You seem to know a lot about "jerking off in your mother's basement."
Is that a euphemism or a dysphemism, or a cry for help?
Maybe he was insulting your mother?
Less unmet needs = More freedom.
Murder is so bad that you can't even consent to it. That's not true for sex.
All you’ve proven is that it’s illegal, not that it’s worse. The latter is a moral judgement which your analysis fails to address.
The resolution is negated.
Yes, there is a lot to be said for self control.
And my Mum has been dead for 19 years, so she certainly doesn't give a fuck about you.
Is it worse to commit suicide or jerk off?
Some people do both.
SPOILERS BELOW,
STAR WARS,
RAVAGES OF TIME,
ATTACK ON TITAN.
Some people would rather resist and die, than be raped, I'd imagine.
Some would rather kill a family member, than allow them to be dishonored.

Or rather they and family die, than live and die as a slave,

Course, history has a way of becoming embellished.

I'm also reminded of Ravages of Time (Manhua)
After defeated Warlord Lu Bu begs for his life.
Cao Cao speaks,
"Is a true hero unafraid of death?
What are you?
Is this the Lu Bu amongst mortals that everyone reveres?
A hero does not fear death.
I say that's only what simpletons think a hero is.
It's but another masterpiece by men of letters.
They don't understand a very important logic.
What good is a reputation if you are dead?
A true hero understands that one can accomplish much more by staying alive.
In the past we had Gou Jian surviving as a peasant, and today we have Lu Bu begging for his life.
Your courage, surpasses all the shallow men here.
It surpasses the reputation which they hold dearer than life.
Of all the heroes in the world, who is more fearless than you on the battlefield?
And who is more unafraid of death?
And of all the heroes, who dares to trample on their pride like you have?
God of War Lu Bu,
You truly embody the essence of brains and brawn.
A paramount state of cultivation.
Too bad we walk a feudal path;
A shallow path.
Winner takes all. A pitiful reality."
- Cao Cao
"I know what you mean.
So then,
Use my petty achievements to show off your glory."
- Lu Bu
Lu Bu at the end, appears to realize he will not be spared, and accepts his death with grace.
Fine then, execute me, and brag to the world of having defeated me.

Ecclesiastes brings up idea that a living idea is better than a dead lion,
Though I am not sure we are supposed to agree.

Voldemort and Dumbledore disagree on whether there was anything worse than death.

I wonder myself at times, 'when we exist, when we die.
From a certain point of view, as Obi-Wan said.
"Your father... was seduced by the Dark Side of the Force. He ceased to be the Jedi Anakin Skywalker and "became" the Sith Darth Vader. When that happened, the good man who was your father was destroyed. So, what I told you was true... from a certain point of view."

Though I sometimes wonder it more literally.
Question of identity as SatanLucy reminded me of recently.

There is something we admire in fierce determination and pride unto death, at times.

. . .
Though I don't mean to say that fierce determination through life and enduring others attempts at wronging them, is wrong either.
Just different viewpoints and values, either direction quite interesting, and has their strengths.

there is no shame in gooning.
Is it worse to commit suicide or jerk off?
Apparently both will keep you out of heaven, so they’re equal.
Apparently both will keep you out of heaven, so they’re equal.
If you cant be gooning in heaven, then why would one even want to go there?
What's worse though?
Murder is worse than gooning, in my opinion. But some people say gooning is worse because it kills millions of persons in sperm.
Sperm cells aren't people.
Sounds like unproved claim.
