Question
Hey,
Thanks for taking the time and emailing me. Sorry about annoying you because the question I asked was one that many men, especially Christian men, ask you over and over, but I personally want to thank you for being patient and opened-minded, especially in this topic of masturbation. I was researching this topic because honestly, I have and still do practice this, but I did not know if it was bad or not because some say masturbating is bad while others say it’s normal and ok. Also, this topic isn’t talked about at all in the church; yet, it seems to me that many men experience this. Thank you so much for your openness to talk about these topics. I’m honestly even afraid to talk about this with my parents because they might condemn me and look at me differently because I masturbate. But I can’t help it. A lot of times I have sexual desires, and as a single man this is the way I honestly ease my sexual desires, and it feels good. But thanks again for helping us men out and may the Lord bless you and your ministry because you are by far the only one that takes out the time to explain this matter and why we feel this way.
I encourage you to continue with this ministry of helping people, especially us men, because I really do love the Lord and my Savior Jesus Christ, as well as you, and want to please him!
Muito Obrigado which means thank you very much!
Answer
You didn’t annoy me at all. When a question comes in that is similar to one already answered, I just direct the person to the prior answer. Since I get numerous questions every day, this is about the only way I can keep up (and even then I don’t). If the prior answer doesn’t answer all your questions, feel free to write again.
