HolyGhostGirl View Profile History	SECRETS in the CLOSET Posted : 16 Apr, 2011 09:01 AM Ladies.... If we're supposed to be sisters in Christ, we should be like family. We should look out for one another and not be critical. So look...don't judge me for what I'm about to ask. The only difference from me and most others is I'm bold enough to say what they think. With that said... Is pleasuring oneself wrong? Please read between the lines here because I don't think I can type the M word. If it is wrong, what do you single ladies do on those lonely nights where you may feel vulnerable? And don't get all cute on me and act like I'm the only one who has questions and goes through this! Thanks! Post Reply
View Profile History	SECRETS in the CLOSET Posted : 16 Apr, 2011 09:51 AM Ha. You do realize the men will read this. I'm going to say yes it is. Do people still do it. Yes For me.. I went from having lots of sin. To less sin. To now just once in a while touching myself. Without porn. I think it will get to the point I stop doing it alltogether. Because really it just awakens things I dont want awaken. If you get what im saying. Post Reply
View Profile History	SECRETS in the CLOSET Posted : 16 Apr, 2011 10:30 AM I think I am going to have to abstain from ask the girl section for a couple days, to quote 'soluvable' : "Because really it just awakens things I dont want awaken.".... .....yes, funny, but true. Post Reply
View Profile History	SECRETS in the CLOSET Posted : 16 Apr, 2011 10:42 AM Okay... Everyone goes through that, and we all struggle, some more than others. It's important to pray and ask the Lord to wipe the thoughts from your mind, you may be surprised, but it does work. I'm just wondering, HolyGhostGirl, what goes through your mind when you ask these questions so publicly? Forgive me, I'm not prude or anything, and I'm certainly not judging anyone, at all. But this is available for guys to read, and this may or may not give them thoughts. This was definitely something you could have messaged or polled a few girls about in private. Forgive me for saying so, but I think you just want to ask questions that are controversial, or edgy. Post Reply
View Profile History	SECRETS in the CLOSET Posted : 16 Apr, 2011 11:22 AM I don't think this is appropriate at all. It has nothing to do with judging anyone, it has to do with respecting our other family members because such talk could cause them to stumble. Post Reply
Gourd00 View Profile History	SECRETS in the CLOSET Posted : 16 Apr, 2011 11:39 AM Perhaps the reason some people are affected the way they are when these type of discussions come up is because so many people avoid talking about the topic in the first place... Post Reply
View Profile History	SECRETS in the CLOSET Posted : 16 Apr, 2011 11:56 AM Gourd00, perhaps some people wish to abstain from that which is sinful, and don't want to cause other Christians to fall. Is that not love? I wish you could only see things from a different perspective. Our goal is not to be bold, it's to be more like Christ, and less like the world. I have no problem about talking about it, if there is an actual purpose. But there isn't, is there? Post Reply
View Profile History	SECRETS in the CLOSET Posted : 16 Apr, 2011 12:00 PM Perhaps choosing a better venue than an online dating forum that includes men and women would be more appropriate. One of our brothers has already admitted that it could cause him to stumble; why would we, as Christians, want to continue with this? Post Reply

Gourd00 View Profile History	SECRETS in the CLOSET Posted : 16 Apr, 2011 12:21 PM A lot of people might say there isn't a point in talking about, but considering like 97% or more of men will have done it at some point in their lives, and I believe 80%+ of women will have as well, it's a rather relevant topic. Not to mention that if a person tries to abruptly get rid of the habit when they are used to it, and let's say they are dating as well, it could cause them to do things with their date that they wouldn't have otherwise and would later regret. And not everyone agrees with you that it's sinful. The devil loves keeping people in ignorance. If he can keep them from talking, he can keep them from getting valuable info. And people who might be affected by it don't have to read the threads. Also, even talking about chocolate could affect someone in a negative way. We can't just give up talking altogether because a random person here or there might have a negative reaction to it. What happens if our talking could help a ton more people than the minor amount it hurt? Overall, we would have saved a lot of people possible pain and far worse sins. Post Reply

But if it's between M'ing and something worse, then go the M route. Some Christians like to assume that since they don't do it, that it's 100% easily viable for everyone else not to do it in their situations as well, which is a lie. Post Reply
