Hands Off

By Luke Maxwell

Sedona,AZ – Oh, come on. This can’t be true. It’s got to be some kind of a joke. Has puritanical America shot its final load, not just seeking to ban abortions but now adding banning male masturbation and making it a crime to do so?

Yup. You heard me right.

According to a recent article in THE Hill,  a Democratic Mississippi state senator introduced legislation that would make it unlawful for men to masturbate when alone and not trying to impregnate a woman.

It would be illegal to discharge genetic material outside of the womb.

Let that sink in all you men out there who might participate in that pastime.

The bill, dubbed the Contraception Begins at Erection Act, was introduced by state Sen. Bradford Blackmon in January.

Further, for those convicted of violating the law, financial penalties will be imposed and will gradually increase, according to the article.

The legislation establishes a graduated fine structure for violations, starting with a $1,000 penalty for a first offense, escalating to $5,000 for a second offense, and $10,000 for third or subsequent offenses.

Simply put, sex between the sexes can only be engaged in if the intention is to fertilize an ovum if this bill is passed in Mississippi.

The first thought that comes up is how would they go about enforcing it? Would they force men to wear an electronic device in their genitals that would alert the authorities when the law is broken?

Would they put cameras all over the house, even the closets, to catch the man in the act?

Let’s look at this from a Biblical perspective, as Mississippi is a faith-based state.

Perhaps this lawmaker who introduced the bill may not be as nuts as he seems.

According to Scripture, God’s first order to humanity was to “be fruitful and multiply.”

Wouldn’t spilling seed, be a waste of genetic material, go against God’s directive?

Those who masturbate when not having sex, can be seen as prefering pleasure over God’s directive to procreate. Potential life is wasted when men masturbate. We theoretically disobey God.

The bill does not forbid women to masturbate because it makes no difference if a woman has or does not have an orgasm.  If she is fertile at the moment and seed is introduced into the womb, she most likely will get pregnant. She would be fruitful and multiply, in line with God’s mandate, according to Scripture.

A man cannot fertilize a woman, unless he orgasms. Fair or not fair it doesn’t make a difference. That’ just the way it is.

If one wants to believe the lawmaker has an ulterior motive for the legislation, it may be because he wants to see more babies being born into this world, in our country.

It’s true there is a terrible lack of new babies being born but forcing people to only have sex for procreative purposes, might not be the solution America would prefer.

One has to ask, what’s coming next? Banning kissing and other acts of affection in public?

We have entered a strange new chapter in our world and the coming months will reveal, it’s only going to get stranger.
