I don't think it really can do too much bad to a person except mess up their sexuality and make them embarrases or ashambed. I don't really know. I mean it can't really mess you up unless you let it but sometimes people can't help what messes with them. Whatever you did is in the past and is gone but sometimes it is hard to believe that. It is true but you have to believe that it is in the past. Do you know what I mean? It's just one of those cases where you would rather be safe than sorry. I don't really know. I'm no expert on this matter. I don't think anyone is any more expert in this area than anyone else- except God. That is what makes it so controversial. This is just my opinion. Don't feel like you have to confess things to people, though. Only tell people something if you want to. Don't feel like you have to do anything. Mastrubation is just one of those things like picking your nose. It just isn't good.
Actually I am an expert about my masturbating. I really doubt anyone else could be, you know, since it's self explainatory. How does making me feel good and helping me relieve stress and helping me sleep harmful to me? And you should know picking your nose is a natural occurance. It helps you get rid of crap up there. There is nothing wrong with it. There is nothing harmful in touching yourself. You just have chosen not to due to personal and or religious reasons. But please do not give statements to the effect it is bad unless you can actually tell me how touching my own body is harmful. I assume you mean sinful. It may be sinful to you but I assure you if you touch yourself you wont get sick.
