Not eating meat controls your life because you are purposely limiting nutrition options when it isn't medically required

Not exercising limits later mobility as you let muscles waste than keep them stimulated. Which ironically is this principle..

This is a poor argument. You are taking something that needs to be done to survive - eating or exercising - and using that as an analogy for masturbation and pornography. Masturbation is not actually needed to survive, but what is most telling is that those that are supporting masturbation tend to imply that it is. This tells me that those supporting masturbation are actually enslaved by their sexual urges because they are unable to consider the possibility of going without.

There's a difference between 'socially controlling sexual desires' and 'repressing natural sexual urges'

LOL. Typical manipulative language. So "moderate masturbating" is "controlling sexual desires" but "abstinence from masturbation" is not a more effective means of "controlling sexual desires", but rather "repressing natural sexual urges", i.e. unnaturally repressing something that is "normal".

believe any action that leads to self pleasure will end in the same result.

Self pleasure is always a tends to a self reinforcing circle. To prove my point, here's a challenge for you: If you are truly in control of your sexual urges, stop masturbating for a month or two. It should be easy if your reason is in control, correct?

And you accuse ME of being manipulative. This is essentially 'do as I say to prove that I'm wrong but in the process prove you are easily manipulated into dying as you're told'

Listen, I'm the guy that when people are mass jumping off a cliff, I'm the motherfucker that pulls out a chair and eats popcorn to judge who makes the best splat. This is a clear technique used by parents to make kids do something which doesn't work on any but the most braindead of kids.

You want to live that way, go ahead but don't try this 'lol I'm so enlightened because I refuse to give in to my urges' crap because all that gets you is a collective piss off by the majority. We got enough of that from gaming we don't need the same from even basic bodily urges that you just need to moderate like rage.

How is that being manipulative? I'm simply pointing out the truth. You said that you are "controlling your sexual desires". Yet, your defensive response tells me that you are unable to stop giving in to them for even a few months. You are not actually in control of your sexual urges, despite your insistence otherwise. Your sexual urges are controlling you.

Those that practice abstinence are in control of their sexual urges. They are not "repressing natural sexual urges", but using their reason to control sexual urges and their lives.

If you truly want to "control your sexual desires", then you need to practice abstinence.

If you don't want, to, so be it, it is your life. But don't tell people you are controlling your sexual desires when you are not.

That worked SO well in schools and didn't just deliver kids to the left so easily along with culture loss too..

I really hope you aren't indicative of the churches in your area otherwise those kids aren't going to go to religion but the left...again..

You are suggesting that it is necessary to condone pornography and masturbation to children to "get them on your side". You should really reflect on what you are saying here.
