Is Masturbation Really a Bad Thing?

based on my knowledge Masturbation per se is not Bad its just turn to evil when its done on the wrong time or on the wrong place or with excess repetition.

I do it 3-4 times a day, every day except sunday, i guess as long as you can control your urges, your not addicted to it.

I Take my look on it from this view, if people want to look down on it as immoral..... that's they're opinion(i don't really give a flying care, but if it is done to such a degree that it is an obsession/addiction...... it needs to be stopped until control is enacted.

Which one do you prefer? Controlling your lust by masturbating or raping someone? (Well, the example is a bit exaggerated but you still can use it).
Masturbation release your stress, if stress is not released then it will build up and BOOM!
You can find another way to release stress, but masturbation is just another way, so you can't say it's immoral.

Behavioral Addiction:

The term addiction is also sometimes applied to compulsions that are not substance-related, such as compulsive shopping, sex addiction/compulsive sex, overeating, problem gambling, exercise/sport and computer addiction. In these kinds of common usages, the term addiction is used to describe a recurring compulsion by an individual to engage in some specific activity, despite harmful consequences, as deemed by the user themselves to their individual health, mental state, or social life. There may be biological and psychological factors contributing to these addictions.

In other words,

If you masturbate despite consequences, or if your masturbation takes precedence over necessary activities, it is an addiction.

Partaking in an activity often, doesn't qualify as an addiction.

No, there isn't anything wrong with it, and anyone who thinks it's bad is a moron.

It's a very natural act, and anyone who argues that it's bad should carry on with their consumer lifestyles which is just people making things for them to do and feel good with via instant gratification (TV, "entertainment", the best brands etc.), rather than people doing things for themselves and feeling good via production and actual work (masturbation). They should also carry on with their religion which is great at limiting human experience.

I believe masturbation shouldn't be immoral even if it was considered so. It releases pent up emotions, preventing you from committing adultury, or such. Also it releases chemicals in your brain that relaxes you. And it's all natural, unlike some drugs or other things.

Well I don't see anything wrong about it. Neither would any of the denizens of Fakku. I guess the overall opinion would be pretty much 1 sided, seeing as you posted it in a pro-masturbation group(No Offense).

Seem perfectly normal, people enjoy it so they do it. I never masturbated it (I have ejaculated it >.>) but I can understand why they do it.

Kinda silly how masturbating is consider bad, o wait what am I saying, of course its bad! Just like how video game screw your life and you can't live on it! Or how Mario promote animal abuse just because he is wearing a magical Tanuki suit... It best you ignore people who make these sort of reasoning or all the stress relief you have done from masturbating would of gone naught.

Even if I were to switch sides, and speak from a deeply religious standpoint, my answer would be the same. If I am to believe that God is infallible, and I am God's creation, then I am to believe that I work exactly as intended. Any and all primal urges, a critical part to God's greater plan.

Which it is.

I mean, the libido exists to motivate the Human Race to perpetuate itself.
