You Will Climb to Heaven with Your Hands Full of Penis
I was 15 the first time I masturbated.
As a rabid fan of the video game Sims in my early teens, I didn’t have time for real-life interactions, not even with myself. The 2D characters on the screen felt safer than my 3D classmates and neighbors.
But Sims 2 introduced the possibility of sexual intercourse and revolutionized my perspective.
This WooHoo thing the Sims were doing “under the sheets or in other hidden places” got me excited. Was it the attraction of the unknown? Was it instinct? I don’t know. I guess a mix of both as always.
Fact is, I started masturbating and stopped playing video games altogether.
My focus switched to my Grandma’s Sears catalog collection.
That’s where I found most of my inspiration; several times a day during the weekends. In retrospect, it’s funny because I already had unrestricted access to the internet. Maybe I always was old school.
Even today, I sometimes come back to my favorite Sears issue (1991 Sears Spring Summer Catalog).
Yesterday my son asked me if it’s OK to masturbate
He’s twelve, and I’m so glad he asked. It’s a discussion I wanted to have with him but didn’t want to start. Usually, I try to let my kids discover the world by themselves as much and as safely as possible.
Last week my son saw a billboard claiming, “you will never climb to heaven with your hands full of penis.” The site StopMasturbationNow.org sponsored this campaign, and it got my son thinking.
He has strong beliefs regarding what is right or wrong in our world and aims to be an example of rightfulness for his siblings and friends. He has a vision and is committed to it.
100%.
The billboard pushed my son outside of his comfort zone. It took him a few days to digest the information before coming to me and discussing it.
Yesterday my son asked if masturbating would make him impure.
“Impure?! I’m not sure I understand. What do you mean?”
“I saw this billboard last week. It said that if I masturbate too much, I won’t go to heaven. I know that heaven might not exist, but what if it did? Aren’t only people with pure hearts going to heaven? I don’t want to risk eternal damnation because I masturbated once or twice.”
The once or twice made me chuckle, but I didn’t show it. I remember how uncomfortable these discussions made me when I was a teen.
“You don’t have to worry about that, son. Masturbation is a natural phenomenon. It’s certainly not impure; almost everybody does it. And I dare say they do it as well in heaven.”
You can find a picture of the billboard on Bob Merckel’s Twitter. Would you like to read more in the masturbation series?
