[On masturbation- is it a sin?]
For a religious person it can be seen as sinful because it can be extremely selfish, and thus condemning the soul. However this doesn't hurt someone in the process as long as it doesn't foster lust.And yes it is possible to relieve oneself without any sexual imagery. One would hope that thought the course of ones spiritual journey,if one so choses to continue this practice that it will become fruitful and deepen ones spiritually.However one must be diligent that one is not engaging for pleasure.
oh and what that means is whatever the cost to no sin against someone else you should do it.
And yes i do mean that we should start adjusting our attitudes so as to fall in love with the person and not with the body. Maybe one should relieve himself several times before going on that date. Fine someone that fits you spiritually rather then physically. Its rare that one makes the proper choice when blinded by there desire.

"Fairly enlightened"?
Even if in spirit it might hold some merit, the fact that the conclusions are drawn from false premises, e.g. lust being sinful etc., still makes it fundie and wrong.
Besides it posits a false dichotomy; where does it say you can't fall in love with the person and the body.
And yes it is possible to relieve oneself without any sexual imagery.
Yeah...I jerk off with an image of Jesus behind my eyes all the time. Well, either Him or your mom.

I hate to break this to you but when I'm jerking it I couldn't care less about my spirituality. The only thing I'm looking to deepen is my "moon unit" in my wife.
However one must be diligent that one is not engaging for pleasure.
I could have the deacon of the local Protestant church standing by to smash my balls with a hammer as I'm "reaching the peaks of ecstacy". Would that be enough or should I engage in some CBT as well?
You're not the first fundie I've run across with this kind of harshly repressed, Puritanesque approach to sexuality. Just ask any Bob Jones University (BJU---hahahahahahahaha) alumnus and they'll tell you all about it. At Bob Jones--which I visited twice prior to graduation to get information about attending--holding hands is tantamount to raw bareback fornication in public.
What happened to "Every sperm is sacred?"
That and there are studies that say the more you masturbate the more you think about sex, so reliving yourself several times before a date may send you into an endorphin high and that "someone" will fit you no matter what because your brain chemicals are overriding everything else. (Knew a guy in high school just like that - CREEPY!)
Not fundie.
"And yes i do mean that we should start adjusting our attitudes so as to fall in love with the person and not with the body"
Nice sentiment but relatively few people are capable of doing that.
Masturbation without sexual imagery or pleasure?
Fuck that shit.
"And yes it is possible to relieve oneself without any sexual imagery"
At least palakakau doesn't suggest masturbation while thinking of puppies and ponies and pretty flowers. (anyone care to find that quote? I'm feeling lazy and it's late.)
That being said, it's still crazy. Good luck finding a girlfriend, there. *pats the crazy little fundie's head*
And later on after the date, if you do it(assuming you haven't spent yourself before the date)if your not selfish, and it is a spirtful journey, is sex allowed?
"And yes i do mean that we should start adjusting our attitudes so as to fall in love with the person and not with the body. Maybe one should relieve himself several times before going on that date.

Apart from the rather bizarre angle and my pet spelling hate, I don't really disagree with finding someone to love for who they are. Plus, if this guy really is a fundie, he/she appears to be rather progressive.
So...don't masturbate lustfully, but masturbate like crazy when falling in love?
Two thumbs up for partial contradiction, sexual hangups, and bad suggestions. May not be suitable for children.

You might as well actually do it on the date. There's no point in just making one person happy when you can make two people happy :)
"Fine someone that fits you spiritually rather then physically."
Yeah, who needs all that annoying sexual chemistry messing up a date anyway??
Edited to add: I would like to see kittens farting glitter, but not on my date.
Im not selfish about my masterbation..anyone can jump in and help, or I can help them..or they can just watch.
