A fan asked OAP Freeze if the use of sex toys or masturbation is a sin.
Freeze gives a very comprehensive response. Read his response after the
cut...
This is one of the most difficult questions anyone has ever asked me.
From the way the letter is constructed, you can tell that the young man
is not only intelligent and well educated, but he is also polite, which
indicates that his parents brought him up well. From his tone, I can see
this is a genuine question that is bothering not only him, but a
multitude of other people, young and old, irrespective of their
religious inclination.
The religious righteousness in me wanted to tell him that masturbation
is a sin and must never be engaged in, but where does that leave the 46
year old widow, who confided in me last year, that she had to buy a sex
toy because her husband died, leaving her with 6 children and no man
wanted to marry her, so instead of jumping from one man to the other,
she decided to please herself?
Or an unmarried man at 35, when I know it's unhealthy, according to
empirical research, not to empty your prostate regularly, as it
predisposes men to prostate cancer later in life?

Marc Garnick, M.D., Editor in Chief of Harvard Medical School’s Annual Report on Prostate Diseases, says:
"Two relatively large studies of this question, reported in 2003 and
2004, yielded good news for sexually active men: high ejaculation
frequency seemed to protect against prostate cancer." Ejaculations
included sexual intercourse, nocturnal emissions/masturbation. According
to the study available at www.harvardprostateknowledge.org The
scientists found that men who ejaculated 21 or more times a month
enjoyed a 33% lower risk of prostate cancer compared with men who
reported four to seven ejaculations a month."

Now, before that righteous Yahoo Boy, who you intend to give your
January salary to, jumps up and starts calling masturbation a sin, let's
remember that Isaac married Rebecca when she was only 3 years old,
according to research done by some scholars and the average marriage age
for boys in biblical times was around 13. Furthermore, David had
several wives and concubines, Solomon had 1000, Abraham 2 wives several
concubines, Jacob 2 wives and their housegirls, so emptying the prostate
wasn't such a problem.
