In Islam, premarital or extramarital sex is called 'Zina'. The punishment for premarital sex is 100 lashes - chapter 24 verse 2 of the Quran. The punishment for extramarital sex is stoning to death (somewhere in the Hadith). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zina Online quran here: http://al-quran.info/ I think I like the Jewish view better .
XD yeah but in Judaism, A man isn't allowed to touch a woman until he is married AND a married man can't touch any woman except his wife. But this goes back to the days of arranged marriages...But Orthodox jews still follow this....Like ya know Matisyahu? He won't touch any woman.
I truly hope you're kidding in that you don't see the benefit in channeling your inner biological(and otherwise) energy into a craft greater than the quintessential "blowing off steam" That ain't any regular steam you let off when you party instead of hitting the books, that's your life energy; you are in a state of internal sin, damaging your future for today's shallow pleasure. The way you figure out if you're doing it right is if you feel incredibly bored to the point of wanting to tear the pages out of the book you're reading. Once you get past that initial childish/whining/self indulgent feeling is when you tap into the part of you that can control anything, your Will.
Erm, aren't you a Muslim gworld? :S My views are if you love your partner and are in a committed relationship knock yourself out. Or really between any 2 (or more) consenting adults of any gender and orientation. I prefer sex with my partner though - I think premarital sex is good - it lets you know how compatible you are physically. (Very )
You're confusing me with Mia - but ah, my apologies - I was confusing you with someone else, I think ^-^;
No problem. You were confused because I defend Muslims against bigots but I do the same for Jews or anyone else who is persecuted or not able to defend themselves. P.S. You should not say such things about Mia, her husband (debunked) will be pissed.
Lol. Cool. Sorry again - I tend to drift here when I first wake up and it doesn't always make for the most thought-out responses
No i am not kidding, although I'm not like a real hard partyer now....If i was, I wouldn't be here at DPF now would I? haha But I hate studying...waste of time...
Study isn't a waste of time, stick with it But neither is blowing off steam - work hard and play hard, it's the only way to live a happy and well balanced life. Oh also ignore that "sin" he's talking about; it's just pent up sexual frustration.
me thinks the lady gworld doth protest too much, giving some signals of envious insecurity it's ok, we were all virgins once...then we turned 14...
ok, since you're all EGO MANIACAL and cannot get outside yourself, and totally missed the first part of what i said, here we go: Using energy to go to a bar and pick up a chick for a one-night stand simply shows how unimpressive you are. You, a man, are pursuing women? Um...That's just following the regular course of nature, making you just a regular schmo. They are supposed to come to you, and that takes transmuting of that energy. Now, Traditone, what could you possibly mean by transmuting that energy? Glad you asked. Case one: Guy wastes his breath talking about his big his dick is to a chick, then she finds out he's smaller than expected and gets disappointed. Other guy keeps shut, she unzips his pants, gets amazed, and has awesome time and tells her friends. What was the difference? One used his energy instead on preserving who he was as a man to brag in order to please this woman because he's so desperate for sex. The other lad, knowing he's fantastic, keeps shut in order to minimize the butterfly effect and keep the ladies in amazement. So no one was wise enough to see the kernel of truth in the study example. It's not about being a nerd. If you work hard, YOU MUST PLAY HARD. There is no in between or one or the other. If you harness that energy for a work, you will have have built and stored up energy to go part and WILE OUT. As opposed to being those bored ass stoners/drunks at bars who do nothing all day, you will be the lawyer who gets the sexy little thing in accounting. Get it yet, children?
Who knows fella one of my great great great great great (you get the picture) grandparents I found was called Manasseh (Son of Joseph - the save the Egyptians from famine one) and I am not Jewish but I am guessing Asenath was pretty horny so having to have her at least once a week would have been pretty cool for Guiseppe er sorry Yosef oh darn I meant Joseph as at least he wouldn't have been frustrated and hey could it be that bad? Lets not even mention the Jacob - Yacoub language thing LOL
I think you are misinterpreting the Tora, my friend. I say if you do it with only the lady you're married to, you should be cool in God's eyes.
In my religion, Orthodox Christians shouldn't have sex before marriage, like. If they do, nothing happens cause most of them don't repent about it or something, unless they're obsessive believers. I myself think that sex before marriage is ok, but with the one person you really love and intend to marry. If you love every person that you date and have sex with it...well that's something else and I don't support that but here's religion says about it: "Let's all have heart, because there's not a man who doesn't make mistakes". It's something like that, I can't really remember.
Cool religion you got there, you get to pick what's OK and what's not OK, and I always thought that was gods job.
@Roman It's the same as Catholic Christianity almost, but I think that Orthodox Christians are more conservative on some issues. I never meet a Catholic so I don't know. When it comes to Orthodox Christianity there are preachings at Sundays and you don't really have to attend them. I myself go once a year to these things and I consider myself an Agnostic, I just keep to it to myself because people are quite judgmental on that kind of things. The rules are same: Thou shall not kill, love the neighbor... If you break the rules, everything is OK in God's eyes, except this with killing. Bottom line, I think it's the same as Catholic Church and I think that Orthodox church is corrupted and money based, but that's another topic. Now back about sex Sex before marriage: Shouldn't be done, but if happens God forgives it (he doesn't care much about it, because people make "mistakes"). Homosexuality: NO! (Like I said Orthodox church is quite conservative on some issues). Masturbation: It's vile and wicked, but it's not a sin that will damn you to Hell. It's natural and good, and do it if you must until you get married.
I thought all sins were equal, kill, repent and you will be forgiven, masterbait and don't repent and you'll go to hell. What confuses me is this Erotic asphyxiation, it breaks a bunch of rules and leaves one with little time to repent, they must go to super hell.
