5. What is your opinion on it? Is it a sin? Why or why not?? There is nothing in the Bible that says not to, so, no it is not a a sin. It is a natural method of release. I am a virgin and plan to stay that way until my wedding night.

[Just a Guy]

So is it safe to assume that since it's not mentioned in the Bible, it isn't a sin?

3. Do you masturbate? Yes
4. How often? Sometimes... like 2 or 3 times a week
5. What is your opinion on it? Is it a sin? Why or why not?? yes it's a sin because that's what my teachers say and I feel bad after I do it. I don't want to do it but sometimes it's just so hard not to. It's confusing to me.

[Daniella98]

2. Religion or Faith? Atheist
3. Do you masturbate? Yes
4. How often? More than once a day
5. What is your opinion on it? Is it a sin? Why or why not?? Dont know if I can speak of sin, cause its a term invented by the people who came up with the idea of religion. And I dont believe in any of that.

No god - no punishment for activities that aren't regulated by human law.

Its a pity some people restrain from some happy moments for the sake of religion.
Sorry to those I may have offended.

3. Do you masturbate? Yes
4. How often? Couple times a day
5. What is your opinion on it? Is it a sin? Why or why not? Of course it's not a sin, religion is made up so sins are made up. Nothing is truly a sin, because tins don't exist. Some people just call things sins because that's how they interpret them.

5. What is your opinion on it? Is it a sin? Why or why not?? A sin. Quran states "And those who guard their private parts, Except in the case of their wives or those whom their right hands possess – for these surely are not to be blamed, But he who seeks to go beyond this, these it is that go beyond the limits " and " And let those who do not find the means to marry keep chaste until Allah makes them free from want out of His grace. And (as for) those who ask for a writing from among those whom your right hands possess, give them the writing if you know any good in them, and give them of the wealth of Allah which He has given you; and do not compel your slave girls to prostitution, when they desire to keep chaste, in order to seek the frail good of this world's life; and whoever compels them, then surely after their compulsion Allah is Forgiving, Merciful"

Essentially this is what the Bible says. And those of you who call yourselves Christians, you should really read more. However, I don't know if jacking is a sin or not. Haven't decided yet.

2. Religion or Faith? Non-denominational, non-tradition Christian
3. Do you masturbate? Nope
4. How often? N/A
5. What is your opinion on it? Is it a sin? Why or why not?? I don't think it's a sin, unless you let it get to the point where you're choosing masturbation over family, friend, work, etc. - so, basically, as long as you don't become obsessed and start doing it constantly, and as long as you're not hurting anyone, I don't think it's a sin.

3. Do you masturbate? From time to time
4. How often? Eh, it's pretty rare. A few times a month, maybe.
5. What is your opinion on it? Is it a sin? Why or why not?? I feel like it has the potential to become an addiction/bad habit, and that you can mess your parts up if you do certain things (you can become what they call "sexually retarded"- especially women who use vibrators too much...Heh. I should stop masturbating.)

Is god gonna judge me harshly over it? Doubt it.

1. Age?-18
2. Religion or Faith?-Christian but not really serious about it.
3. Do you masturbate?-Yes
4. How often?-Very rarely
5. What is your opinion on it? Is it a sin? Why or why not??- It doesn't hurt anyone, and it is that persons body and business. However I am not a super religious person so I can't speak for that question as I can't relate or understand, so I can't say it's right or wrong to do.

[highschooler]

1. Age? 18
2. Religion or Faith? Reform Jewish
3. Do you masturbate? Yes
4. How often? 5 to 10 times a week
5. What is your opinion on it? Is it a sin? Why or why not?? Yes, according to the Bible, "spilling your seed" and "adultery" including "lust" are sins. And, yes, when I masturbate I think lustful thoughts and spill my seed. But do I give a damn what the Bible says about something as small as masturbation? No. We should not make mountains out of molehills in the Bible. The core lessons of goodness, charity, and study are important. Whether or not we jerk ourselves off is not.
