Thank you, bc, for your honesty.

Your previous post arrived after my last one.

Admittedly, this is one case where if someone had not masturbated, they might be ashamed to admit it. Which might be a switch.

:D! I honestly believed that if there was a non-masturbator out there they would be proud to proclaim it to the world.

Maybe you're right. No non-masturbators have arisen. Either they are ashamed of not masturbating or there are none.

I'll wait another day or two to make a decision.

Because you were pumped so full of guilt and shame, becasue you still believe it is inherently evil and are still so deeply ashamed that even though it would really be not different than admitting you have pooped, you can't admit it. It's sad and pathetic.

Honestly, is there anyone out there that has never masturbated? Please, only those that have NEVER masturbated should respond (I'm expecting no replies). Please give an explanation of why you have never masturbated... anyone?

Masturbation is common topic in the LDS church. It certainly is among Mormons on this board. If LDS Bishops question the faithful about it, how is it not appropriate for the Celestial forum?

I think that masturbation is an uncomfortable topic for many people. I don't think the word is a "naughty" one. It's used by healthcare professionals in clinical settings all the time. It's a normal human activity and, judging by the obvious lack of "never-masturbaters" posting here, a very common one.

Participation in this thread is voluntary. I'm only looking for anyone that is willing to state that he or she has never masturbated.

Care to put your name down as the first, subgenius?

Like Diogenes searching for an honest man, I have had no luck. It appears that there is no one willing to proclaim that they have never masturbated.

I have been able to offend subgenius, but I think I do that with every post I make so I can't count that as a victory.

This post is a bump in the hopes of finding at least one member of this board who can proudly proclaim that they are masturbation free. Anyone?

Ok, I think I have given this enough time and I'm willing to proclaim that all members of this board are masturbaters. Given that, maybe we can all look at the topic in a different light.

We are all sinners in the eyes of those that presume to speak for God (even Droopy, subgenius and bc had a chance to state otherwise and declined). I think that this board could represent the population in general. I'm beginning to believe in the old adage that there are only two types of people in the world. Those that masturbate and those that lie about it.

From now on you can tell your children (when asked by a Bishop about masturbation) to ask him to be honest and say whether he had ever masturbated. It should change the tone of the whole conversation.

I'm very pleased to be associated with such a bunch of jerk offs.

By choosing the term "jerk offs" you have discriminated against the minority on the board.

I'm lost, Zelder. Do you think there are some members here that have never masturbated? They certainly had a chance to proclaim themselves. My choice of the term "jerk offs" was in it's original sense... those that masturbate. It's my studied opinion that we are all "jerk offs". ;)
