My question is about masturbation as i find is my weakest link, specially regarding the argument that masturbating thinking in women or with images of women is degrading to them by converting them into a sex object. Argument to which i hypocritically agree. My questions are, is this argument reasonable? are there other ways to approach that action? Is there a proper rebuttal besides the slippery-slope of "If it is not with woman, guys will start looking for pictures of animals or ..."?

"It's degrading to women", oh now we're not even allowed to think about it? This feminazi shit is starting to become a religion it seems. What next, send us to hell for thinking about our neighbor's wife? Pffft!
There's this approach: It's your body and your mind and nobody else has anything to do with it, so you shouldn't give a shit about them.

I can't prove that. It's a belief I think most people will accept as what scientists and mathematicians call "a primitive notion." That means an idea based on common sense or obviousness.

Drop the guilt. My weakest link is cookies and milk at 2am... and then I masturbate.
