Can You Masturbate Without Lust?
GOP Senate nominee Christine O’Donnell made a statement on MTV years ago.
She said, “The Bible says that lust in your heart is committing adultery. So you can’t masturbate without lust.” Here is the link: Link
Can you masturbate without lust?

I can masturbate any way you want me to ;]
This is what I grew up being taught. I think this is why I can’t do it… I’ve found it to seem “fake”… and then guilt and shame quickly follows. Face it, guilt and shame go a long way to destroying libido…
I can. Can you?
Yes.
Yeah, but to do that, you have to be thinking about Christine O’Donnell WHILE you masturbate…
Great picture of her, too.
That seems like a waste of time
If you’ve got a good enough toy, sure thing.
I find it difficult.
Yes. Thinking of the person you LOVE while you masturbate.
I don’t think so. I think arousal STARTS with lust. Even if you wait a day or two… it still started with desire/lust
I don’t think so. That’s why I avoid it.
I don’t think Christine O’Donnell has any right to be worried about other people masturbating.
Yea, sure, there are moment when I can… and cannot.
Actually, unbidden, Janeane Garofalo came into my mind, the last time I orgasmed. This was a huge surprise to me — was that masturbating without lust? Although, in all honesty, she WAS kinda hot in The Truth About Cats And Dogs…
No.
@Drakonskyr - PERFECT.
How is it adultery if you are lusting after your spouse?
Fuck this post. I gotta go masturbate.
Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex( or self-sex…) for pleasure. So I would assume not?
@trunthepaige - Perfect answer.
@Winsa - How does arousal work within marriage? Is desire for a spouse different from lust, or just an acceptable form of lust? Is it possible for lust for your spouse?
Yeah but that kind of defeats the purpose.
Where would the fun be in that?
I’ve seen people use Matthew 5:30 – And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away.
It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole
body to go into hell.
Honestly, based on Paul who says there must not be a hint of sexual immorality, I would say no. I stopped masturbating, because I found no possible way to do it without lusting after something. Once your married, if your lusting after your wife, that’s more debatable.
@SirNickDon - I think lust and desire are similar things. Although lust is more carnal, desire falls into the same category. I think that lusting for your wife/spouse is fine.
Well she also thinks “Friends” is a bad show because it’s casual sex. But wtf was Seinfield? And her new show where she marries a woman to keep her in the united states? This lady is whack.
With ease.
Sure. I think Cheney and Crew would beat off to Gitmo pix etc. Not lust but repulsive nonetheless.
clearly, none of you have achieved an orgasm through sheer hatred of a person.
I can. I started masturbating very young, just because it felt nice. I was 11 the first time it led to orgasm. Even then It was a few years before I found out that that had anything to do with sex. Even now as an adult, sometimes I’m thinking sexy thoughts about hubby, and sometimes it just feels nice.
i guess because i think of my fiance who i love…but i guess i also lust after him…soooo…idk lol =P
lust seeks to TAKE (selfish) whereas love seeks to GIVE. specifically in masturbation it still depends on WHAT scenario you are imagining as you work yourself up. making love to your mate is a wonderful thing in a fantasy as well as real life BUT placing her in positions that she would not agree to in your fantasy is LUST because she gains nothing from it even in your thoughts.
Yes
you can but when i do the orgasms tend not to be as strong
Yeah, but what’s the point. What I’ve always wondered is, what if you just make up a woman in your head and masturbate to that, she doesn’t really exist so where is the harm?
The great and wise Bill says she’s nuttier than squirrel shit.
Well, can you masturbate with love for someone?
Come on, guys, there are soooo many different ways to masturbate that I’ve decided you need to come to my site to read my answer to Dan’s question.
it starts with…”Masturbating to porn, masturbating while texting…..”
“
@WordsandThoughts - Pahaha you would say such a thing.
So if it’s adultery to have lust in the heart, single people can lust all they want and fap and push the magic button all they want since they don’t have to worry about ruining a marriage?
@B2yan_C - Guilty as charged =]
@Drakonskyr - There went my boner…
That woman looks like she could be related to me somehow. LOL
And yeah, I know some people who don’t like it, but do it just to get the edge off.
Nope
No, but we all sin every day in small ways. Try not to let the guilt get to you and instead look for His grace and forgiveness for being imperfect.
No, I need lust to masturbate and that has been hampered for a year now.
@SodomyClown - Thats clever I LOVE IT lol
Democrats did plenty of that in ’08 and made a mess.
I can’t imagine having to justify a reason to masturbate behind closed doors. People overthink these things.
yes you can! well, i can. ^_^
I’m never thinking anything lusty. I’m just getting impatient with how long it’s taking. I am usually thinking about what I have to do later that day or worrying about something.
Generally, I would say yes… but I just saw some really hot asian guy at Target… so maybe not.
What do you think I’m doing right now?
Yes.
I believe that quoting the Bible to justify anything is completely ridiculous. The Bible is meant to guide your morals and lead you to enlightenment; it is not a book of hard facts. My Physics book is a book of hard facts, the dictionary, history books and atlases. It is ironic though, they did a spoof on this on Saturday Night Live.
I don’t masturbate lol
i was really expecting a different picture for this one.
Women can, I don’t think men can
I’m pretty sure I’ve done it without lust. I know I’ve aroused myself accidentally by sitting a certain way and wearing certain pants. If I go through the motions, it doesn’t matter what I’m thinking about.
Yeah I can

It’s all a matter of definition of lust. I’m sure to her and her evangelical quacks, lust is having any appreciation of another’s body. But that’s not my definition. To me lust is such a strong urge that I will take action which would be harmful against another. And so I can say that I can masturbate without lust.
You have to define the definition of lust. Means different things to different people. Desire, arousal, visual stimulation, all these bring about sexual urges in us, but they do not define lust.
Nice picture of Christine O’Donnell. Couldn’t you have found something even more unflattering?
I am sure that in 1986, you said the word “sh*t”. Now, you were only in the 3rd grade, but, regardless, you DID say it. That makes you a profanity laced pervert, right? Not much different logic than you use pulling up some random comment she made years ago on MTV. If we haunt people and exhume their pasts, digging up whatever salacious tidbits we can find to smear them with, then no one would ever run for office. What is the point? So insufferable pricks can dig up their past and plaster it all over for the world to see? To mock and humiliate them, take away from their political ambitions and ideas? Would YOU run for public office, knowing that YOUR past was going to be hung up for the world to see and laugh at? I don’ think so.
It hardly behooves any of us to make ill of the rest of us…
Sure, if you can swim without water.
The real question we should be asking is how do we increase the satisfaction we get from masturbating.
Depends on who I’m masturbating.
Yeahhhh, do it all the time. I do it for the release not so much for sexual reasons, well most of the time…
i have.
anyway you wanna put that.
It’s possible to do it just for the feeling, without any ‘lusty’ thoughts involved
*i would know
@SerenaDante - I think you hit the nail on the head. If lust isn’t involved where would be the fun?
Having said that I do believe it’s possible to masturbate without lust, just not sure why you would.
I think it’s possible for some people.
Yes you can masterbate without lust. I discovered masterbating by accidently moving in front of a pool jet and I thought it felt good. I had no idea what it was and that it was associated with sex, so I didnt think of anything while I did it except for that it felt good and that I had to concentrate to stay in the right spot… I actually think it is funny, thinking back on it. My mom came over to me one day and she said ” I know what you are doing” and she said it in a you should be ashamed of yourself voice so I stopped doing it, but I remember thinking to myself, “really? I wish I could ask her what it is I was doing so I know what to call it”
@SirNickDon - Good question.. I believe that as long as your desire is for the one that God put you with, then your fine. I don’t see anything wrong with that. Remember too, that God made sex as something to be enjoyed between a man and a women, within the confines of marriage.
