You could call this a sequel to my last question, but I was genuinely curious. Question inspired by someone I know joking about being arrested for selling donuts to someone who died as a result because they didn't need junk food.

Rubbing one out lowers aggression, ergo masturbation is now mandatory. You all know what to do here, people.

Counterpoint: masturbation is genocide and menstruation is murder as it is a failure to bring a life to the world. Therefore everyone beyond puberty is guilty of murder by default.

Right? Especially the priests
“Oh my god ohmygod I’m going to hell! After I raped those three boys, I masturbated!”

Oh who are you kidding? It's no more guilt than we already had drilled into us by doing 12 years on the inside.
