You make good points, but I don't agree with you. Rather than go out there and commit fornication, pleasing oneself is better.

1. Not everyone who masturbates uses pornography or images
2. Not everyone gets addicted to it.
3. Masturbation does not in any way cause low self esteem, unless that person had a low self esteem beforehand. Has nothing to do with masturbating.

Sometimes, when a persons sexual need becomes too strong, rather than revert to unscrupulous means, they masturbate. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

In my opinion, masturbation keeps the sanity of the mind. Good write up though.
