Lust is one of the seven deadly sins.

No; if you're basing that on Christianity, then the Bible doesn't refer to touching yourself. The only time that it is a problem is if you begin doing it compulsively--for example, doing it ten times a day, so that it's interfering with your life and you want to stop but can't. But touching yourself is very normal and healthy, and so is liking to do it. That's a sign that you feel comfortable with yourself and with your sexuality, both of which God created. It's actually very common in young infants and children, so it's a very natural thing. Unfortunately, for some reason some people attach a stigma to it. But it's just part of being human and of growing up, like women starting to menstruate or men having wet dreams. Welcome to life!

This one always makes me laugh! It's yet another myth that people try to promote by using the Bible to justify it (all that "lusting in your heart" crap). Sexuality is healthy and a G-d given gift. The entire human species depends on sex being pleasurable, otherwise we'd go the way of the dodo. I really think that the sex=guilt thing is a great way of controlling the flock; whoever thought that one up was a genius!

It does not make you a sinner, However you are taking part in a sinful act. We are all born into sin .We get directions from the book. and try to live by it. You now Know better and need to stop.

Hell no. Just don't do it in public. Other than that, it is good for you for crying out loud.

Matthew 5:28 says "truly i say to you, anyone who looks at a women lustfully is guilty of adultery"
unless you can masturbate without lusting, it is a sin
