Thank you for your response, and the suggested reading for my hubby. He is normally not into reading things i suggest (i think probaly like you said, it makes him feel inept, so he prefers to avoid it), but i will try to get him to read it. 🙂

Greg – Of course that scripture does not make anything wrong or bad, just prescribes ceremonial cleansing to be done following those acts. Given that the list of acts includes sex with one’s spouse, it’s not about right or wrong.

Some have suggested that the way this is written was to include masturbation, which would seem to make the act acceptable. I don’t think you can prove that was the intent, but it certainly would include male masturbation to climax.

Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts. Wonderful, Jenny!

Interesting scripture. I looked it up. I’m curious what others would say about it.

Well, there you go, Jay Dee! Great minds think alike. 😉

I have disagreed with some Christians on this for non-married Christians. I don’t think masturbation should be frequent, but I agree that it can take the edge off from time to time and be used to avoid temptation. Good point, V.V.!

Great minds! 😉

And a wonderful point, Sheila. Women who masturbate with a vibrator can also train their bodies to that and make it more difficult to climax with the hubby. But it’s SO MUCH BETTER with hubby involved because intimacy increases that way.

Wow, Jennifer. What a lovely compliment!

Thanks, Paul.

Thanks, Amanda!
