Yet masturbation is a function that comes even more naturally to humans than sexual intercourse. Yet it comes to us so naturally that if most people were forced to stop doing it, they'd go insane. I feel sorry for anyone that tries to give up masturbation for religious reasons. That person is torturing his or herself without realizing it. I really wish that masturbation were not condemned at all.
Society suffers needlessly when it condemns a natural human function.
People who condemn masturbation create an atmosphere of fear and guilt. People become afraid to admit to masturbation, because of the intolerant atmosphere that they live in. Frankly, I think that society is very screwed up. If teenagers were encouraged to masturbate instead of being discouraged, they would be less likely to commit crimes when they grow up. I feel sorry for our society in general, because masturbation is condemned everywhere.
