If masturbation is normal for both M&W, why do monks and nuns abstain from losing their semen/vaginal fluids?

Look at it this way, religion thrives on control. What's a great way to control people? Control WHEN THEY'RE ALLOWED TO CUM!

Then when they do eventually cum you can guilt trip your followers and have more leverage against them. Religion is horrific.

[vittle1999]

Cause they believe that the person's energy flows out when they masterbate. In order to keep the energy within, they don't.

[Cmasterson]

personal preference, believe it or not there's some people are are neither a monk or a nun and still don't masturbate.

[bigbang101]

Yes but why? What's the reason?

[ShaunaM95]

Because they're following religious rules. In choosing to become a nun or priest, they also chose to abstain.

[bigbang101]

But why did they chose to abstain? What's the significance of storing semen or vaginal fluids?

[ShaunaM95]

Because they chose religion. And the significance is abstaining for religion.

[bigbang101]

But how is religion and masturbation related?

[ShaunaM95]

They just are. It's part of "the rules" when you become a nun or a priest.

[bigbang101]

Nothing just is a part of something. There must be some logical explanation...

[wolverine101]

In Catholicism sex is a gift from God to a married couple for the purposes of having children. So in Catholicism the only authorized sexual act must be between a husband and his wife and must be open to procreation. Oral sex, handjobs, masterbation, etc. won’t get you pregnant so these are forbidden for everyone. Birth control makes the sex act not open to procreation so this is also forbidden. I’m sure you won’t be surprised to find out that most Catholics ignore these rules.

@wolverine101 very well put!

[bigbang101]

@wolverine101 Good point. But I'm not just speaking about Catholics, I'm speaking about Buddhist, Hindu, Sufi monks and mystics as well...

[talscudi]

Because their religion told them to.

[PinkMichae]

Because they chose to sacrifice masturbation for their God.

[QueenofCups]

Monks and nuns are celibate for religious reasons.

[Dude55]

I can guarantee that not all monks follow that rule. Not all Priests abstain either.

[bigbang101]

I am talking about the ones that do...

[Browneye57]

Cuz someone said they should.

[bigbang101]

Who said and Why?

[es20490446e]

Some eunuch.

[es20490446e]

Blind faith.
