Upsar, достаточно яро против онанизма (официально) выступают католическая и ортодоксально-иудейская церкви.
The Catholic Church has been one of the most outspoken groups condemning masturbation. Catholic teaching is that sexual activity is intended for conception, thus masturbation is an immoral sexual practice because it does not permit conception. In addition, the Catholic Church teaches that masturbation breeds lust and selfishness, which takes one further from God. To illustrate, on Dec 29th 1975 Pope Paul wrote this in his Persona Humana - Declaration on Certain Questions Concerning Sexual Ethics:
“...masturbation is an intrinsically and seriously disordered act...the deliberate use of the sexual faculty outside normal conjugal relations essentially contradicts the finality of the faculty. For it lacks the sexual relationship called for by the moral order, namely the relationship which realizes �the full sense of mutual self-giving and human procreation in the context of true love.’ All deliberate exercise of sexuality must be reserved to this regular relationship.”
Other groups that continue to publicly denounce masturbation based on the Onan tradition include Mormons, Orthodox Jews, and Muslims. Traditional African religions are more open-minded about masturbation. Asian religions also appear to be a more tolerant, especially of female masturbation. Male masturbation is thought by Asian religions to be harmful because of the loss of semen, long considered a vital substance that is spiritually advantageous if kept inside the body.
онанозависимый, таким образом, верующему онанисту целесообразно обратиться к протестантскому мейнстриму, реформисткому иудаизму, традиционным африканским или азиатским религиям (но в последнем случае придется овладеть методами безэякулятного онанизма).
