views of the churc?

Question

what is the Catholic churches views on masterbation?

Answer 1

According to the Catholic Catechism, masturbation is serious sin and is strongly condemn by the Catholic Church.

2352 By masturbation is to be understood the deliberate stimulation of the genital organs in order to derive sexual pleasure. "Both the Magisterium of the Church, in the course of a constant tradition, and the moral sense of the faithful have been in no doubt and have firmly maintained that masturbation is an intrinsically and gravely disordered action." "The deliberate use of the sexual faculty, for whatever reason, outside of marriage is essentially contrary to its purpose." For here sexual pleasure is sought outside of "the sexual relationship which is demanded by the moral order and in which the total meaning of mutual self-giving and human procreation in the context of true love is achieved."
To form an equitable judgment about the subjects' moral responsibility and to guide pastoral action, one must take into account the affective immaturity, force of acquired habit, conditions of anxiety or other psychological or social factors that lessen, if not even reduce to a minimum, moral culpability.

2396 Among the sins gravely contrary to chastity are masturbation, fornication, pornography, and homosexual practices.

Masturbation is grave condition and should not be practiced. To make masturbation a mortal sin, three conditions must be meant.

1. Full Acknowledgement.
2. Full Consent.
3. Grave Matter.

It has to meet all three conditions. Anything less is venial. Catholics who have this sin, must confess their sins through the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
