Single Witnesses and Sexuality

    Healthy adults want/need sex a couple of times a week in average, if not every day. For married witnesses, it's not a problem, but for single witnesses, no matter how old they are, it's forbidden to even masturbate and get a bit of sexual pleasure.

    The bible says to get married first, then have sex after. But for some witnesses, they will never get married for various reasons, sometimes out of their control. This doesn't mean that they have no need for sex.

    But for those unable to get married, isn't it cruel to not even have the right to atleast masturbate?

    I agree that people should have the right to do what they want with their bodies as long as they dont hurt themselves or others. I dont see how masturbating is wrong, especially for young boys who get very curious about their sexuality. I def dont see why the WT has to get involved, altho they get involved with EVERYTHING

    by the way JH why do u have a pic of Fidel..Ay

    Um, actually, the Bible doesn't really say that. The only person that objects to sex at all is Paul. The Old Testament was very patriarchal - it's okay for Judah to hire a whore, but a burning offense for Tamar to be a whore...

    Paul had his own issues. I think he was in love with Timothy.

    I would imagine that the majority of young witness males are in fact masturbating, and they just don't tell anyone.

    The "good" JWs are SOL and must resort to many-a cold shower.

    The other 99% just keep their little indiscretions (and tissues) hidden from the elders.

    The problem is not being single it is privacy. As a single jw I know I don't have any privacy. Before I can decide to eye a sister people are paring you up or shewing you away.

    Then once you are out of the "bloom of youth" the real passion to be with the opposite sex deminishes. It becomes a waste of time. To look good as a perspective mate you have be "spiritual" and have money or power in the hall. This means you have to go to college celibate and pissed then try to find a job that fits into your jw schedule. Other wise youll have to marry a sister with baggage. You can get married as a teenager which is fun but sucks when you have to pay the rent and for diapers at 19 because jws know Jack about contraception.

    Which basically means you will marry a non jw if you are the average guy then due to the powers that be leave the JWs. Or you can exploit the system and groom a sister/ seduce a brother 15+ years younger/older than you.

    If I have to do it over again I may have gotten married out of high school and full well know it would fall apart. Because jwism tends to breed celibacy or stupidity. If you dont want to live livida loca then you basically stuck enjoying sneaking to r rated movies or late night cable tv and the spam emails from women with exotic sounding names asking you about their webcam. Mean while you grow farther from your goal of procuring a real mate. One that actually want to have sex with you regularly. While you pay to Jehovah you won end up like your parents cold married and sleeping in different rooms for the last 15 years, or your divorced friend celibate for 20 after a failed marriage and fighting the prostate time bomb (impotence) in his new marriage one.

    Oh and about paul upon further research he was not "anti sex" as much as a jew trying not to offend roman sensibilities. Most of the things he cited were laws that he was admonishing the christians not to break. Contray to poplular belief roman on roman homosexuality was illegal so was adultry.

    Wanna bet?

    The question "Is there life after death?" is not nearly as perplexing as the question "Is there sex after marriage?" There are so many conflicting reports. Some married couples have great sex. For others marriage could better be described as a funeral, the death of an active sex life and a sentence to a life of celibacy.

    Personally, I think it's good for single people to explore their sexuality. They're more likely to find a compatible partner that way, if that's what they choose to do.

    I think I remember learning that in Roman History. I would concur with your opinion that his admontions were products of the times rather than God's own opinions...
