Fapping Good Actually: Read the Bible + Research
In this thought-provoking episode, Malcolm and Simone Collins delve into the complex topic of sexuality from both scientific and religious perspectives. They challenge traditional interpretations of religious texts and explore how modern contexts might necessitate a reevaluation of sexual ethics. The discussion covers:
* The impact of pornography restrictions on society
* Masturbation and its effects on mental and physical health
* Biblical interpretations of sexuality and their modern applications
* The concept of separating pleasure from procreation in sexual ethics
* The potential benefits of a more nuanced approach to sexual morality
* Statistical data on sexual behaviors and preferences
* The role of technology in changing sexual norms and practices
This video offers a fresh, evidence-based perspective on a often controversial topic, aiming to reconcile religious values with modern realities and scientific understanding.
Malcolm Collins: [00:00:00] Why are all of these cultures like breaking apart ? It's because they have equated premarital sexual intercourse as exactly the same. I moral negative weight.
As masturbation, and that's really effing stupid. It made a lot of sense before porn existed, because if you look at the lines, and we'll get to in the Bible about this, they don't talk about masturbation, they talk about prostitutes. Seeing a prostitute actually is just as bad or worse than premarital sex.
You know, from a disease risk perspective, from a pregnancy risk perspective, there is a reason that historically you needed to warrant against all of this stuff. Right? But in a modern context,. when you put restrictions on porn, you increase the rate of sex crimes.
Speaker 5: Just saying, what works on planet Gelgamech isn't necessarily going to work for the rest of us here on Earth.
You see, that's the problem we're having here.
Malcolm Collins: For every 10 percent of increase in internet access in the U S there is a [00:01:00] corresponding regional decrease of 7.
3 percent of grape cases
Speed of light Trekkie! What are you doing? That's gross! Trekkie
Malcolm Collins: UCLA researchers found that sex criminals, on average, consume less porn than the average person and started consuming it at a later age than the average non sex criminal.
Within the Czech Republic, where porn was illegal , then legalized this decriminalization of pornography caused in one year grapes to decline by 37% and child sexual abuse by about 50%.
Similar results were seen when the porn laws were loosened in Denmark, Japan, China, and Hong Kong. Wow. Anyone who is pro pornography restrictions is functionally also pro child. Great
Simone Collins: So the [00:02:00] Bible
Malcolm Collins: says it's best, By their fruits you will know them. How do you know the correct interpretation? It works. If it leads to mass child grief and cover ups, It's not the correct interpretation.
The Bible tells us that. Easy peasy. Right, guys?
Speaker 5: I'm just trying to say that if we don't change then we might lose everyone to atheism. What exactly do you suggest we change, well, for one, no sex with boys.
Speaker 6: The
Speaker 7: holy document of law states that a priest, cannot get married, so where are we to get our sex?
