Talk:Masturbation
From RationalWiki
Hmm... frankly, I don't see the point of this piece. To me, it reads like "look at that bullshit Ellen White wrote 130 years ago HAHAHAHAHAHAAA... of course, we all know that Betty Dobson has it right." Which is no more enlightening than its counterpart on CP (yes, I'm talking about their inexistent article).
There would be lots of interesting questions on the topic, for example:
- Are there any authoritative and conclusive scientific studies concerning masturbation and its effects?
- What do the (major) religions say about it, and more interestingly: why? E.g. if they condemn it, is it "just because", or is it for a reason?
I understand that RW does not strive for NPOV like WP, but without a certain degree of objectivity, this won't get beyond "religion X says that masturbation is wrong. But we know that it is fun, so X is bullshit." Which is hardly a rational argument, and certainly not a good basis for constructive debate. --18.233.0.36 12:56, 15 August 2007 (CDT)
In Indonesia the penalty for masturbation is decapitation.

[edit] H2G2 "Quote"
Like, I totally made that up but if someone finds a cite for it, then it's right. Both the quote and what the guide says about masturbation.CЯacke® 10:33, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
