No... You're touching yourself... It's in a sense, consensual, "voluntary".  If you didn't want to masturbate, you wouldn't...  it's not like you're going to beat yourself silly and force yourself to do it against your will...\nWith the fact that it's in your mind, well, you're fantasizing this scenario...  If it really gets you going, you will grab yourself because, although in your mind it's not supposed to be "good", the fact that it's going according to the way you see it is turning you on, and you will get off on it.  It's almost like voyeurism.

I think it is a question that will never be answered, and it is very possible. If he was seen as a man, then why would he have not been treated as a man. Why would rape not be apart of it, when you consider the other documented travisy he went through. I just dont think people would want to think that occurred but it is very possible, and is a very good question that deserves much study. I wish you well

It is perfectly natural to masturbate. Even monkeys do it. You will drive yourself crazy if you have to stop. Why do so many people want to deny themselves simple pleasures? \n\nAnd as for the advice about getting married just to relieve sexual tension... what a TERRIBLE reason to marry somebody!

I think the experts say that masturbation is indeed healthy in the absence of real sex.  It relieves stress and promotes healthy endorphons to be released in your system.\nHow much is too much?  No idea on that one, but I would say that if you are doing it all the time and not having sex, it might be a problem.\nIt should be supplementary to intercourse, not exclusive.

Yes, I think that fact that something is taboo has some turn on erotic nature to it. Am st8 here and not interested in going gay, but thoughts in and of themselves can be erotic, although not actually carried out.

So when you are masturbating, you are playing with your sexual organs. This is a sexual activity and thus yes, it can be called sex. Granted it is not sexual intercourse but it is a sexual act in some form. \nThe word "virginity" has a strong image of "abstinence." You may decide you had sex too soon or rethink your decision to be sexually active. Becoming a second-generation virgin is one way to strongly state to others and to yourself that you have decided to abstain from sex. \n\nRegain a feeling of control - For some, virginity is a state of mind. The origin of the word "virgin" is from the Greek word "Virgo," often associated with goddesses of power. For some, second-generation virginity is a reclaiming of power and control over one's body. \n\nReclaiming your sexuality - When someone forces or pressures you to have sex, or makes you feel your virginity was "stolen," it doesn't feel like that should be your "first time." Your first time having sex is special, and no one has the right to take that from you.

Yes, many women have orgasms when they are raped.  It makes it psychologically much worse.  It causes a huge amount of guilt because they think there's something wrong with them.  It is not uncommon, in fact, there are a lot of women who report having had their first orgasm when they were raped... for those who don't believe me check out any rape counseling web site.\n\nSo many of the answerers are spouting jibberish with no actual knowledge of the subject.  An orgasm is a physiological response, which some women DO have while being raped.  It doesn't mean that they enjoyed the experience, it does in fact make it much worse.  The women (men can get erections and orgasms while being raped as well) are much more traumatized because they can't explain how they could have had an orgasm in such a painful and disgusting experience.  Yes, this occurs is violent rapes as well as less violent ones.  I'm sorry for those of you who see this as an impossibility, but it is accepted fact.  I would very much like for an actual rape counselor to answer here, but it probably won't happen.

No, having sex as a form of entertainment is purely a human behavior. The man might feel unsatisfied but ultimatly, its all in your head.

It's Normal, Healthy and Okay to Masturbate!\n    eve and adam Masturbation can be defined as self-stimulation to cause sexual sensations. The use of the word masturbation usually suggests that the person is manipulating his or her genitals to the point of intense pleasure or orgasm. (Orgasm refers to a period of intense excitement in which genital muscles enter in to a series of highly-pleasurable contractions or movements).\n\n    While masturbation can involve another person, most of us think of it as a very private act. According to some health care providers masturbation allows a healthy way to express & explore your sexuality and to release sexual tension without all the associated risks of sexual intercourse. Health professionals generally agree that this private touching is a natural, normal mode of self-exploration and sexual expression. Unfortunately, after the excitement of the moment has passed, many people find themselves filled with guilty and or shame.\n\n    Why all this guilt and shame? Actually, from American History.\n\n    A little bit of American History:\n    Our attitudes about masturbation have deep roots for sure. Around the turn-of-the-century, some adults were so against masturbation that they forced their daughters to wear gloves made of a steel-wool-like material (like Brillo pads) at night and to put a powder on their genitals that made them painful to touch. They made their sons wear metal chastity belts at night that made it painful to have an erection. During the 1820s male masturbation was prevented by piecing the foreskin with a wire and soldering the ends together. Boys and girls were discouraged from masturbation by the threat of blindness, madness and illness. Of course, all of these are not true.\n    Of course, the subject of masturbation was taboo years before the United States was created. All kinds of chastity belts and other devices were used to prevent masturbation, probably as far back in history as you can go. This will vary from culture to culture.

Elaborating on a previously-discussed topic for your final exam makes sense.\n\nLet's define rape as forcing sex upon someone who doesn't want it -- either can be male or female. Let's also assume that if rape were to end, it would end for all time. Not end for ten minutes, then resume again.\n\nSince I have never been raped and future rape would be impossible, there would be no direct effect. Not to sound insensitive to rape victims, but this would be a nice relief to me.\n\nI imagine that this would affect four other groups of people -- past rapists and their victims, future rape victims who now shall never be raped and future rapists who shall be unable to perform their tragic act -- and since I surely interact with members of all groups, my life would change through my interactions with these people.\n\nWe can remove from consideration those who have never been raped but would be raped in the future, but now shall not, because rape has ended, as well as their rapists, because they will all live unaffected by this tragedy (thankfully).\n\nSo it comes down to the changes in previous rape victims and their rapists, and how my interactions with them would change me.\n\nI simply do not know how this would affect victims of past rape, so I do not know how this would affect me.\n\n---\n\nIt's also possible to assume that rape would end because ALL sex would end (a sure-fire way to end rape is to simply end sex, yes?). In this manner, there would probably be more bitter people in this world, which would surely make me more upset (esp. after not having any sex). In the long run, there'd probably be even fewer people to interact with, assuming there's no alternative method of procreation utilized or created.

rape isn't about sex, it's about power, control, and the thrill of victimization. sex offenders cannot be rehabilitated. and certainly not by the use of chemical castration w/o also combining medications that extinguish the sexual urges...there are many ways to rape and sexually offend other than using a penis.

No, the Bible has no comment about masturbation, but does cover just about every other thing you can do with it.  It is not a sin unless you try to hurt someone else by doing it in front of them without their permission.\n\nSpilling Seed: The Bible tells a story whereby God commands this guy to have sex with a girl and get her pregnant.  During intercourse, the guy withdrew early, squirted his semen on the ground, and the girl did not get pregnant.  So God smited the guy - not because his semen hit the ground, but because he DISOBEYED God.  \n\nAnyway, it wasn't even true masturbation, it was real sex, and yes, it was commanded by God.  I don't remember what that guy's problem was.  If I was God, I would have smited him too.\n\nAlso, unlike killing people and stealing, you don't have a choice when it comes to masturbation.  For guys, its biologically required.  Its no more a sin than breathing, pooping and peeing.\n\nTo the girl down below:  MASTURBATION DOES NOT MAKE YOU A HOMOSEXUAL!\n\nLust issue: Its totally possible to masturbate without lusting.  It will likely happen in your sleep if you fail to keep a regular schedule.\n\nBlindness: I hope you aren't really stupid enough to believe anybody who says it will make you go blind.  Biology says its good for you.  So unless you poke yourself in the eye with your stiff prick, you'll not likely go blind.\n\nFornication: This is sexual intercourse outside of marriage.  Masturbation is NOT the same as sexual intercourse.\n\nCatholicism: The Pope has a lot of strange rules about sex.  For example, wearing a condom is a sin.  Its a sin for a priest to marry.  However none of this is actually in the Bible.\n\nI most certainly do not think Jesus was nearly as stuck up as some Christians are.  I know for a fact that He also masturbated because He was male and at that time, He was also human.

Of course its rape, its no different from someone giving you a date rape pill and having sex with you while you're asleep

Some people quote the bible as saying its wrong to "spill your seed", but that's just stupid. There is nothing wrong with masterbation and it hurts no one.  It's also a great way of getting to know your own body.

I don't know, to be honest. Everything I've heard says it is, but the Bible doesn't make any such claims that I can recall. But then, what goes on behind closed doors is between you and God. If He doesn't tell you He objects, then go for it. Personally, I'd rather see some practicing self-love than having sex just for the sake of doing so.
