Catholics believe:
Mortal sin is a grave infraction of the law of God that destroys the divine life in the soul of the sinner (sanctifying grace), constituting a turn away from God. For a sin to be mortal, three conditions must be present: grave matter, full knowledge of the evil of the act, and full consent of the will.
Venial sin is a sin which does not destroy the divine life in the soul, as does mortal sin, though it diminishes and wounds it. Venial sin is the failure to observe necessary moderation, in lesser matters of the moral law, or in grave matters acting without full knowledge or complete consent.
The sins you mention are probably not as grave a matter as terrorism or murder.
But continual venial sin can slowly but surely totally separate you from God, placing you into the state of mortal sin.
With love in Christ.

Hope not or else all of mankind will burn in hell. Every male at one time in his life masturbates. If they say otherwise, they are either lying or completley asexual. As for naked girls, how is the race supposed to procreate if men aren't allowed to see naked women? It's ridiculous to be ashamed of the body that god, or whatever else you believe in, gave you.

Yes it is a sin, but believe me nobody folows that rule. in catholic you have to have sex, not masturbate! And condoms or other contraceptives are not appreciated, these can't be used. but fro god's sake, one must use them or otherwise get pregnant or an std. so for people safety, people use them
