Humorous web sites about masturbation:
Americans for Purity: This web site is subtitled "Winning the war
on masturbation." It asserts that chronic masturbation causes "weakness,
depression, forgetfulness and nearsightedness." It reports theological
experts as concluding that masturbation is a gateway sin that leads to rape,
sodomy, child molesting and addiction to pornography. They recommend that
personal vibrators and other sexual aids be banned, that indecent art be
prohibited, and that sausages, cucumbers and carrots be sold pre-sliced.
They advocate female genital mutilation to
eliminate masturbation among women. Caution: thisweb site will probably contain a banner ad sponsored by
Yahoo.com which links to other web sites. Some of these are
pornographic.
Landover Baptist Church
This is a large web site that tries very hard to look like the site of a serious "Bible
believing, Fundamentalist, Independent Baptist Church," taken to
the extreme. But it is in fact a satirical web site. They advocate, with
tongue firmly in cheek, a concentration campus for divorcees, tossing
disobedient children to the lions (well, bears actually) and punishment for
any "association with Catholics, Presbyterians, Mormons, Methodists,
Unitarians, "Episkypols," or any other occult activity..." Use theirsearch
facility to find essays on masturbation.
Free.FreeSpeech.org has a humorous article about "Pitt & Johnson:
Manufacturers of anti-masturbation equipment and chastity preservation
tools." They condemn the abolition of child labor because it
gave "Working class children...more free time on their hands and
consequently the masturbation rate soared." They claim that "Christian
doctors and scientists agree on the harmful side effects of
masturbation..." These negative consequences include blindness, acne, drug addiction,
homosexuality and Atheism.
True Life Stories has a course called "Living God's Way".
Class 6 is titled "The Bible and Sex" which deals in part with
masturbation. See: http://homepages.enterprise.net/
