I've been cutting back. Felt a lot of moral conflict that you probably don't care about.
Who says we don't care?
That bit is by far the most interesting part of your post.
What sort of moral conflict can rise from masturbation?
Okay, but I don't want anyone complaining about me pushing my beliefs on everyone. Who am I kidding, trolls would complain regardless of warnings.
A former pastor made the point that masturbation is a type of adultery. You basically are having sex with yourself (try not to think about that to much). While I didn't agree entirely, that did nag at the back of my mind. Also, I did realize that I was lusting after women I never even met. Now, I don't feel that bad about lusting after a woman I actually know and like (I mean
like like), because I have a more emotional connection to her. Then again, I probably should feel worse about that. It made me a bit confused.
Anyway, a basic rule is: if you aren't sure morally, its probably wrong.
