This Just In! Female Masturbation Signals the End of Times! (Urgent Video Warning)

[Dan And Jennifer]

Via the Lust Films blog comes an urgent message - beware of female masturbation!

Yes friends, female masturbation may signal the end of times; or at the very least it is "very risky"... because you know, sometimes "women insert fingers" and we all know where that goes.

But don't worry - as with most of these rules made by men, there is great news too: male masturbation tends to be mostly OK, not "risky" as female masturbation. Wow, dodged a close one there. I thought I was going to have to take a break today, or tomorrow, or the day after.

Seriously folks, in the year 2008 (A.D. for anyone in shock), we are still hearing stuff like this. Incredible. Astounding. And, well, just wow.

Thoughts on this amazingly enlightened perspective?

Uh-huh, yeah, right.

So let me get this straight, this cleric is saying a woman will be in danger of fornication if she is masturbation; that a woman will open herself to health problems in probing fingers and "objects" if she opens her sensitive areas; that she could bring dishonor on her by masturbating; that she could be "flogged" for "fornicating" with herself.

Okay, you got to be kidding, right?!

He's not kidding is he?

Geez, where do I start.

I won't belittle the faith of Islam by lashing out at all of Islam because I think it is not the right tract to go. I do believe the cleric (and other male leaders in the faith) speak much but no little regarding a woman's health and choices with her body. If Islam (as does Christianity) want to keep the faithful to follow the faith it would behoove them to really need to update their knowledge about a woman's body, sexual health, and their inner needs.

I'd also say there needs to be less of the religious law and more of reality for women. I don't think asking Muslim women to just westernize their life and style is the answer, but I think many women of the faith are probably figuring out things themselves without the need for clerics to dictate every aspect of their lives for them. I saw a few ads on AdultFriendFinders.com and found there were women in Saudi Arabia who pursue the search engines in finding other couples/women/men to engage with on some level of sexuality. Will the religious clerics and police take the time to comb through every sex site and relationship membership trying to find any followers on their in hopes of catching them in the act and enacting punishment on them? Let's hope not.

I do think as the Islamic world enters into the rest of society in general it will have some major struggles with women regarding how they want to view themselves. But just watching the cleric breakdown a woman's body and needs as if they have a vagina and breast themselves is laughable if it wasn't so seriously adhered to in most Muslim culture.

Oh no, he's not kidding. And that's the truly mind boggling thing. In the year 2008 (A.D. for anyone not paying attention) - some people are still living in the dark ages.

But there is hope - you'll note he says that killing her for her sin is extreme, and really not a good idea. To me that's in a way like a serial killer having a fleeting thought of "hmmm... maybe I shouldn't do this." At least there's hope.

That's the danger with fundamentalism of any sort, grounded in any religion. Most religions are based (originally) in love and acceptance, but have been so perverted by people and institutions in power over the centuries that more people have been killed "in the name of God" than for probably any cause in human history.

But as I look around our world today, I see hope. I have hope for our generation Ed, for the younger generations who don't have our parents' baggage.

It's astounding to thing that even in the western world, a mere 60 years ago women were finally able to start voting. And watch Swingtown now and then for an appreciation of how unequal women were treated just 30 years ago. And what, 200 years ago they were still trying to see if a woman was a witch by the impeccable and incredibly insightful "float" test - where you're "innocent" if you drown?

And look at animals... in this modern world of the U.S. today, literally millions of healthy dogs are killed annually because dog shelters need to "make room for more". Dog may be man's best friend - and they are - but man has been an incredibly shitty best friend. That's one reason we're staring the "Help Doggies" foundation, because so many good people are simply unaware of what's happening.

A quote from Gandhi worth sharing here (roughly accurate):
"The moral progress of a society can be judged by how it treats its animals".

Can you imagine a more advanced race looking down on us and wondering why we keep blowing ourselves up, terrorizing one another (in a general sense), exterminating our fellow animals for sport, and being just generally destructive?

Seriously. As a race we're barely toddlers trying to figure out a bouncy ball - when you look at our actions (not the fancy gizmos), we're barely out of the stone age. But there is hope... one day at a time.
