I agree that it is sinful to masturbate. Before you even start to masturbate, your mind is already thinking (or I would say, desiring). Temptation is Satan's primary weapon! Satan creates a desire in you and make you feel tiltillated. This is the reason why it is sinful. God made you, giving you the parts (of a body) a human being has. Each and every part has its usage, so, you can't misuse it. Don't treat masturbation as a venial sin!

Some times it is good to masturbate if it will prevent you from making a larger sin; I mean by larger sin is to make it with a nother one

Sinful is something that is harmful to yourself and other and also against "god." Masturbation harms no one. It's the safest way to fulfil the natural drive to have sex although a terrible substitute. So, jerk away or stroke away or whatever you do and enjoy yourself by yourself.

i personally believe its not something God wants us to do..Many times we have the attitude of "If God gave me this body, shouldn't I be able to enjoy it?" First of all, we have to remember that sex is God's invention. He is the mastermind behind it. This beautiful expression of love was created out of God's own heart as a gift to be experienced between a husband and wife. As we've already said, it is only in marriage that this expression of intimacy can be fully enjoyed to the degree and depth for which it was created.
Hebrews 13:4 reads "Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge."
The more beautiful and unique something is (like sexual intercourse), the more power it holds over our lives, either as a good or bad influence. That is why it is so easy for the devil to corrupt the most precious of God's gifts. God created sex so that we could become one with our husband or wife. Masturbation is a selfish act where we take advantage of and abuse God's gift.
God cares about what we do with our bodies, in public or in private, and He doesn't want us to abuse ourselves in any way.
Did you know that in older dictionaries the definition of the word masturbation is "self-abuse"? And if you were to look in a current dictionary under the word self-abuse, the word "masturbation" would be the second definition given. To this day, the two words are linked together, masturbation/self-abuse.
You might be thinking, "How am I abusing myself by doing this?" We are abusing ourselves by masturbating because we are improperly handling something that God entrusted to our care. We are taking something that God gave us (our bodies and minds) and using them in a perverse manner. When masturbating, you are defiling your mind with obscene thoughts and then defiling your body by using it to act out those thoughts. To "defile" something means "to make unclean, to make impure." Matthew 15:19-20a reads, "For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications ...these are the things which defile a man."
And I believe that we all already know in our hearts that masturbating is wrong. When you engage in this activity, you soon after feel a sense of guilt and shame. This activity does not lift you up spiritually. It brings you down. God did not create our sexual organs so that we could fantasize and have sex by ourselves. God created sexual pleasure as something to be shared and experienced between two people -- a husband and a wife.
Now, you might be thinking, "Well, isn't it still better to masturbate than to commit fornication?" Maybe in your mind you feel that it is better to masturbate because at least you are the only one involved. Maybe you believe that it is the "lesser" of two evils.
Well, I don't believe that our loving, holy, all-powerful God wants us to be in situations where we have to choose any evil, whether it be "lesser" or "greater." God doesn't want you to be involved with sin at all!

hi just think of jesus in that sexy dirty robe and that scummy long hair and beard while you diddle your privates and it is OK. PRAY WHILE YOU PLAY seriously, if you r stupid enough to believe in god than you dont deserve the pleasure of jakking. and by the way, why cant you get a partner to do it with you? is there something hideous about your apperance, or is it just your personality that keeps you from getting laid

Its healthy for you. If you are male, it decreases chances of prostate cancer, and depending on the person can increase or decrease sperm count, either of which could be a blessing depending on who you are.

If you don't have a legal sexual partner (opposite sex) - then there is nothing wrong. Rather you must do it to ease the sexual tension.
