“Ferdinand Bardamu is no Dr. Kellogg. He’s managed to turn quitting masturbation into a personal revolt against the furiously fapping masses — and he’s enjoying the silence.”
Yeah, I'm not buying it. I didn't give LDS the satisfaction after I discovered masturbation, and I ain't gonna stop for this guy, either. :P
Also, he has an essay entitled "The Eternal Solipsism of the Female Mind". I'm not exactly an expert on misogynist literature, but this doesn't pass the smell test. I get the feeling his head isn't screwed on very tight.
And hey, there's nothing wrong with not masturbating if you don't like doing it; it's just that this guy is advocating giving up the practice to push an agenda. And that agenda is apparently "being a man-slut". :P
Yeah, yeah, Onan and whatnot, but that's always been something of a flimsy justification, and only the most devout Jews and Christians take it seriously.
Imi: Exactly. It was extended to masturbation over the years, most likely because someone considered it an overly pleasurable practice in a tradition steeped in asceticism and sacrifice. That and it's possible they assumed that men had a limited supply of sperm and would eventually become infertile like women, and masturbation was seen as a waste of resources.
Don't bother getting so angry at him, I'm pretty sure he just does this shit to appeal to actual crazy people and drum up ad revenue. He's a troll, basically.

There's nothing wrong with not masturbating. There's quite a bit wrong with trying to get everyone else to stop masturbating.
