Introduction.

MORALITY
Let's get right to the point: social values and the individual.
Individuals who are happy with themselves can share that happiness with others. The more private and personal the intimacy, the greater the quality of the experience and the stronger the commitment of the persons choosing to share. When commitment is high, honesty and openness is encouraged and these in turn are added to and add to humility and empathy.

Good relationships contribute to good citizens.
Contented citizens build strong peaceful countries. The key to successful intimacy is knowledge of healthy options, self-awareness, experience, and most of all: excellent communication. None of these is provided through the reality fantasy of repression.

  Denying Reality encourages Fantasy.

REPRESSION
We have seen the result of sexual and other forms of repression increasingly in human history. High rates of chronic depression, rising rates of abuse, increasing social conflict and terrorism, endemic involvement in addictive behaviors and greed-based frauds and tax avoidance, a failure of more than half of marriages, an increasing population of single-parent families and child mothers, large numbers of abortions, huge numbers of malnourished children and adults in ever increasing numbers of poor families. Only YOU can decide when the carnage is enough.

Repressed normal needs for acceptance, acknowledgement, sensual stimulation, nourishment, and security will only disappear from humanity when humanity disappears. Repression prevents one from developing positive coping skills including positive values of respect for others. Need plus no coping skills plus no respect for self and others EQUALS an attraction to that which is extreme, disrespectful, coercive, brutal, anti-social. You either accept reality and teach positive coping skills, or, your children and those around you, and yourself --- will be attracted to the abnormal out of desperation and curiosity. Pornography is the backbone of Internet commerce because there is no healthy alternative available to the masses, until now.

All of the electronically connected world is seconds of access away from computer graphics which depict human intimacy as degrading, abusing, power-centred, commercial, desperate, frustrating, alienating, and obsessive. There are more commercial and free Internet sites targeted to the presentation of these forms of images than all of the other commercial sites available.

These pornographic sites have been the driving force for Internet commerce, fraud, software and hardware development. Every time a survey is done as to which segment of e-commerce is making the most money, pornography is at the top. Some of the reasons for this and the implications for you, your children, your spouse, and your culture are noted below.

  Harmonizing Spirit and Physical.

Adding a spiritual influence to a physical, commercialized, and highly populated world is what this section is about. Intimacy can be a great pleasure and reward of physical existence. Its greatest benefits seep forth from a blend of respect for oneself and others, an awareness of sensual touch, an understanding of the human body, equality and freedom expressed within the commitment of a trusting relationship, honest and open communication, reverence, and a healthy "Adult" maturation.

Many mature and balanced individuals are finding it difficult to locate their equal in our society and it takes time and experience for us to develop that maturation ourselves. Until we are secure and happy within ourselves and compassionate and empathetic to those around us, we have little to offer another person in the form of love.

Developing one's love capabilities has become a "recovery" process in many human societies. Highly structured powerful societies almost force the individual to mature in an unhealthy and slow manner with all manner of obstructions and delays. The demands and expectations of the state and its institutions come before those of the individual. Sensual touch is so distant to us that we must often take a course or perform a sensitivity exercise to become aware of what most any rainforest aboriginal learns from birth.

Assertive communication, emotions of reverence and no-emotion (centering), trust, empathy, self-awareness, and even openness, also fit the same pattern of social neglect. So it should be no surprise that physical sexual maturity falls years before socially acceptable intimate sharing and commitment. This forces the issue of spiritual values of respect in conflict with physical need in conflict with social norms. If we choose to disrupt the order of nature, we must make allowances or suffer disorder.

  Contentment requires Awareness.

The individual will best appreciate life and intimacy if they can rid themselves of Energy Blocks, develop assertive communication, reduce or eliminate their sensitivities, become aware of their body and their feelings, and become reasonably self-sufficient. The human body was not developed to serve the needs of culture. Human physical maturation follows a predictable schedule which dictates genital development with associated hormone induced feelings and physical capabilities.

Much human conflict and misery can be traced to the denial of these natural responses. Discouraging self-stimulation and orgasmic relief with inaccurate superstitions, fear and toxic shame only leads to encouraging rape, anxiety leading to aggression, self-loathing leading to intolerance, and rational imbalance resulting in emotional denial.

A disharmony between physical development and need and emotional and spiritual development is often expressed today. Too often, culture has delayed, frustrated, or denied effective development of awareness and coping skills in order to satisfy the demand for mass society workers, production, and consumption. Normally expressed feelings and responses which are forcibly withheld become the basis for great negativity.

Increasingly, this negativity is expressed in intimacy through forms of violence, disrespect, and apathy -- outward signs of inward suppressed anger, frustration, desperation, insecurity, helplessness, and abandonment. This negativity frustrates and destroys opportunities for spiritual awareness, development, and expression.

To maintain one's physical capabilities, one's emotional and hormone balance, and one's clarity of mind for practical, intellectual, intimate and spiritual expression --- one's sexuality must be expressed constructively and in accord with the cycles of one's individual body. To involve another person in one's intimacy before one has developed awareness and self-control is usually the foundation for eventual relationship failure.

Compulsive, reactive, and aggressive acts and words easily become self-centered, unsharing, disrespectful, and manipulative. It is often nearly impossible to undo such negativity once it has been expressed. A more beneficial outcome is possible if one chooses to regulate their sexual hormone production and storage through masturbation: the personal expression of one's sexuality.

Masturbation, or self-stimulation, can be exaggerated or avoided to one's health detriment. Certain religious sects have used overstimulation to intentionally damage sexual organs so as to make them unable to respond in the future. Mutilation by cultural decree, has made the full expression of one's sensual-sexual pleasuring impossible for millions of women and men. Much of this destructiveness has been sanctioned as necessary to limit the degree of interpersonal abuse that is derived from lack of adequate sexual expression.

A balanced use of masturbation can allow for the release of pent-up hormones for the individual and a balance of sex drives between intimate partners. One respects one's body and in return neither oneself nor others are pressured into involvements or activities not desired. Sexuality can become, and remain, an expression of honesty, openness, respect, caring, and empathy ... growing into longer durations of pleasure and harmony.

  Gynecological Concerns

Natural Healing in Gynecology Rina Nissim(1986):

• pages 12/13, Disagreeable Signs ...
  "The symptoms which we generally group under the name 'pre-menstrual syndrome' (PMS), can be diverse: sudden changes of character, desire for sweets, sleep difficulties, congestion (hard and sensitive breasts), bloated abdomen, constipation and accompanying risk of hemorrhoids caused by straining, water retention, weight gain, possible edema, gall bladder problems ... headaches, nausea, vomiting, cystitis, unusually abundant vaginal secretions, asthma, hives, herpes, acne, beginnings of a sore throat, colds, backache, looseness of ligaments ... These symptoms are all related to an over-sensitivitization to sex hormones, a sort of self-poisoning. ...

  Where the liver is already overburdened by the responsibility of breaking down hormones and other 'toxins' (such as sugar, alcohol or drugs), it becomes less able to deal with peak levels of sex hormones .... Thus, women become congested with their own hormones. ...

  It is in fact the excess of estrogens which causes the gastro-intestinal disorders, the water retention, and the excessive stimulation of estrogen-sensitive tissues (such as cervical mucous, the uterus and the breasts) ...."
  
  
  

• page 21, Painful Periods ...
  "Orgasm provides complete and immediate relief but unfortunately may be followed by a new contraction of pain.

• page 51, Menopause ...
  "For certain women, the best treatment for the disagreeable signs of menopause is to stay active, to feel useful, to love and be loved. Being above all a matter of 'well-being', continued physical exercise, sexual expression, and orgasms certainly play an important role. Indeed, one of the things which doctors never tell women is that the best way to combat the shrinking and drying of the vagina is to continue to have orgasms!"

• page 109, Discharges and Itching ...
  "... sexual excitement also stimulates vaginal secretions and thus may offset lowered estrogen (leading to vaginal itching and atrophy)."

• page 160, Cancer ...
  "It would appear that an abnormal level of hormones accelerates malignancy ... aggravates an existing cancer ...."

There are many factors which influence the hormone levels of women and which can bring about abnormal levels encouraging the development of disease. Masturbation, is one of many ways of utilizing and discharging excess hormones and of stimulating under-produced hormones --- each potentially bringing the balance closer to normal.

  Male Sex Organ Concerns.

In Your Prostate .... John H. Tobe (1979)

1. SEMINAL VESICLES:
page 124: "A spontaneous emission, ... will drain the prostate gland as well as the seminal vesicles completely, properly and conveniently. By means of this emission the glands are exercised and retain their tone and resiliency. It must be recognized that if the prostate, the seminal vesicles and all of the sexual glands are not put to their intended use when the need arises or if they are left to stagnate for months or years, trouble will no doubt ensue and the prostate gland will be harmed."

2. EMOTIONAL BALANCE:
page 138: "From such forced abstinence not only does prostatitis develop but it can lead to problems of an even more serious nature. That is, it may turn him into a neurotic, unstable, irascible, impotent male."

3. PROSTATE:
page 179/180: "if ... the sexual organs are allowed to lie dormant, they will atrophy or dry up ... and eventually lose their ability to function at all. ... By not using your sexual organs or by infrequent use of them, you can run into prostate troubles. ... An organ that is not used will eventually become useless and will not function properly or it may become troublesome ... and that goes for your prostate!"

4. TESTICLES:
page 219: "I must warn against the practice of prolonged sexual excitement and stimulation without satisfactory termination for this tends to congest the prostate. (leading to) excruciating pain in the lumbar region of the lower back with penetrating pain and lead-like heaviness in the testicles and along the cords. ... can be readily relieved by a sexual ejaculation."

5. PHYSICAL BALANCE:
page 230: "Sexual relations should be indulged in only when the body feels the desire for this act. Furthermore, the climax should be reached in a pleasant, natural manner. ... excessive masturbation is comparable in its effect and harm to the body to the forcing of an orgasm in sexual relations."

page 249: "... you should never attempt to have sex on an erection that is created and sustained by urine. It is advisable to avoid prolonged sessions of sexual intercourse, but not to undergo long periods without sexual intercourse. Regular sexual relations are essential for the well-being of the human being. Sexual arousement without gratification can be harmful."

  Seniors are human!

Caregivers in Copenhagen have found that pornography and prostitutes have a greater effect on their elderly patients than traditional medical treatment such as drug therapy.

Staff in the Thorupgaarden nursing home in the Danish capital have been broadcasting pornography on the building's internal videochannel every Saturday night for several years. ...

The caregivers have told Danish media that pornography is healthier, cheaper and easier to use than medicine, Lars Elmsted Petersen, a spokesman for the Danish seniors' lobby group Aeldresagen, said.

Earlier this year, the Danish government released a report stating that sexuality is an integral part of life for seniors and the disabled. It recommended that caregivers help elderly patients satisfy their sexual needs.

Gerontology experts in that country agree with the practice.

The issue of sex and seniors is often overlooked at nursing homes, said Maj-Britt Auning, a department head at the 115-resident Thorupgaarden facility.

Normally, "if residents show their sexuality, they are labelled as 'old perverts,'" said Ms. Auning, who has been working with elderly and senile patients for 20 years. "It's time that we show the elderly some respect and take their needs seriously, including the sexual ones." She said both men and women appreciate the sexually explicit videos. ....

  PERSONAL COMMENT.

Masturbation can function as a balancing activity for maintaining a healthy sexual frequency for the individual according to one's libido and one's access to shared love with a trusted partner. Many of the words in the previous statement have an individual relevancy.

"Balance" indicates that outside of a range, which may vary according to other health factors, masturbation has the potential to be insufficient or excessive.

"Frequency" suggests that each individual will have a healthy frequency of production of sexual orgiastic fluids to a storage limit which is followed by a need for expulsion if unhealthy tension is not to become chronic.

"Libido" relates to the intensity and constancy of the desire of an individual for sexual participation and resolution. This may vary according to external exposure to stimulating factors ranging from mass media sexually provocative advertising, to mass culture dependency on the use of spices, perfumes, and body enhancement methods. To this can be added mass media entertainment, both music, video, TV, radio, and internet with both its direct and indirect references. Deep within the individual one will often find energy blocks involved with abandonment, intimacy, trust, and acceptance --- twisting one's feelings for intimacy into obsessions towards or fears against sexual involvement.

"Access":
Our modern North American culture has placed many distractions and frustrations in the way of access to a sharing and trusted lover: hyper commercial competitiveness; conflicting shift work times; conflicting career demands on time, energy, and priorities; abysmal education in interpersonal communications; structured experiences that diminish quality shared experiences; constant encouragement to place personal shared time second to social and business involvements.

"Shared love" is a concept which is more recognized now than at any other time is much of human recorded history. The reality is that the increasing predominance of energy blocks, hypersensitivities, destructive imprinting, poor development of coping skills, and chronic negative behavior patterns has made this attainment the preserve of a very few who have focused their present on developing into Healthy Adults for a high quality future, soon to be present. Getting there may mean time spent alone to become self-sufficient and strong within. Or, it may mean coping with desires which are not yet able to be expressed constructively in a relationship because contact has not yet developed into sharing and trust.

Masturbation can assist in managing natural needs held in unnatural environments until a natural spiritually assisted healthy environment can be shaped and created.
