The 'issue' of masturbation. (not a rude thread lol)

forgive me for being nieve here...

the watchtowers reasons for masturbation are wrong? they say that God punished some guy cos his sperm was wasted..not entirely true but lets run with that for a second.

surely, since sperm was wasted with masturbation and its seen as murder, then contraception must be wrong as it achieves the same.

what about a woman masturbating? a woman doesn't commit 'mass murder' so are they exempt?

forgive my strange topic, just something that crossed my mind.

What you are referring to with Onan "wasting his sperm" has nothing to do with masturbation. It was because he didn't want to perform brother-in-law marriage with Tamar and get her pregnant.

Masturbation is said to be unclean.

But when a woman masterbates, she doesn't destroy or use any eggs.

If you're referring to the incident with Onan, masturbation is not their argument.

*** yp chap. 25 p. 201 Masturbation—How Serious Is It? ***
God executed Onan for ‘wasting his semen on the earth.’ However, interrupted intercourse, not masturbation, was involved. Furthermore, Onan was executed because he selfishly failed to perform brother-in-law marriage in order to continue his deceased brother’s family line. (Genesis 38:1-10) What of the “emission of semen” mentioned at Leviticus 15:16-18? This apparently refers, not to masturbation, but to a nocturnal emission as well as to marital sexual relations.

Geeze Karl, didn't ya ever read the Youth book on this subject? All the answers to life's problems are in that book.

*** yy chap. 5 p. 37 Masturbation and Homosexuality ***
it is an expression of desiring something that does not rightly belong to one. God has provided marriage as the arrangement in which to satisfy sexual desires. But the person who practices masturbation is, in effect, trying to obtain that satisfaction without paying the price.

In Dub dumb land, nothings free. Considering that 95% of men masturbate, it's nice to see that no one's paying any attention to this midaeval crap.
