My point wasn’t to attack the people just saying “Go to Jesus” but there whole narrative that masturbating is seen in such a bad way. Complete control and supression of sexuality, where the OP felt genuinely bad for that, and the comments simply followed the wagon.

But that’s my point, everything feels so restrictive. Why is doing something harmless that you want and enjoy doing seen in such a negative way.

What a perfect example of how sexuality is suppressed, controlled

You reminded me of a post I saw in r/catholicism. OP wanted to stop masturbating, but wasn’t able to overcome the urge and felt very bad about it, knowing it was wrong, and was asking advice. All the comments were in the line of “Just trust and submit to Jesus and he’ll help you”.

WTF… I felt bad for OP and other people in a situation like that.
