I'm not defensive. I can, of course, be considered abnormal. And I really do wonder what the big deal is with masturbation.

In what way do you consider this ongoing thread to be "not discussing"?

That's fair enough.

Again, that's fair enough. I have no issue with celibacy. I'm sorry if it came across that way.

What's that got to do with masturbation? Seriously, maybe I'm confused (happens with regularity), but I don't see the connection.

I don't have an intolerence. You can touch or not touch your body parts as you wish. You can also choose not to eat meat. You can choose to shave your head. You can go and live in the desert and subsist on locusts and honey. You can do whatever you like, and if you have reasons for choosing those things, well, more power to you.
I just don't think that masturbation is especially harmful in a general way, and I don't think it's got much to do with spirituality one way or the other, unless it's something that's distracting or obsessive. That was pretty much my only point, and I intended it to be lighthearted. I know it's easy to get mistaken in plain text, and I do apologise if I came across all stern, but, honestly, it's not as serious as all that.
I wonder how anyone could read outrage or intolerance into what I wrote? There was no such intention.
May the light surround you, may you be blessed. May the light surround us, may we be blessed. May love and light surround us all, and may we all be healed and blessed. And so it is, and so it shall be, now and ever after.
