It was a question asked of genuine curiousity, not intent to be sacrilegious or blasphemous. And I still want to know what people think.

Oh, let me clarify... I had earlier asked if people thought a very specific historical, religious figure known to almost all masturbated. I don't want to write the name, in hopes that people will answer honestly without being offended.

alpha & omega: My condolences to you if find your sexuality comparable to bowel movements. But maybe my question just wasn’t clear: I am not asking out of shallow, lustful curiousity- no! If, as you said, masturbation is a physiological need (which I believe also), then why is it so shocking to ask if this person did it? It matters to me because I have never found a definitive answer- bibilically based- on the morality of this act. And you being the “alpha & omega”, I guess should have some authoritative answer. ha ha ha.
And why should “some questions.. not be asked”? That reeks horridly of 1984-esque censorship! Now, your words after that point lost their coherence. I don’t know what you were trying to say, and I don’t know what you think it had to do with the question asked.
As for you, Xerxes: I wasn’t looking for accomplices- you mean “yesmen” in this case- but nobody even bothered to answer my question- they just complained about how wrong it was to ask.

People do not get upset, probably shocked because it shows a shallow level on which a brain operates. It is like showing interest on someone bowel movement. Even though it is important medically speaking but some questions are not to be asked. You made mention of a religious figure...We should learn to differentiate a title/position gained from the human being that we are, born with flesh and blood. In every individual the human needs are part of our existence and it is up to each one of us to use or down play the needs as we see fit. Ponder on this: ask yourself what will I gain by knowing the very private lifestyle of so and so?

I feel that people get extremely shy about their sexuality and personal habits. I am aware that you have an interest in this but my suggestion would be to take a human sexuality class when you are of college age. I am shy about such topics and probably would have just looked at you and walkd away. Others could have been rude and used humor to down play the question. Your best bet is to not address this question casually but in the classroom setting. There are a lot of good tips in sociology class about things to do and not do, mores i believe. another good class to take.

For the same reason you are concerned if people get upset or not.
You made a question, and people is entitled to answer whatever they think of it.
What is that you are looking for?
Answers?
Or accomplices?
