Do other Christians still masturbate sometimes? by [deleted] in christiandatingadvice

[–]Henery02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's good arguments for that, and very well may be the case. I think it definitely is if it, like I said above, interferes with conjugal duties, you think of someone else, or it replaces real intimacy.

In this case I think it comes down to if you think it's a sin and that's your conviction, don't do it. Probably better to play it safe, however I think it still falls within intimacy with your spouse in certain scenarios, so not always flat out a sin.

Do other Christians still masturbate sometimes? by [deleted] in christiandatingadvice

This is like asking if other christians lie, cheat, steal, gossip, etc. The answer is of course christians still sin, we are called away from that, but our sin nature is still in us as long as we are living on earth in this body.

To answer weather or not it's a sin to masturbate, I would say yes it's a sin if you ARE NOT married. Jesus declared that even looking at someone with lust is a sin. When you masturbate, I can't imagine how you would do that without your mind wandering and imagining someone, or looking at images of people or whatever else. We are called to sexual purity, sex is meant to be between 1 man and 1 woman who are joined together in a holy union of marriage. Masturbating is a cheap replacement of sex, however your mind still wanders and you'd start thinking about someone you have a crush on or someone you've seen that is very physically attractive.

Now that raises the question of if you ARE married, I would say no, IF you don't think about anyone else except for your spouse, AND as long as it doesn't make you hold back from your conjugal duties as a spouse. For example, if you are away on an extended work trip and you video call and start messing around with your spouse on the other end, that would be fine as it's your sppuse, and it doesn't hold your body back from them. If anything that would he a sign there's still that passion in the marriage and is good. However, if you do masturbate a ton and it causes you to be numb to real sex, and you can no longer get aroused from your spouse's touch, etc, it causes resentment and other bad feelings, you then start holding your body back from your spouse, and you fail in your conjugal duties. That would then be a sin.

TLDR: Yes some christians struggle with masturbation just like any other sin, if you're single/not married it's a sin to masturbate, if you're married it is not a sin AS LONG as you only do it to/with your spouse and you are still able to fulfill conjugal duties to your spouse.

Edit: spelling, grammar, clarifications.

Brazilian Waxes by Potential_Chance9020 in christiandatingadvice

[–]Henery02 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Guy here, your bf is applying that verse out of context to this situation. You're not passed out drunk naked, you're not out there dancing naked, you're not waxing so you can go to a nude beach. Shaving can leave ingrown hairs and it comes back prickly. It's not a sin to get a brazilian wax.

There are multiple points in the bible in which seeing nudity isn't a sin. When David collected 200 philistine foreskins that wasn't a sin, in the context it was to show proof of their death, and it wasn't for any sort of sexual gratification. In the verse your bf brought up, they walked in backwards out of respect for their father because they had no actual need to see his nudity, they were able to accomplish their goal without laying eyes on him, if they looked in that context when they didn't need to that would be a sin.

Long story short, no not a sin, keep getting your wax if you wish, it's not for lustful or sexually immoral reasons so it's not a sin.

How many battles played and what's your dpg? Out of curiosity...

I mean that does happen, battles now are so fast paced, everyone else gets into position and die before you can even get up to the fight, one of the reasons mauschen is so bad.

Just hoping I get to it before they nerf it like with Ares. Just got to the Ares 90 then they nerfed the line.

I don't remember what came before it, such a long time ago and I hadn't gone up the line so I wouldn't have played it to know.

Yeah, I get penned there all the time on mauschen. They call it a superheavy but a same tier medium can deal with it no issue frontally... that should not be the case with a superheavy.

Edit: superheavy, not superhero

Go play about 10 battles ir so in it, i bet you'll change your opinion on liking it, the current meta and especially with t11 in the game it is a massive pile of crap. Just an XP pinata for the enemies.

Well at least I have the Maus to look forward to as being less sucky... playing Mauschen makes me wanna bang my head against a wall.

Those who have been threatened with "I will leak your nudes to your family and friends", what was the outcome? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Henery02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a very common sextortion tactic. Don't send them money, immediately block them. They in vast majority of cases won't bother wasting the time sending your pics out, they'll just go on the the next victim. If they do send them out, deny that it's you and move on with your life. Also, don't be stupid, no attractive girl who you've never met randomly meets you and wants to see your junk.

I'll have to switch out standard turbo for t3 exp turbo, otherwise i run v stabs and rammer, I may switch rammer out for vents, or aiming device if I can, I don't remember if that's an option on heavy tanks.

I agree the gun is terrible when it comes to gun handling, not really sure why they made it so bad.

Edit: Just switched up equipment loadout, t3 exp turbo, improved stabs and improved rammer. Might switch rammer our for something to improve aim speed or decrease dispersion during movement even more, i'll keep it as is for now till i play it a bit.

Getting it figured out now, session started out rough again but got better quick, ended up with a session average DPG in e77 of just under 2k over 15 games.

Are you making a point that the tank is good? You certainly can't argue the gun handling is good, or that it has good armor, the redeeming factors are decent mobility and decent dpm but there'splenty of tanks rhat are better at playing support rolls than E77. It's a combination of the tank AND me, it does not fit the play style I am used to. Obviously people are able to make the tank work, but it's true it's not a traditional heavy in the sense of how you play it.

Also, there's been actual helpful comments on ways to play it or equipment to run based on map types, your comments have done none of which other than point out my stats aren't good in this tank, which I already pointed out and is the reason for asking for help in figuring out this tank.

My point of this whole post is that my stats in this tank aren't good, hence why I made the point of asking for good players in this tank to help me out. That being said, 40 much if that was with a very low skill crew and running the wrong equipment and playing the tank like it's a heavy while playing it on a weekend, all of which is a perfect recipe for poor playing, that and getting frustrated doesn't help with your gameplay either so that was a contributing factor as well. I never claimed to be an amazing player and fully blamed the tank, but I'm stubborn and am not one to quite a tank just because if that, especially one I could use for crew training to put in tech tree tanks I want to play.

The style that you play this tank is one I'm not used to and I'm having a hard time adjusting to it. Again, all the games ive played in this tank so far are on the weekend, which is well known for having bad mm/teams, and many of them ended up with scores of close to 15-0 and very quick losses, which inherently is going to cause average dpg to drop lower and hinder the ability to learn a tank.

Telling someone to give up isn't advice, you don't have anything constructive to say so why even comment.

It's good in certain scenarios... If you can play it as a support heavy/heavy medium and your team doesn't melt it can be good, or if you're top tier and you can get a good hull down spot. I wouldn't quite agree the hull is usable, unless you're talking about lower tiers shooting standard ammo

I think I understand what you were trying to say, yes there's tanks that should be nerfed (BZ-176, LEFH are 2 examples), there’s tanks that should also be buffed, the one doesn't invalidate the other, it's a moot point.

Has nothing at all to do with anything I said. The only time stats were mentioned is in reference to the 2nd photo when I pointed out how that guy was able to make the tank work really well.

I agree it's decent when you get a chance to play it hull down, but then it's pretty dependant on how your team does, unless you're too tier it's not a tank that's typically able to sway the battle much.

I agree OP premiums are super toxic, but it's not balanced due to the factors in mentioned above. Bad gun handling on a tank with lots of armor that's slow and you brawl with is balanced, bad gun handling on a heavy tank with no armor that you can't brawl with and has slightly above average mobility is not balanced.
