Talking about unnatural sexual intercourse, How does one differentiate between masturbation and the new "robophilia"?
masturbateverb UK /ˈmæs.tə.beɪt/ US /-tɚ-/› [I] to touch or rub your sexual organs in order to give yourself sexual pleasure› [T] to touch or rub someone's sexual organs in order to give them sexual pleasure
The above definition is from dictionary.cambridge.org. While the term "robophilia" is quite new. You might able to find the definition from Urban Dictionary. I would suggest 3 to 5 years in the future, it will be used in scholarly articles and officially indexed in the English dictionaries.
While most of the Christian denominations and Catholics prohibits masturbation even though the Bible didn't explicitly mentioned about the activity of it. The key word related to masturbation is "Lust". When a person have the lustful imagination over themselves or another while rubbing themselves. However, it still doesn't explain whether the activity of rubbing themselves is a sin. If the second definition of masturbation is to be considered, the main person is rubbing his wife's sexual organ for the purpose of fulfilling each other and for birth control.
At this point, I have to divert the topic a while to the concept of birth control. We all should be familiar with the Old Testament about Onan. Now, have you see the pattern yet? The pattern of the whole Bible! If you haven't, go read my previous post about incest. In Genesis Chapter 38, we understand that during that era, finding a partner was so difficult, that leaded Judah to instruct Onan to perform incest, which is a prohibition in Leviticus 18:16. If you still argue that everything in the Bible is timeless, then in this situation, the Bible had revealed to you the ephemeral situation! Reproduction was so important during the time of Onan, that his selfish act of spilling his sperms had angered God.
Back to the main topic, masturbation, right or wrong? I am no judge, let God be the judge!
Matthew 5:28 (KJV)
But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Adultery is a sin mentioned in the Ten Commandments. There is no doubt that this is the timeless law God gave to us. Therefore, My personal view on this (not judging) is that masturbation in form of imagining others who is not your spouse, is wrong. It's still doesn't answer my further questions regarding other stimuli of sexual arousal such as, Objectophilia, Fetishism, Neo-Sexuality, and most recently, Robophilia. They all have nothing to do with another flesh. How about Narcissism? When one person love him/herself and have sexual arousal all by his/her own? I would like to have the Bible literalists quoting the direct and explicit verse in Bible regarding my above mentioned issues.
What is my conclusion? BIBLE IS ALWAYS ALIVE! Amen! It tells us about a Father. He was strict, because the nation is still young. He forgive, and shows us love, when the nation was in their 'teenage'. Our nation is now in the adulthood. We shall have that conscience to know that where the line of morality.
Proverbs 23:13 (KJV)Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
Now, I would like to bring us back to the main topic of these series of blog posts. Homosexuality. Is a man, loving another man, a sin? Is a woman, loving another woman, a sin? Some argues that the key is in the sole responsibility that God had gave mankind: Reproduction. I did discuss a little bit about birth control in this post. We shall discuss more next. Thanks for reading.
Next Topic: "If we say that Old Testament laws against homosexuality no longer apply, can’t we use the same reasoning to say that law against bestiality, or modern term, zoophilia, no longer apply?" Please visit my blog again tomorrow! Thanks!
