fundimentals of my religion, but not all the "Don't do this, Don't Do that" crap.
I'm way off tangent, but yeah, I just had to speak up.
