thanks for making your views more explicit. i guess i have trouble with some of the claims that you are taking to be fact. I've be interested to know what studies establish the following 'fact':

> Any person (male or female) who masturbates often for sexual release can be creating future problems for them and their life long partner, for they are setting their body and mind eye up to sexually connect with some thing else other than the person they love.

So the majority of people in the world who masterbate well before they are ever sexually active with a partner... Are setting themselves up for future sexual problems? I thought that people who didn't masterbate as children / teenagers tended to be the ones with the sexual problems later in life???

> if you are to masturbate -
do it with EYE WIDE OPEN and look your partner directly in the EYES at the moment of sexual release - your orgasm.

so one shouldn't masterbate until one has a partner, is this what you are saying?

> You do NOT know what you are missing until you try this EYES WIDE OPEN thing..... it is an physical, emotional and spiritual coming together of that I could NEVER put into words, yet I have felt it, boy have I ever felt it.
....... WOW!! BAM!! FIREWORKS!! CHRISTMAS in JULY!!

And thus... It is a moral imperitive to do this or else one is creating likely sexual problems for oneself?

Things seem to have progressed from the 'don't play with it or you will go blind' idea... But not very far, I must say.

> masturbation should NEVER be your main form of sexual release or even 50% of it, other wise the body will become confused and connected to an object for its pleasure.... therefore making it near to impossible for you to reach orgasm any other way.

I don't believe this. I don't care who said it I'd want compelling studies to show it.

It is jolly well hard to believe since before people are sexually active with a partner masterbation is of course 100% of their sexual activity and yet the majority of people do not have problems orgasming with a partner later in life.
