I get routine masturbation can't and/or shouldn't replace the real deal in a monogamous marriage...but I have a very different perspective on the article you sited. If 61%, or nearly 2 out of 3 men masturbate, that leaves only 40% who don't - ugh. If 30% of women masturbate, that's 70% who are not - not so bad comparatively speaking! I didn't hear if this was of all adults or simply married adults...either way, I have a question then: So are you saying the act of masturbation is sinful, period, no exceptions? I'd be really interested in the motivation of men versus women for their choosing to masturbate. I wonder if many of these women who masturbate aren't statistically perhaps those single moms raising kids and working two jobs to support them, divorcees who's husbands traded them for a younger model, women who're in marriages where the husbands believe the '1-2 minute weekly service act' is a gift to be cherished, or who's spouse abuses them - don't they almost have 'rights' for self-gratification once in awhile (vs. choosing adultery or living in depression etc.) - personally, advocating no masturbation irregardless of circumstances seems shortsighted to me!! Now, perhaps, when in monogamous, committed marriages if masturbation replaces the real deal and/or is coupled with porn and other ilicit sex acts...I see your point, but isn't it then merely a symptom to society's bigger issues - divorce, adultery, abuse, depression, stress etc.. If an article merely points out that it's medically 'ok' and mentally 'helpful' in certain situations, then I can hardly say the website is advocating the devil's work!?
