No, and I don't understand why people keep asking this quesion.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with masturbating and it can be good for you, especially if you aren't getting lucky.

Lust is a sin so yes, but masturbation by itself is not a sin.  You can lust just walking down the street.  Just learn to masturbate without lusting and you'll do fine.  Concentrate on your actions at the time.

i was under the impression that masturbation is a sin no matter what you use because it means you're lusting after something. but i say if it makes you happy, do it. don't deny yourself just because someone else doesn't like it.

Mathew 5:27-28 "You have heard it said that you shall not commit adultery BUT I say to you that everyone who looks on a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart". So much for pornography.\nSex for pleasure (outside marriage) I Corinthians 6:9 "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God.  Do NOT be deceived, neither fornicators, nor idolators, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, .....  will inherit the kingdom of God".   So much for fun sex.

Depends on who you ask. In some religious circles, it's considered sinful. Many psychologists, doctors, and researchers say it helps relieve tension. No medical research has proved any link to mastrubation and blindness. A recent bit of medical research indicated that it may help prevent prostate cancer. In the end, it's what you are willing to believe, I suppose

Go ask the Mormons they will hook you up with a great false teaching about degrees of heaven. You can't be a little sinful. Like you can't be a pregnant. You are  in sin or you aren't  No unclean thing can enter the Kingdom of God.. One little patch of filth makes you dirty..  Jim

No need to feel guilty.\n\nAdultery...fornication...pro mis cuity...one night stands...premarital sex...Now these are the things you should feel guilty about. \n\nIf it keeps you from participating in that list of things, consider it a good.  \n\nYou know the Bible doesn't condemn mastrubating. It only condemns having lustful, unclean thoughts while doing it. \n\nNow there's the trick, to satisfy yourself physically without having impure thoughts... \n\nThat means dude, you have to drop the porn, XXX movies, and even the fantasies about that girl next door.  \n\nAnd keep it in check...if you can't go an hour or so without thinking about it, something is wrong.

Christian churches have changed the meaning over time. If you go from what is written without interpretation, pre-marital sex and masturbation would be two areas humans could participate in without sinning. Because we now understand the effects of certain behavior that can lead us to do other things, masturbation and premarital sex are now frowned upon. Especially premarital sex which can lead to births out of wedlock. So many churches se premarital sex as wrong as adultry. Masturbation is getting closer to being called a sin because of the thoughts many have while doing it. Which goes with what jesus said about lusting on a person in your mind then you have sinned already.

First of all, masturbation is wrong! (and I am not a catholic) the fact that everyone does something does not make it the right thing...\n I read this book, sex sins and your soul, you need to read that book, it says a lot about this topic. Masturbation kinda takes over your soul, making you a slave to it, so you cant do without it.\n The picture the writter painted of the masteur beast ( from whence the name masturbation was derived) is a human down to the waist with no hands, then an animal from waist down, with a long tail, let me break it down for you.\n The human from waist up has no hands, thus the beast controls the use of your physical hands. the beast from waist down has a long tail so no flies hand around its backside that is why one can masturbate for a long while and not be found out, even by the persons spouse.\n The way out: take control of your mind and body, know that you are in charge! No matter how hard the urge gets, force your self to get over it. Counselling may not help as the counsellor may also be a victim!!!\n\nAnd yes, it is self abuse as it makes you unable to appreciate fully the beauty of real sex, as God designed it to be. \n Everyone ought to really read this.

Masturbation (for both men and women) is haraam (forbidden) in Islam based on the following evidence:\n\n    First from the Qur'aan:\n\n    Imam Shafi'i stated that masturbation is forbidden based on the following verses from the Qur'aan (interpretation of the meaning):\n\n    "And those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts, from illegal sexual acts). Except from their wives or (the captives and slaves) that their right hands possess, - for them, they are free from blame. But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors." 23.5-7 Here the verses are clear in forbidding all illegal sexual acts (including masturbation) except for the wives or that their right hand possess. And whoever seeks beyond that is the transgressor.\n    "And let those who find not the financial means for marriage keep themselves chaste, until Allah enriches them of His bounty." 24.33. This verse also clearly orders whoever does not have the financial means to marry to keep himself chaste and be patient in facing temptations (including masturbation) until Allah enriches them of His bounty.\n\n    Secondly, from the Sunnah of the Prophet  (peace be upon him):\n    Abdullaah ibn Mas'ood said, "We were with the Prophet while we were young and had no wealth whatsoever. So Allah's Messenger said, "O young people! Whoever among you can marry, should marry, because it helps him lower his gaze and guard his modesty (i.e. his private parts from committing illegal sexual intercourse etc.), and whoever is not able to marry, should fast, as fasting diminishes his sexual power." Bukhari:5066. The hadeeth orders men who are not able to marry to fast despite the hardship encountered in doing so, and not to masturbate despite the ease with which it can be done.\n    There are additional evidences that can be cited to support this ruling on masturbation, but due to the limited space we will not go through them here. Allah knows what is best and most correct.

That will be between you and God.  Only God can see a mans heart.  We do not see as God sees.  Even God said it was an abomination, however there is only one unforgiveable sin that will keep you out of heaven and that is the cursing of the Holy Spirit.  I don't agree with your lifestyle and choose not to have it forced on me and my family to accept because to us it is NOT natural, however, again, only God can see a mans heart.

The Bible does not address the issue directly, however it does mention that having impure thoughts is looked down upon, which is often a part of masturbation.  In Catholicism they also approach male masturbation with the thought that "spilling the seed" should be looked down upon as the sperm should have only been used to further the continuation of humanity.  I don't particularly think that makes any sense as the male body continually makes semen for a reason, that it is replenishable, etc.\n\nYou really just have to go with your gut on this one.

The only way a man can legally have sex (by Biblical standards) is to do it in the institution of marriage. All other sexual encounters outside of marriage is sin. Promiscuous sex is not condoned by God. We have many in this country that are living together, having sex, families, etc. without being married. The Bible clearly defines this activity as an abomination. Sorry, I didn't write the rulebook, but you asked. I am 60 years old, and I have been married to the same woman for 35 years, and have never had sex with anyone else. God's rules work if you let them. I am proud of marriage, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you for asking - it allowed me to respond!!

No sane person would feel that masturbation is a sin. It is the ultimate in safe sex.\nIn order for it to be a sin it would have to hurt someone.  Who does it harm?\nYou do not "lose eggs" when you menstruate.  By the time of menstruation the egg (which is only viable for about 24 hours) has "died" a long time ago ago and is just one of the things that your body is sloughing off.\nI am sorry that someone has given you such bad information that you think these ordinary bodily functions could be a sin.  Relax, they are not.\nBlessings\nLady Trinity~

Because being naked in Heaven would be sacreligious!! :O\n\nBut seriously........Heaven is not tangible. You can't reach out and touch Heaven, see Heaven. It is much more of an abstract. We hear of this promise of Heaven. But until we actually reach our own Heaven, we'll never "see" it for what it truly is.

Masturbation is a normal thing for people to do. Nothing harmful about spanking the monkey every now and than. It said to be good to masturbate to get old sperm out and new sperm in if you don't have sex yet in life.
