Sin is something that no one can be without. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. We are all suppose to keep the ten commandments, but that is a challenge no one can keep. There is not one of the commandments that anyone can keep and only by forgiveness of God can you be saved.
It is not explicitly stated, but may be implied, that masturbation may be better than fornication. According to Acts 15:20,29, 21:25, we are to refrain from fornication among a few other things. There is no prohibition of masturbation here to the early church, either directly, or by implication, and the passage seems to address the several facets of idol-worship with its attending activities. It is not specified to any certain type of person of any particular relational attachment. Fornication was to be avoided, probably since prostitution was associated with the pagan rituals in such idol-temple worship services. They were admonished to avoid idolatry, which masturbation may be, if there is a morbid preoccupation with the thing as a lustful, habitual pursuit. In the Old Testament we have men who very late in life took wives.

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

Who cares? Do you really think that a being who created the whole universe really cares what you do with your winky? That is, of course, if such a being existed.
In fact, there are no gods and your angst over masturbation and sex is just nonsense drilled into you by religious zealots so that they can keep you in their pews. Sex is a natural thing. Masturbation is healthy. Don't rely on 2000 year old zealots to tell you what's right and wrong.
Try thinking for yourself.

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 and many other things!

Good question, I think every group has its own opinion, because they might not know. But for mike sake I hope it isn't because I will be in allot of trouble when I die.

Oops, if it is than I am going to hell. There is no sin or hell, those are man made terms. They are not God made.
