I've been doing it since I was 4 and have always been told off for it. When I was young as masturbated in public (wth my pants and trousers still on) I was told off because it was rude. Eventually when I started having orgasms I stopped doing it in public and became more secretive about it.

Not when it's alive -- it does, and while there is still life in it it is instrumental for creating new life.
It's kinda like, 'do our lives matter -- we're gonna die anyway' -- of course they do.

I still don't think it's necessary to actually ban masturbation

I wouldn't go to the extent of banning it -- it's a struggle that many people have, but I will give you this -- it is rewarding to be able to beat it.

To each his choice, but there are those of us who work towards beating it. I myself do.

Society isn't against masturbation. Masturbation is against society.

Masturbation might be a Taboo, or even socially unaccaptable, in som parts of society, but imo it's still as natural as sex

It's because the Bible apparently says it's wrong, but then again, the only time it's explicitly mentioned is when some guy doesn't bear his brother a rightful heir, but instead spills his seed next to his bed and is struck down for it. He was struck down because he did not give his brother a rightful heir, not because he "spilt his seed". If it doesn't explicitly say it elsewhere, it's fine.

Probably because from the moment you're born society wants to suppress your sexual stimulation by cutting your foreskin off.

I don't know if it is...... I know of people who look at themselves and, once having committed the act, get so sick of themselves -- they see the ugliness. I know, I've dealt with it myself. But the people around me, however few, have helped me see that 1) it can be overcome, and urges can be controlled, and 2) each person is beautiful.

It's a question of moderation, really. Hypothetically, I could keep committing the act until I can be aroused no more, but then, if I'm sharing my body with my husband, he might not be satisfied, and friction will occur. It just opens up a can of worms with regards to what these passions can lead to. And besides -- it feels good to be master over my passions, rather than have me overrun by them...

Because the Bible says not to.

It seriously just boils down to that, unfortunately. God actually killed a dude for "spilling his seed onto the ground"

This is like the gay victim complex where they are convinced 'society' disagrees or does not support them because being victimized makes everyone care about your problems apparently. Masturbation is far from taboo in 'society' regardless of what you have convinced yourself the big bad fundie you've invented in your head says about it.

It is kind of like when people try to defend pedophiles.

Kinsy did a survey which showed 96% of American males masturbated regularly. When asked about what this showed about American males he replied. "4% lie."

Well, for me, masturbating isn't the problem, it's pornography.
Pornography quickly devolved into a sick indulgence for me, I became a slave to my desire and I didn't really enjoy it. I didn't like viewing women as simply sex objects, wasting my energy and time on instant gratification. It's like an addiction in which you always have access to your drug and it's not generally frowned upon.
The closest to religious influence I've ever gotten was Buddhism, which taught me that self control and moderation leads to happiness and virtue.
Sorry, I'll stop preaching.

I just realized how much I hate words to describe fapping that aren't fapping

"Wank", "Crank", "Jack Off", I hate them all so much. They make me cringe when I hear them.

The same goes for words to describe cumming that aren't cumming. Nutting, Busting a nut, jizzing, splooging, I genuinely can't stand hearing or reading them.

The world isn't concerned with this. There is not such thing as a monolithic group of individuals who are against masturbation and who represent the whole world.

Some countries even resort to criminal punishments, including amputation of limbs, for even being suspected of masturbating.

Yes.

Is it all part of some religious agenda to control us, make us reproduce and create more followers?

Probably not "us" as there isn't much restraining you from masturbating, I'm pretty sure of it. There are groups who oppose it, but that's just how it works. We have different ideologies in this world and individuals and groups will work to promote or even force their views on others.

I just don't know.

Controlling birth and sexuality is a way to ensure control over a mass of individuals, but I'm pretty sure you're safe right now, you can fap without them knowing.

I'm a senior in high school, and the word "masturbation" has never so much come up in a sex education seminar.

I wonder if they think we already know, think it's not their responsibility to teach us (since we can't get STDs), or they don't want to "encourage that kind of behavior" or something. To be fair, though, they do mention condoms, so it's not just a bunch of abstinence bullshit.

it is normal, it is a human body function. it is rather harsh to amputate limbs as punishment for masturbation, but that is just how customs dictate for some. i can see how some would label it a sin being that you are wasting your seed, and religion will always play a part in such matters and others.

i myself am not against masturbation, though society as a whole will always have differing views within.
