Hey come'On guys,

If I'm not wrong, if you don't musterbate, I'm sure you'll still hav Wet Dreams.... .

I doN noe bout gals but I believe you guys do, heehee... .
There is actually a need to discharge ur semen once in a while, so you may choose to musterbate or have wet dreams instead.

I would prefer to musterbate, Cos I can CONTROL myself and think of who I want to musterbate with, heehee.... .

Ya, LUST is one of the 7 deadly sins, but who cares? Who really cares?

However, toO much musterbation will affect ur vision in the Long run and also the physical strenght in yOu, so think about it!

lawlipop SG

Its good not to do it, I won't say its a sin, but craving to do it, or wanting to do it everyday or often enough is probably a sin.

Lust is sin. You will know whether you are lusting or just pure must.....

KNNBCCB TO HELL WITH ALL YOUR DEBATE. JUST MASTURBATE, HAVE SEX AND ENJOY LIFE YOU BLOODY FOOLS

BillyBong SG

vulgarities aren't necessary. If u dun wanna contribute to the debate constructively, then buzz off. No one asked u to come here.

It is a way of life to explore our body in terms of health, but like all things do not exceed the limit because it will drain away one's vitality easily!

However in the process of it, lust or desire attachment is involved! Indulging too much in sensual pleasures will only bring about more sufferings later. Unless you can practise it as a natural task like clearing our small and big intestines(which is good for our health by disposing all the filthy matters) or without acting on the basis of attachment and lust or knowing how to make use of it as part of spiritual training, then it's better not to be too involve in it.

It is advisable to be involve in a healthy relationships and in healthy activities like sports.

The wrongfulness of lust is reducible to this: that venereal satisfaction is sought for either outside wedlock or, at any rate, in a manner which is contrary to the laws that govern marital intercourse. Every such criminal indulgence is a mortal sin, provided of course, it be voluntary in itself and fully deliberate. This is the testimony of St. Paul in the Epistle to the Galations, v. 19:

"Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, immodesty, luxury, . . . Of the which I foretell you, as I have foretold to you, that they who do such things shall not obtain the kingdom of God."

However I do disagree with the Catholic churches view on this matter.. The church always seems to take the Bible out of context. That verse did not say that masterbation was a sin. However, it is a sin to lust, so just don't think about anyone when you do it. This may be difficult, and if you can't help yourself, then maybe you should quit. Secondly, the Catholic church although Christians, seem very wrong. I don't think their should a be pope due to the fact that well, even though I'm sure the pope believes fully in God, he does not know exactly what everything in the Bible means. Most believe that God empowers the pope so he only says accurate information, I don't think thats true. I believe the pope is just like you an I. Catholic's believe everything the pope says is absolute truth. Personally I listen to the Bible, not the pope. The Bible specifically says fornification, which means sexual intercourse between partners who are not married to each other. This is not masterbation unless you consider your hand a partner. I think that is the most accurate answer you can get. Unless their is another verse that contradicts this.

As for the people who don't believe in the Bible at all. This is what I have to say. Their are many, many reasons why this Earth could not have been created through evolution. Too much information contradicts that theory. Creation is definately the only sensible alternative, and well, as far as all the religions go, the Bible seems to be the only believable one, even though it is still very difficult because it seems soo unreal.

YourFather SG

ROTFLOL, this is the most fucked up debate yourfather has ever seen! for christ’s sake, dont believe those fools that say what “bible say no masturbation or such crap”, EVERYBODY needs sexual relief, its in our hormones! (those who say they they dont masturbate are fucking liars:-) If god didn’t want masturbation, why let us have sexual feelings?(duh?) Whatever they say, the bible is really made by man, as god is made by man.

dearon SG

Sin or not sin ? tat really depends on you. if u are really holy den it's a sin but if u are not holy it's not a sin. masterbation is the fastest way to relieve stress temperory sexual drive. it's much safer den too haf sex, so masterbation is not a sin but don't over do it, coz it'll affect ur daily life. Btw masterbation cause no harm to ur health so enjoy it while doing it. whether u r 11th grade ot other grade, juz enjoy the moment when u are masterbating. but don't take masterbating into the next step which might be u wan someone to help u masterbate (petting some may call it). coz petting may lead to more serious things such as heavy petting which is might cause unwanted prenancy.

I don't know whether musterbation is a sin or not, but I am interested to find out whether musterbation will hurt us, be it physically or mentally. And what if people who doesn't have sex life and don't musterbate, what will happen to them, in short terms and long terms, say, a year, or tens of years.

Please enlighten me and everyone if you know of any websites or books that can answer the above questions, thanks.

dun worri….it is yr body…no one can say it is wrong…onli u yrself can judge it..like it then do lah!!

farkthesystem SG

Masturbation is perfectly alright in my boooks.

Someone said to masturbate without lusting. How is that possible i ask you?

Some people quote the bible saying masturbation is a sin. Others say it isn't. Then there are those that say it's up to you. You must now be more confused than ever...

Let me share with you my view.

The bible is a book of teachings. Do not take everything in context. Absorb it's fundamentals but do not dwell in it's details.

Masturbation is alright, whether you're 10 years old or 100 years old, whether you're a boy or a girl. Most people start off without any self-control, and somewhere along the line, they start getting guilty about it because they feel they're giving in to their desires and lust.

If you do not want to fall into this category, then find yourself. Once you understand yourself and your place in this world, you will come to terms with what/who you are, and if you still think masturbation is wrong then, then good luck trying to stop!!!

Miss Know It All SG

Well Im not sure if masterbation is a sin or not. I do masterbate, but it hasnt been as frequent as previously. I used to do it uncontrollably everyday and often with items. However i have found that just stimulation will cause me to have an orgasm. I dont think of anything or anyone. I just stare off into space and rub my clitoris and breasts until i have an orgasm. Unfortunately, It is a hard habit to break sin or not and anything that controls you more than you control it reflects a type of self gratification such as smoking and gossiping. I wish there was a straightforward answer for it but there isnt. But i truly believe that if you are honestly struggling with masterbation then God knows it is a struggle and recognizes your desire to quit. It is something we often have to be delivered from. Its like your body gets a high that you seem to cant live without and you become addicted.

JustHimMore SG

Sin? Definately. Our bodies are a temple.. a place where Christ is to dwell. Anything that we do to our bodies, we do to Christ. Drugs maybe pleasurable and be a certain escape for some people (like masturbation) but drugs are sin, you know that as well as i do. I have been struggling to detach myself from the very thing we're talking about. If it was okay and right to do it, then why can it only be done behind closed doors? Isn't what we do behind closed doors our true judge of character? We are supposed to follow christ's example. He lived an unselfish, pure life. He teaches us to deny ourselves and not give into the lusts of the flesh. forgive me for saying this, but try NOT to picture Jesus masturbating...and if you get an erie feeling from just the THOUGHT of him doing something like that, then maybe it's not so right afterall and your answer is that it is wrong Smile

shandower SG

Masturbation is NOT, I repeat, NOT a sin.

For all those people quoting from the Bible, I respect your views (I'm a Christian myself) but don't scare the poor gal into believing that she would burn in Hell for all eternity just because she masturbates.

For the record, yes, I DO MASTURBATE. So there.

Raping is more sinful than masturbation.

amakusa SG

Why this topic draw soooo much attention??

cpenney SG

The amount of hatred coming from the mouths of people claiming to be Christian will never cease to amaze me.

Mr.X SG

i want u to read all this before u make up ur mind. i was looking for the answer for a while n i found it. I do masterbate n i am a new christian. Ok.. the answer is Masterbation is a sin. BUT the Bible said we all are sinners and when Jesus came he brought forgivness and salvation, and with his coming the laws were no more and with alot of grace . That does not mean you should accept sins and not strive for perfection, but it means that although no matter how hard you try you still sin, salvation is still your's, but through the grace of God given to all who have faith. u can say taht the bible say dont do it, {[="Matthew5:30
And if your right hand causes you to sin cut it off and thow it away. It is betterfor you to lose one part of your body then for your whole body to go to hell."\\\I am sure the world would be a much more perfect place if no one sinned. The Bible guides us to live a perfect life, and since Jesus was able to, it guides us that it is possible. But the Bible also says all are sinners, and so it acknowledges that no one other than Jesus will actually attain such perfection.

Matt 5:28
28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
(KJV)

Matt 15:19-20
19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
(KJV)

Mark 7:21-23
21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
(KJV)

There are other verses, but I believe it would be true to argue that occasional horrible thoughts do not equal such actual sins, and to say that there is a difference in degree and nature between having sinful/lustful thoughts and actually committing such acts. For me I would say the thought is evidence of temptation, which the Bible says we all encounter, and if and when you actually [act on] (do) that thought, you are giving in to temptation. If you only think it, but never do it, then it seems you have resisted temptation. That said, it is a very dangerous thing to dwell upon temptation.

God's commandment to be fruitful and to multiply is not inconsistent with the fact that sex is a sin in my view(unless ur merried). It was spoken as taking place within the context of marriage, and it is in that context that most, but not all, of the Biblical geneologies are laid out.

.....so it can be reasonably inferred, that Jesus's words on adultery has consequential implication, NOT A commandment.....Therefore, personally, all so called "thought-sin" in the bible, as far as the Christians are concerned, is not a commandment. It is a GUIDELINE, how to do away from the sins, which keep us from fulfiling the two greatest commandments and putting ourselves right with the Lord.

I think I essentially agree. As I mentioned above, when you engage in masterbation u have fantasys 99.9%, you are subjecting yourself to temptation, and the Bible guides (I can accept that) you away from that. We are all subject, so matter how perfect we are (and none of us is perfect before or after being saved), to temptation. And as the Bible showed, even Jesus was subject to temptation on several occasions. Jesus was able to resist, but we, myself included, frequently do not.

this is a summary of the truth of masterbation.

hope i helped
