Masturbating Bad?

[GingerKid123]

Ok...I am a devout christian and im just wondering if masturbation is considered wrong in my religion? i wuld ask my pastor, but its a rather hard topic to talk about to other people if you know what i mean.:what:

[Sol90]

Yes I understand. From what I know it generally involves lust and fantasizing which would be considered wrong.

Gotta do what you gotta do. The semen will find its way out though wet dreams if you dont.

Depending on how strict your local church/ congregation are some consider it a sin, however masturbation is something that ever guy does. There is a saying "95% of guys masturbate, the other 5% lie".

There is absolutely nothing wrong with masturbating, it is a stress reliever, it is a safe form of sex, no risk of STI's if your on your own with your hand. There is no need to feel guilty about it, how can you tell a future sexual partner what you like if you have never figured it out.

It also can stop you from having "wet dreams" ejaculating during your sleep, which will then possibly stop you from an embarrassing situation. If you are going to masturbate then make sure its in privacy as its your own personal time

Do not feel bad about it AT ALL. :P It's healthy and really is good for you! I don't see how such a thing could be considered a sin. Surely if God loves you, he would want you to enjoy your body and to be happy. On the other hand, it says in the bible that you shouldn't spill your seed, and waste it. Seems completely fine to me, and if I were a christian, I wouldn't listen to what the others told me.

If you are a very serious one then yes, if you are jsut christian than no, just save your self for marrage

Some people may consider it as lust,which is one of the seven deadly sins, but lust is really just an "intense desire" which doesnt necessarily have to be sexual desire either. So as long as it's not excessive, I think, as far as your religion goes, you would be fine.

Personally, I say it's healthy :)

[chris96]

yeah i guess it would be considered lust which is a sin... but does it really matter? you're gonna cum anyway through wet dreams

That's not a very clear answer. Things don't become sins just because someone is a more "serious" Christian, it's either a sin or it isn't.

Whether masturbation is a sin or not is debated by Christians. I don't know myself, but plenty of things we do daily are sinful and we don't give it a second thought, so why deprive yourself of something that feels so good?

What the hell are you on about? You can't be half in the puddle and half dry at the same time.

If you are a very serious one then yes, if you are jsut christian then no.
