both a man and a woman better understand
their own sexuality. If you can learn to lie back and enjoy
it and really pay attention to the pleasure it gives
your body - no one knows better than you what gives you
maximum pleasure - you can share that
knowledge with a partner and have more mutually fulfilling
sexual pleasure sharing. The self-awareness
gained from masturbation makes it a central feature of many
sex therapy programs.
Evolution may have even designed us to be masturbators.
Notice when you are standing where your hand
falls if you hang it in front of you. Apes do it, dogs and
cats do it, elephants do it and even porcupines have
been observed doing it, probably very carefully. One reason
we may be so programmed, paradoxically, is
to increase our odds of producing offspring. Older sperm can
lose their ability to swim well. A good
masturbatory flush guarantees fresh, robust sperm for
mating.
Storing seminal fluids for long periods can also cause
prostate congestion, which in turn can lead to urinary
and ejaculatory pain. Regular ejaculations, either through
masturbation or intercourse, can help ward off this
condition, also called non-specific prostatitis and , for
obvious reasons, "sailor's disease" and "priest's
disease."
Masturbation is also an ever-renewable health resource. In
fact, the people who start the earliest and do it
the most often are the ones who do it longest into old age.
So, as with all sexual activity, it's "use it or lose
it."
Another potential concern is reliance on masturbation for
sexual pleasure to the exclusion of intimacy with
another person. But in such cases, masturbation is probably
a symptom, not a cause, of larger
psychological barriers to intimacy. Most people want
relationships. But if you're scared of them, you might
stick with masturbation exclusively.
How masturbation got its bad rap First came the
misunderstanding of the biblical passage related to Onan
whose sin, was not masturbation but not impregnating his
dead brothers wife. Then came the twisted
Christian tradition that sex was only proper for
procreation, not just enjoyment. The stigma was later
compounded by the 18th century Swiss physician Tissot who
believed that while bood-flow changes during
any kind of sex would cause nerve damage and insanity,
masturbation was especially hazardous.
Tissot's teachings were picked up by American physician
Benjamin Rush. Besides signing the Declaration
of Independence, Rush wrote several influential articles on
masturbation that helped make it one of the most
feared activities in the new United States. Antimasturbatory
devices became available, including a tube lined
with metal spikes that fit over the penis. Until this
century, young men were sometimes put to bed in
straitjackets or with their hands tied to bedposts to make
sure they didn't do it.
Kellogg, of cornflakes fame, was a virulent crusader against
masturbation and invented the cereal as one
element of a diet he thought would quench the sex drive.
(Mr. Graham came up with the Graham cracker
for the same purpose.) For those masturbators whom snacks
could not cure, Kellogg suggested
circumcision without anesthesia.
Finally, around the turn of the century, physicians started
to realize that masturbation was not the evil earlier
generations thought it was. Still, it was not until 1940
that a respected textbook, "Diseases of Infancy and
Childhood," removed its discussion of masturbation from the
chapter titled "Functional and Nervous
Disorders."
More Detail on the story of Onan In the Jewish Hebrew
culture a man achieved immortality through his
offspring. For example, Onan practiced coitus interruptus to
prevent his deceased brother's wife from
conceiving, so the LORD KILLED HIM! The sin was not having
sex with dead brothers wife (that was
required by law) but the "murderous act" that murdered the
dead brothers soul no longer immortal with no
children.
Since immortality is passed through the generations, it's
clear why the sins for sexual deviation were so
savagely condemned. Under those beliefs, homosexual acts,
would have been murderous to all of one's
forefathers since they did not pass on children to the next
generation and jeopardize forefathers afterlife.
Adultery was just as bad since it mixed blood lines. Singles
sex was seldom an issue since everyone was
married (often to many wives) at a young age.
One's state in the afterlife, according to other
contemporary documents of the time, was determined by the
number of living descendants one had. The more children one
had, the more wonderful one's position in the
afterlife would be. Hence, it was important to have many
children. This may have been why men of wealth
had so man wives and concubines
The sin of Onan had nothing to do with masturbation being
wrong. Only the sexually repressive Church
tried to teach that as one of the many lies about biblical
sexuality. Fortunately most Christians have become
more informed and even the traditional church has given up
on the Onan lie!
