Is it a sin to masturbate, is it considered cheating if your thinking about your husband during?

Answer 1

no, but you should save your self for your husband. As long as you are thinking about him.

Answer 2

masturbation is not a sin. Even while you are doing it thinking of your husband, who's to say he isn't doing it and thinking about you. And avoiding masturbation solely because you hve a regular sex partner isn't a matter of saving yourself for him/her nor is it being unfaithful. Masturbation is a way to obtain some sexual release during temporary absences or for whichever one of you has a higher sex drive that cannot be totally satisfied by the other. Also some people use masturbation as a way to slow down their release when having sex with a partner; sort fo a premature ejaculation preventative.

Answer 3

No, I don't believe it is at all. However if you are thinking about someone else, then it is DEFINITELY a sin. This is what Jesus Christ said:

Matthew 5:27 - 28 You have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I tell you, That whoever looks at a woman with lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.

This applies to women as well as men of course. Since you are already married to your husband, you are not committing adultery at all. So just make sure you always think ONLY about your husband, and you will be okay.

Answer 4

First of all, I have read all the answers to you question,
Wow,
Are you a Christan first of all, if you are, then yes, your sinning against your own flesh by doing so. The Bible is clear on immoral sex. You can not justify it. You have a ring on your finger, you gave yourself to your husband, in masturbating, you are stealing back what you gave in HOLY MATRIMONY.
Your body is the temple of God.
But if your not a Christan, sin is sin.
Get the blood over it, get up and go on.
You have been told, now you have to tell your husband your sorry, ask him to forgive you, then go to Christ.
Your trespassing on your wedding vows.

Answer 5

Yes it is a sin, whatever you do and then you question its integrity or you feel internally guilty about is a sin! We were created with an authentication system, some may disable it, others may totally damage it byond repair, this is how someone may kill another and sleep at night!

Nothing is more truthful to yourself more than yourself.

Answer 6

What if I do it with my husband there? What if I do it and tell my husband afterward and he loves it? Do you really think that pleasuring yourself is wrong or harmful? That's just sad.

Answer 7

in my opinion, no....first off i dont think masturbating is a sin, but if your thinking about someone your married to, then definitely not

Answer 8

no it is a sin only if you feel that way. sexual release is always a good thing but always better with someone you want to be with

Answer 9

Jesus Christ said our bodies are the temple of God.

AND I THINK THE PERFECT ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION WAS RIGHTLY SAID IN 1 COR 7: 4-6;

4The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

5Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.

6But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.

AND THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS INSPIRED ST.PAUL TO WRITE THESE WORDS IN THE BOOK OF FIRST CORINTHIANS 6:12-20.

12All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

13Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

14And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.

15Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.

16What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.

17But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

18Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

19What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

20For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

SO, WE OUGHT TO REMEMBER THAT WE ARE NOT OF OUR OWN BUT ARE PURCHASED BY THE BLOOD OF CHRIST AND OUGHT TO GLORIFY HIM THROUGH OUR BODIES. SO, PLEASE DO NOT GIVE URSELF UP FOR SEXUAL THOUGHTS BUT RATHER PONDER HOW YOU CAN ATTAIN HOLINESS IN THE LORD.

Answer 10
