Happeh,
Most things done to excess tend to incur unfortunate side effects. However, blindness as a direct result of excessive masturbation is not one of them.
The medical view (does not cause blindness) -

Does not cause blindness or any disease -

No connection with blindness -

Blindness through masturbation has no basis in truth -
http://www.coolnurse.com/masturbation.htm
And hundreds of other sites that all appear to carry the same message – masturbation is healthy, many say it should be encouraged, and all vehemently state it does not cause blindness..
How many times do I need to say incompetence or liars?
How many times do I need to say plot to make people weak and powerless?
Have you personally tested out any of what is said on those links? Do you know for a fact they are right?
Why are those links from unknown people on the internet any more trustworthy than me, an unknown person on the internet?

Happeh – your speculation appears to be baseless and has no credibility. I could not find a single case linking masturbation with blindness.
Here we go again. People telling me about my theory while completely ignoring everything I said. Did you read the study about Viagra and blindness? Did you watch the video I posted? Do you believe that there is only one way to learn, the science way, or do you believe there are many ways to learn?

If you still believe you have a case then I strongly recommend you conduct a methodical scientific study and write an appropriate paper and have it peer reviewed by scientists working in the same field. Come back to us when you have completed that work. In the absence of that your assertions here seem to be pointless and you are highly unlikely to make any progress or achieve any interest from anyone here.
Boy. You sure do take charge for everyone don't you? I never saw you post in this thread before and now you are speaking for everyone.
As for your suggestion, I don't think so. I am not like you. I don't need approval or permission to believe what I do. I know what I know. If anyone would good faith work with me, instead of spending every single post complaining how no one agrees with me, it would be easy to settle.

Since this topic direction has also veered completely away from any religious connection I will close this thread shortly. If you still wish to pursue this further then I recommened one of the science forums.
Ah ha. Always happens. Some know it all who knows it all stops a discussion. It has happened to me in many forums. Some authoritative person needs to exert their authority. Even though the forums are for discussion, this authoritative person feels they are god. They know exactly what is correct and what is not in the scientific world. Since they are god, they allow only what they feel is correct.
It is called censorship. It is called stopping an alternative opinion based on nothing more than your desire to be right. Not based on the evidence at hand, or based on any clear conclusion of the subject.
Back in the old days, you would have been a member of the Catholic Church torturing heretics for questioning Church dogma.
EDIT: Hello. I believe in being honest. I also believe that people can say things to each other and still continue a discussion. There have been many things said between me and others. I continue to speak to them.
I am leaving what I wrote because I wrote it and believed it. I hope that if you have a different opinion, you can see that it is better to leave the door open and continue the discussion than to slam the door shut.
