According to the bible, it is a sin for men to masturbate. I don't believe that Female Masturbation is brought up.

I'm a Christian, but I'd be that Christianity declares that about 90% of sex is sinful.  I can't see how it was a sin to sleep with my wife a few months before we were going to get married anyway...Sex is not a dirty little act that should be shunned by everyone...but the church thinks so.

Hi. I am a Christian woman. I am married now, but did have sex before marriage. I was not a Christian at that time, but did struggle with temptations as a Christian before marriage. I give all glory and credit to Jesus for giving my husband and I the strength to resist temptation before marriage. Our first kiss as a couple was at the altar.\nI think that a vast majority of people who claim Christianity as their religion either do not understand their claim well enough for it to be true and sincere in them or they are too caught up in the temptations of life and not caught up in the focus and strength of Christianity - namely Jesus Christ and His accomplishments in life, death, and the resurrection.\n\nIt is disturbing the number of people who claim allegiance to Christ and then fail to follow Him in His commands. None of us is perfect. Biblically we are all sinners in need of our Savior, Christ, and this issue is yet further proof that becoming a Christian isn't an instant fix of flaws. Christianity is meant to be a process of growing in relationship with the Savior who saved us once from eternal damnation in hell and is saving us daily from our own weakness toward sin which brings death into our lives (although some sins bring death of emotional, relational, social, spiritual, etc. not just the regular physical death you think of.) Those people who are truly "saved" and living daily in a relationship with Jesus Christ through His presence in our lives will WANT to or be motivated to "do the right thing" because we want to please Him. Those who claim Christianity as only a Sunday service or social lifestyle simply will not find the strength or reason, when it comes down to temptation, to do the right thing, or they do it for the wrong reason only to give in later. The reason is that they have not really "meet" Jesus Christ and confronted their need for salvation in a sincere way or they have, but they choose the religious box over the relationship that changes a life.\n\nI hope that helps a little. I applaud you in your stand for No Sex Before Marriage. That is an honorable decision that is too foreign in today's society.

The act of sex is giving yourself to each other. When you give yourslef to another person in that way you leave a part of yourself with them not just physically but spiritually.  They likewise leave part of themselves with you.\n\nAs such loving making is something that ought to be for someone you truly love, someone you believe you will be spending the rest of your life with.\n\nThe bible is fairly clear on this matter. Fornication is wrong. It is something for marriage.\n\nThe next point is do you want the possible responsibility of children. If pregnancy results what will you both do. Marry? Are you prepared to marry each other. If not why are you having sex? If yes then why not wait until your married?\n\nAnd it is not really sex, it is loving making. If it is just sex, then are you truly in love?\n\nWaiting for that right person until marriage brings greater joy, it brings the knowledge that you have self control and not just to lustful animals. As a man it shows you have self control and respect for girlfriends chastity. It shows your love and respect for her exceeds all else.\n\nBy each of you holding off until the rings are on your fingers shows a mutual respect for each other, family and God.\n\nSo don't just go for it. That's what the dogs next door do. \n\nWeigh everything up consider all the costs.\n\nIn the end however, the decision is for you and your girlfriend.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nYour friend no matter what you decide.........\n\nScruff

Sex is moral as long as it is between a husband and wife. Doesn't anyone take God's word for anything? God made a man and a woman to be together  as husband and wife. To share with no one else. To reproduce. That is his plan. But way too many don't keep their vows and way too many kids and adults are experimenting with different partners of same sex and opposite sex, and then everyone wants to know why God has let them catch a venereal disease or aids or countless other things that come from sleeping around. His law was simple. Thou shalt not commit adultery. And this applies to people who aren't even married.

as far as i'm concerned, i cannot see how its breaking any of the 10 commandments.  \n\nas soon as you do it instead of going to church, i suppose you could be worshiping a false idol in some peoples eyes.  but they're dorks.  \n\nits also considered a sin to walk around naked to some people.  \n\ndidnt god make us in his image?  why are we ashamed of what god gave us?  seriously!  it doesnt make any sense.  Christians are always going back on what they say.  its just dumb.

What, did you just wake up! The real hypocrisy is being married to someone you don't want to be married to, and further, being sexually frustrated. Loosen up for Christ's sake! You don't have to be a Christian to say you're one! What your question anyway?"

NO. not at all. First of all, I would like to congratulate you two. You're a match made in heaven. Basically, the bible states that sex is a blessing given to married couples. If you're just living together and not having sex, that's absolutely perfect. It's the most exciting thing you can have once you get married. But if you guys are married but not having sex... then there really is a problem behind that. Try talking to your partner about that.

That is the thing PEOPLE say it is a sin. The sexual act itself is for procreation as you said. The recreational part comes in because otherwise no would ever do it and then where would this world be besides less populated. \n As for birth control, well every religion has it own beliefs on it, whether it is abstinence or rhythm method or birth control. This is a choice that gee whiz GOD decided it was up to women to have to decide how to deal with. Or was and is it the MEN who leave that up to women in the majority of cases. As if men today would take care of ten or more kids (okay yes there are some that would devote their lives to their children,but they are far an few between) no this world has become so materialistic that even those that want more children decide they CAN'T afford it. \n As far as I understand and from the many things I have seen in my life, homosexuality can not possibly be a sin as these men and women were born into this and not given a choice in the matter. Okay yes in reality they can chose to be unhappy, but isn't that also a lousy thing when you think about it. They have to give up being happy and in love but yet GOD gives the gift of life for all to live and be as happy as possible. To live life as fully as possible, each and every human. Then He says "well I made you this way but it is a sin." So does that mean God makes sin? I thought that was the devil's doing? I certainly understand your confusion. \n I will close with one quote from a  very well thought out movie (IMHP)"God, He's got a great sense of humor. Take sex for example. There's nothing funnier than the ridiculous faces you people make mid-coitus."\n Now i step down from my soap box......

First of all, let me tell you this....A sincere, faithful Christian who practices what God/Jesus really teaches in the Bible, would not belittle you or judge you.  The Bible tells us to first remove the "sin" from ourselves before we go pointing fingers and judging others.  ALL of us are sinners, NONE of us have the right to belittle, humiliate, harrass or put down anyone else.  The way to spread God's love and word is not through hard pressure but, rather, gentle discussion, an offering of sharing and prayer.  Although I don't feel it would be right to report them, I would nicely ask them to stop and to go back and read their Bibles about how it tells us to be Christ's disciples.  God bless you and I pray you will find your faith in your own journey in your time and in your way!  And, by the way, even Jesus has a sense of humor...he has to!  Just because we are Christians doesn't mean we have to be prudes or "serious" all the time.  I can laugh it up with the best of them and Jesus is #1 in my life!

Religion often makes us feel guilty about the most common human experiences, usually related to sex. This clearly contradicts nature. Sex is sex. If you're of the legal age, with another consenting adult, and aware of the risks/protection, then knock yourself out. This really has nothing to do with morals, mostly just religion.

is sex your only road to happiness. That would make sense as to why you have blown it so far out of proportion.\n\nDo you binge drink? I'd start with changing that. Imulsive people are easier lays though. But why do you think demoralizing christians is sexually good? Rape is a power strugle, and the endorphine release of sex reinforces what ever kind of sex you try. While sex as an expression of love makes it an unselfish act. Yet, sex outside of love is only limited by what you try.

So you are saying only those married in the church should have sex? In other words, anyone married in another religions ceremony will not go to your heaven and be accepted by your God?\n\nI am floored by this narrow thought process. I wouldn't believe in a God that would be so closed minded about the joys our bodies bring us. Why do you think we enjoy s e x? Your God made these bodies according to you right? Then why did he make them so responsive to the act? \n\nI give up....according to you...I am going to your hell. That said, thank the Goddess I don't believe in your hell.\n\nGood Luck.

dont worry about what people think. if you know in your heart that you feel it is right not to have sex,then your right. the only reason that they think its stupid or wrong is because they cant turn back the pages and become a virgin again. it is much better to know that your thoughts and emotions are more important the sex. And if you find another person who is willing to wait as well then youll know that if something happened and you werent able to have sex that they just might stay with you.

The Word says that the marriage bed is undefiled. Note that is the marriage bed, God designed sex for an intimate part of marriage, not the weekend.  People act like we are the ones that came up with sex, like Adam and Eve were standing around in the garden bored and Adam's like "Hey, I got an idea".   Sex is a wonderful thing given to us by God to be used in the confines of marriage and yes, it should definately be fun.  As far as the sex shops go, I think alot of them contain pornography, and as much as some may hate to hear it, it is a sin, so that's why I'm against them personally.  But there are places on the net for Christian couples looking to spice things up.

aha! the preacher's in town. sir, with due respect it is no one's prerogative to classify sin or non-sin like this. how about sex without consent with your 'legal' partner of the opposite sex (if you strictly follow the 'natural order')? is that all right to do so? and to mention the countries you are talking about, i think people there are as much randy as anywhere else in the world. maybe a little more repressed too. but all that is changing with the societies opening up to the idea of discussion on sex and sexual health of a society. the last thing we want is a pseudo pundit trying to make matters worse for those who feel there is no release.

WE are taught in scripture that we are to love the sinner and hate the sin.  So you are not wrong to feel the way you do.  And I agree it is destroying the foundations of civilization, as it always has every great civilization in history before they came crumbling down as it became more acceptable.
