Never was much for jewelry. But a new gun/bow/hunting equipment/airedale or welsh terrier puppy might be nice.
You know some strange women.
Maybe it's you who knows the strange women! ;-)
It would be included in fornication. Yes petting would be considered so too.
Seriously, some folks are out to make any pleasurable act a sin.
No, actually, folks are out to show that taking pleasure in the wrong context is a sin and sin is sin because it is hurtful to someone. (whether they seem to think so or not).
Well, me for one... and it depends on what he's begging for.
I see you like taking cheap shots.
Disenguous. He was executed for disobeying God's command to impregnate his slave, not for the rythym method.
The rythym method and Onanism are two different things. Onan was killed for withdrawing. The rythym method involves abstaining from intercourse on days when the woman is fertile. There is nothing wrong with the latter practice.
Regarding masturbation, the Church has held this position for 2000 years. Every Church father who commented on matters of sex condemned it. Even every protestant denomination condemned it until the 1960's, and all but the most liberal continue to condemn it to this day.
And yes, the Bible does condemn it: masturbation is a form of fornication, which is explicitly condemned.
Yep, as unnatural as a Yankee putting ketchup on eggs or syrup on grits, but not something to be legislated out of exsistence. It grosses me out, but who does it hurt? Who the hell am I to tell him not to do it in the privacy of his own home.
No one is talking about legislation here, but rather morality. Just because something is immoral doesn't mean it ought to be illegal.
Extramarital sex is not illegal, but surly you agree it is immoral.
I also seem to adhere to the libertarian fallacy that only those actions that harm others out to be illegal, but that's another argument altogether.
Somehow that fails to uh... interest me...personally. But I also know a lot of women who *would* find *that* motivating (many times the same ones who don't find fellatio to be something they enjoy performing).
Drat... the secret's out!
Actually I found his character TONS more appealing in the Patriot.
and hey, the other ladies can have Gibson. I'll take Jude Law. ;-)
