Chapter 19: Myth—Sexuality Doesn’t Matter

Page 74

The male body creates internal sexual pressures and for most men

there is nothing that can be done short of getting castrated. For example, during sleep and about every 90 minutes, the body forces blood to flow into the male penis to cause an erection. Often that erect penis will then rub against the sheets, shorts, wife, etc. and lead to sexual intercourse or maybe

just a nocturnal emission. The male may be dreaming and without any awareness find his penis being stimulated and leading to an emission. Yet isn’t this also just another variation of masturbation? Yes it is. And, it explains why so much sex takes place in the middle of the night in young

couples. Fortunately for the male, the pressures decrease with age, but do not entirely go away. This presents the intellectual conclusion that God’s body design for the male is of one that requires ejaculation. In other words, if the male does not have sex or masturbate to relieve the body’s sexual pressures, the body itself will find a way to relieve its sexual pressures.

An article posted on NewScientist.com 30 references an Australian study conducted on masturbation. “A team in Australia led by Graham Giles of The Cancer Council Victoria in Melbourne asked 1079 men with prostrate

cancer to fill in a questionnaire detailing their sexual habits, and compared their responses with those of 1259 healthy men of the same age. The team concludes that the more men ejaculate between the ages of 20 and 50, the less likely they are to develop prostrate cancer.” There is increasing

scientific evidence that supports God’s male body design.

“And the Lord God said, ‘it is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper [and sex mate] comparable

to him.’ ” Genesis 2:18

“It’s a prostatic stagnation hypothesis,” says Giles. “The more you flush the ducts out, the less there is to hang around and damage the cells that

line them.” Intellectually it is clear that male ejaculation has physical health ramifications for the prostrate.

“So God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them: ‘Be

fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.’ ” Genesis 9:1
