Can I masterbate and be faithful>? I want answers
I have guilty feelings after masturbating. I'm not sure if it's morally wrong or not. I know I should probably just go ask a priest but it's kind of an embarrassing thing to talk to a priest about. Biologically speaking, masturbation is as right and normal as sneezing, coughing, laughing, and yawning. Suppose, me and Amy or Tobi or Max engaged in solitary sex, lovingly limiting themselzves to ways that their partner could equal, and fantasizing solely about their partner, most of our grave concerns about masturbation would be avoided. I get upset though. Suppose we were trying to determine why God declares stealing to be wrong. If we miss the critical fact that it is simply wrong to take anything that does not belong to you, we could easily conclude that all moral objections to theft are covered if one steals from someone so rich that he literally would never know it is missing, and if the taker then gives it to someone who is in desperate need. Similarly, God knows that all solitary sex sinful.
Also, I wonder, status of having nudity, sexual acts and vulgar language put into a motion picture? Are the virtues of modesty and chastity supposed to affect what a filmmaker puts into a film? Amy tells me that the ancient Greeks never allowed such depictions on stage. For example, the definition of "buttocks" begins "the area at the rear of the human body (sometimes referred to as the gluteus maximus) that lies between two imaginary straight lines running parallel to the ground when a person is standing, the first or top of such line being one-half inch below the top of the vertical cleavage of the nates. I mean, you think of morality much? If a 14 year old boy watches porn on the internet, what kind of sin is that? Is it a mortal sin? I think these pubescent boys know what sin is, what porn is, and how sinful it is. In older days, they might not have known. But today the computer and TV make serious sin very easy. So it is possible for such a boy to be ignorant of the morality of porn, but today I have serious doubts about his innocence or ignorance.
