Question

Since, there’s no Scripture condemning the act of masturbation as a sin, why do religious get so upset about masturbation?

Answer 1

What are you wearing right now?

....seriously though....

The Bible never specifically mentions masturbation or states whether masturbation is a sin. There is no question, however, as to whether the actions that lead to masturbation are sinful. Masturbation is the end result of lustful thoughts, sexual stimulation, and/or pornographic images. It is these problems that need to be dealt with

Answer 2

Most of the other people who anwered this question probably are not able to masturbate on account of having their heads jammed so far up their own asses that they cannot reach their genitals.

Masturbation is not a sin. "Spilling seed" was supposedly a sin, but that was written when they thought men had a set amount of semen, and wasting it would cause them to have fewer children. We now know that a man produces 100,000 sperm every 24 hours, in order to replace the 100,000 that naturally die in the same period. So wasting seed is kind of a ridiculous notion.

There's nothing anywhere about it being sinful for women to masturbate. Y'all should try it sometime.

Answer 3

There is also no scripture that specifically condemns drunk driving, but that's still wrong. We know this because we can look at other verses that talk about being negligent and the value of human life. When you add it all up, it becomes clear that drunk driving is a sin.

When you add up all the scriptures about sex, marriage, and lust it becomes clear that Masturbation is a sin.

Answer 4

"Why do religious get so upset"

This is pure fantasy on your part. I have lived as a Catholic for many years and never heard anything mention of something that you claim makes people "upset." No proestant broadcast I have ever heard on radio or TV focuses on this either. Your claims are baseless. What else that you have posted is also baseless?

Have you ever heard the word 'projection?' You see, your GUILT over your sexual irresponsibility in other areas of your life is being projected onto people who attempt to keep the morality you are unable to follow. You then attack them with as a method of trying to resolve your own ill feelings.

We all hope you can find a good psychologist to resolve your sexual issues.

Answer 5

Just like smoking, the Bible never condemns it, but it will affect your body, and for Christians, the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit..... you are letting rude and dirty things enter your body just by the act of masturbation, as it is seeing pornography....

Answer 6

Because the bible says that 1 Corinthians 6:19 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;

Answer 7

because they foolishly think that sex should only be between a man and a woman.

not between a man and his hand, or a woman and hers (or a vibrator.

or between a man and a man, or a woman and a woman.

i think any of these options are fine.

Answer 8

In the Bible it's called fornication.

Answer 9
