Why is masturbation considered taboo?

[ChurchOfSubgenius]

Masturbation (among males) is by far and large one of the most hypocritical issues in society.

We have been taught for the last 20 years or so that it is normal and "ok" but if you are "caught" doing it ...or even suspected you could be shunned by a whole social group (as happened to a guy I went to middle school with)

"Oh really? you don't? ..............OMG, what have I done!"

As I said in this thread already: Religious freaks.

no, I don't think so, it's more of a "if you do it, you are gay or depraved" kind of thing.

To dissuade teenage boys from doing it in public.

it's more, you're not enough of a man to "get some" so you have to just "do" youself type thing.

i dunno bout u but none of my friends and or social group consider it taboo, i mean we dont do it in public or near our friends but everyone knows that everyone else does it, its natural and we joke about it all the time. i think the bad thing about being caught isnt that u were masturbating isnt that u got caught doing it its just that your friend has now caught u with your dick in your hand, i mean that cant be a good picture.
