Is it wrong for a Christian to masterbate?

Answer 1

Yes, but christians are nuts. Everyone should just admit that they masturbate because everyone does. I don't care how holy you claim to be, it's a biological necessity.

Answer 2

No
Since, there’s no Scripture condemning the act of masturbation as a sin, it stands to reason that it’s an act which has the potential to be honoring to God and is in accord with the fact that the Holy Spirit lives in the believer. Solitary masturbation is not an act which harms the individual’s body, nor does it involve the joining of one body and spirit to another as is the case with sexual intercourse. Through the releasing of sexual tensions, it can act as a barrier to seeking release through immoral outlets. A part of honoring God with our bodies is doing whatever’s necessary to keep our bodies under control.
In the area of sexuality, masturbation can be an effective way of doing so.

Answer 3

Yes. How would you like it if God peeked in on you during this self pleasure?

So, masterbation is only allowed for atheists, agnostics and other free thinkers. EXCLUSIVELY.

Do not try this at home! It is only to be conducted by trained professionals.

Answer 4

I am LMAO the "biological need" to masturbate answers. Are these people animals??? As if you will die with out orgasm, get real.
Anywho, No it is not wrong to masturbate. From what I understand the "sin" would be in lusting over some one other than your spouse in doing so. Again some might say what about Onan's sin in "spilling it" on the ground? Again from my little knowledge and research the "sin" was not that he spilled his seed, the sin was that he disobeyed God by not bringing up seed unto his brother.

Also what's up with zack568's answer??? Who said women are not supposed to enjoy sex...I don't think it was God. ::bumfuzzled::

Answer 5

Hi, the ten commandments don't say anything about it so there is nothing wrong for a Christian to masturbate. The church says is a sin because this is one of the ways they control your actions and don't let you decide by yourself what is right and what is wrong.

Answer 6

Only if it is equally wrong to take a piss and crap.

This is a biological function which seems to occur in most mammals to some extent. It's only wrong for a Christian to spill his seed on the ground when he masturbates.

hence,
you keep a roll of toilet paper next to the toilet when you take a crap, right?

so, you should keep a hand towel in proximity when you do the deed.

Take it from me. My name stands behind it.

Answer 7

well if u get a sense of shame it is wrong, if not I believe it's right to do so. God gave us imagination and fantasies, it also depend on how dirty ur thoughts are. There might be clean masturbation. God knows. Plus you even masturbate when u have sex with someone else so...keep it balanced, just stay away from shame.

Answer 8

NO NO NO and again NO! this has nothing to do with Christianity... many people think so because of the given education...but it's the way how you believe in god in yr heart and mind and it doesn't have anything to do with mastrb or sex in any way... those are 2 different things!

Answer 9

Yes

Answer 10

Yes

Answer 11

I am God. I will cut off that offending piece of flesh off. SLICE! There. That's done it. What? Sorry, I messed up as I usually do, I just sliced off a piece of land from Indonesia.
Just remember reading about apes masturbating. It could be that masturbation is a vestigial behaviour from our evolutionary past.
