Judeo-Christian tradition has taught for thousands of years:
1. Single people should be celibate.
2. Married people should be faithful to each other (adultery is wrong).
The Catholic Church recognizes the power of sex when it teaches, "Sexuality affects all aspects of the human person in the unity of his body and soul."
Chastity means the successful integration of sexuality within the person. A chaste person's body and spirit lives in unity and opposes any behavior that would impair that unity.
Masturbation is contrary to the human dignity of the person and anyone about whom the person has lustful thoughts, and the dignity of human sexuality.
With love in Christ.

yes I believe you are sinning against your own body and the results could be disastrous! First to maintain the erection is to allow impure thoughts into your subconscious mind and act upon those thoughts you conjure up in the form of self stimulation. Then when the seed is spewed it is destroyed because its reason for being brought into existence wasnt for pro creating but simply a persons lust or selfish pleasure. The only problem when your done and back to normal those dark secret turn ons are lingering in your sub conscious mind waiting to be activated with other slaezy filthy immoral thoughts that only you know but eventually the world knows because they will manifest themselves in behavior. Even Jesus Christ said All sin starts in ones mind and manifests in a variety of ways after. BHUDDA BLESS YOU!

Idolatry, adultery & fornications = sin. According to the Holy Bible. Don't forget adultery/idolatry of the heart, when you look at someone to lust after. That is someone you aren't married to. Remember also the husbands body belongs to the wife and the wifes body belongs to the husband. So, don't deny spouse.
Masturbation can be done without committing these sins. You can ask God in prayer what is OK.

Bill Clinton thought so, so he resorted to groping, and cigars for Monica...in the "Oval" Office ... get it, accent on Monica's oval orifice.
What blows my mind is that Liberals actually think Slick Willy and his Lesbian wife have something to contribute to the world!

No. It's absolutely normal.
There is no way God would make this a sin. Only a very ignorant human would suggest that it is.

I personally do not believe it is , but the bible does say that it is better for the your seed to go in the belly of a whore than on the floor.

Depends on your religious teachings (since you mentioned the word "sin"), but so far, it's not a crime if you are private about it.
