1. Well, now that that's settled. I'll be right back. lol. n/t

[MineralMan]

2. Millions of teenagers are breathing a sigh of relief, I'm sure.

[marylandblue]

3. When asked if it's okay to buy sex toys

He didn't give an unqualified yes. He said you can do whatever you want in your bedroom. Does that mean it's okay to use them but not to buy them? What am I supposed to use then? Electric cucumbers?

[AtheistCrusader]

23. Beats dragging the washing machine up two flights of stairs.

In seriousness, IIRC Texas was one of the last states to let go on the whole 'obscene' sex toy/mail order type bans.

[MLAA]

28. You made me spit out my drink laughing...dribbled all over my clothes...better go wash em! SeeYa

[Lordquinton]

4. Best news we've had in a while!

Still need clarification on "accessories"

[Heddi]

5. I don't know about you, but I'm going to celebrate

by masturbating furiously.

[justhanginon]

6. Now he gives the okay. 80 years of my life wasted.

Oh, what could have been!

[czarjak]

7. Thank you...

Oh Anointed One.

8. Finally some good news in this forum that's actually good news!

Teddy better check with the Church first though:

Within the Church's teaching on human sexuality, masturbation is considered to be objectively disordered or intrinsically evil (in se malum or intrinsece malum); that is, no circumstances or intentions can render the action of masturbation "morally good." The degree or seriousness of the moral culpability of a particular act of masturbation, however, can be judged only in light of the degree of the moral agent's knowledge, freedom, and intentions. Full moral guilt requires a fully deliberate choice of what the person sufficiently realizes to be seriously evil, which can then be evaluated as gravely, or mortally, sinful. If the act is performed with only partial realization or only partial choice of the will, the person is presumed to be guilty only of venial sin. "One must take into account the affective immaturity, force of acquired habit, conditions of anxiety or other psychological or social factors that lessen or even extenuate moral culpability" (CCC, n. 2352).

Persona humana (Declaration on Certain Questions Concerning Sexual Ethics) issued by the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith on December 29, 1975, confirmed the traditional understanding of masturbation as disordered:

Masturbation is an intrinsically and seriously disordered act ... The deliberate use of the sexual faculty outside normal conjugal relations essentially contradicts the ultimate purpose of the sexual faculty ... For it lacks the sexual relationship called for by the moral order, namely the relationship which realizes "the full sense of mutual self-giving and human procreation in the context of true love." (CCC, n. 9)

That's more than a little disturbing, how much time do these men spend obsessing about what other people do with their genitals anyway? Isn't masturbation a victimless crime?

[Heddi]

9. it is clear that the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

have never had normal conjugal relations because, if they had, they'd understand that there's a MULTITUDE of things that encompass "normal conjugal relations," masturbation before, during, and after the "normal conjugal relations" being one of them.

non-fucking stupid old men.

[beam me up scottie]

11. Every sperm is sacred, Heddi.

[Heddi]

13. um girls rub them out too

and we don't have spermmmmm

[trotsky]

14. I think I'm going to faint. n/t

[beam me up scottie]

15. We don't have sperm, true, but our eggs - now those are really sacred.

This is why sex toys and birth control are both tools of the devil. If women use them that means we incorrectly believe that our ladyparts can be used for fun and recreation.










*This really shouldn't be necessary but, sadly, it is:

[Heddi]

16. but my eggs don't pop out every time I,

you know...

[Angry Dragon]

25. Is that a cock ring with a clitoris stimilator??

[pangaia]

26. "... no circumstances or intentions can render the action of masturbation "morally good."

Wanna bet?

[muntrv]

10. When he said that, did he drop what he was doing?

[Baitball Blogger]

12. I was a bit preoccupied by Irma. Can someone provide a link for info to determine

who this story developed?

[Cuthbert Allgood]

17. uuugh Now I kind of don't want to.

I'm afraid I'll see his face.

I mean I'll get over that and all, but...still.

[MineralMan]

18. Out of an abundance of caution,

I will not post my Jack and Jill limerick on this topic.

Sorry...

[guillaumeb]

20. So even cartoon characters ............

do it?

[guillaumeb]

19. Did he say it was okay for all men and women?

What a bizarre man he is. And he will undoubtedly be re-elected.

[Act_of_Reparation]

21. Now that I have his permission, I have some business to which I must attend.

I might not be around for a couple of days.

On a completely unrelated note, anyone know how long one might expect 55 gallons of personal lube to last?



I'm thinking I should get two, right? Maybe? Yeah, two.

[trotsky]

22. See you in a few weeks! n/t

[AtheistCrusader]

24. This show has so many perfect options.. what to post... what to post...

[shenmue]

27. Uhhhh...

[Laffy Kat]

29. Well thinking of Cruz will put me off of it for a while.
