Could you help? PLZ let me now anything you know about masterbation and if its ok to do or not. Im tired of always feeling guilty, i need to know once and for all

Answer 1

Masturbation is a perfectly normal part of life. It is the body's natural way of allowing you to release the pent up sexual tensions that everyone feels.

If you have made a religious or special vow to avoid sex, then masturbation might be something you should avoid, but if you have not, then there is nothing wrong or evil about it.

As a teenager especially, you might feel the need to masturbate frequently, but this will probably decline somewhat as you get older. Or maybe not ~ everyone is different in this regard!

If you feel troubled about this, you might want to not masturbate for a while and think about whether you feel any different or better as a person for not doing it. As you are a religious person, you may wish to do this in a spirit of contemplation or prayer.

Then, you can decide based on what is right for you in your own life.

Good luck! :-)

The only people that go to hell are the ones that deny God in any way shape or form. Do not deny the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ, or Father God and you will be okay. You see in God's eyes all sin is judged the same no matter how serious of a rating we assign to it. If we accept God through his Son then we have the grace of God which is a free gift and something that you do not have to work for. Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me.

Pornography is the bane of the modern world. It is evil right next to drugs. Millions are addicted to porn, and it is used to exploit just about every woman on the planet. Many women who are respectable are judged against whether or not they perform like that porn star working the dude over in the video. beyond sick and twisted.
Our young girls today have role models like Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and Maddona. so much for the wholesome, all-american mother and wife who is happy with what she is. The human race will never be the same.
As far as the pud-pulling, well, in moderation I would say, and try to do it with a clean mind if that is possible. Of course, the ultimate goal is marraige, when you both can have all KINDS of fun, and it is BLESSED by God.
I had what is called epididmitus (I think I spelled it right), where my semen backed up and caused an infection. I had pain in my groin, and had to urinate often. I went to the doc, and he told me it was from lack of 'release', and I had to follow his orders, no matter how bizzarre, or I would be in DEEP trouble.
I had to masterbate 5 times a day to get rid of the infected semen, plus take volumes of anti-biotics. This is not a joke, but true. I was REALLY embarrassed about the whole thing.
so, my advice is, dont look at the porn, our minds are way more fertile, than that anyway. and as far as playing with snakey, well dont wear him out, and only do when nessecary (not 5 times a day).
Ladies, be warned: if he says that if he doesnt get release, he will get sick, HE IS RIGHT! He could get deathly ill! Just tell him to go entertain himself if you are not willing:)

Answer 4

Maybe Saints don't masturbate, but I doubt it. I was never able to overcome the so-called "Self-Abuse" habit, try as I might and pray as hard as I could. I finally just gave up trying and went with the flow. We are all human, and we all have a sexual urge, for better or worse, some a lot stronger than others. Those with a weak sex drive may not masturbate as much, but I bet they still do it some. Okay, for the sake of charity, I will conceed that maybe one person in a MILLION has never masturbated and never will. And can you imagine a God so evil that he would send a soul to Hell for ETERNITY just for playing with themself to get a little pleasure? That does not make any sense to me. It completely defies all logic and good sense. God made your physical body, so He/She knows it has needs and drives. I don't think the Bible says one word about masturbation, except for Onan, and he was probably practicing coitus interruptus, the withdrawal method of birth control, rather than just common jerking off. The thing that God was pissed off about in his case though was not his "spilling his seed on the ground", but rather his refusal to impregnate his dead brother's widow.

Answer 5

Masturbation is a classic actual act. God made all creatures to be sexual, as evidenced interior the conventional could desire to have intercourse for the species to proceed to exist. the recent testomony would not spell out a code of excellent or undesirable acts as a results of fact the Jewish community had progressed (and many times contradicted) interior the previous testomony. Jesus spoke against something the place somebody does injury to a various. Love wins interior the Bible. Masturbation is criticized by utilising some human beings for it is sheer act of self exhilaration. If it is a sin, so is residing, as residing with the affection of God is a organic exhilaration. in case you do no longer masturbate, nature will do it to you besides. it is bodily wholesome to maintain your physique wholesome and that consists of your sexual organs. i understand many clergy of many Christian denominations, and that i do no longer understand any who've never masturbated. I say do it many times and stay wholesome, keep it in attitude and fall in love with somebody you elect sometime and revel in genuine intercourse, at that component.

Answer 6

Well the fact that you feel guilty afterwards is a good indication that it is wrong and not pleasing to God.
No you won't go to hell for it, but the sin itself will gradually cause separation of fellowship with the Lord which eventually does lead to a person falling away and back into the sin of the world.

Answer 7

I very much doubt it!! Look if there is a god which i very much doubt, you will not go to hell for masterbating. Erection's are natural (except in old folks) and so is throwing one off! After all its not a sin like sex before marriage is, besides being catholic allows you to do what you want just go to confession and the man/woman upstairs will allways forgive you!

Answer 8

You will only go to Hell if you fail to trust in Jesus for your salvation and if you have never received God's Holy Spirit. The Bible doesn't mention masturbation and so all by itself it can't be called a sin. But Jesus does tell us that if we commit sin in our imagination then it's just like if we actually did the sin itself. So if a person is pretending to engage in sinful sex then in their heart they are sinning. If you were thinking about having sex with your future wife, that would be a different story. As it is, when you look at pornography you are in your heart joining your body that is the temple of the Holy Spirit with that of a harlot.

1 Corinthians 6:15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! 16 Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, "The two will become one flesh."

Dear One
Pornography is a sin. you wont burn in hell, if you turn it over to the Lord, God knows all your secret thoughts, you have no secrets from Him, go to God in Jesus precious name and ask Him to help you enjoy sex the normal way, when it is your right time. Sex is not an entitlement, it is a gift from God to be shared with your spouse. if you must masturbate don't do it to pornography. and do not have perverted thoughts. God bless you.

Friend if it were a some type of sin worthy of going to hell it would probably mention it in the text somewhere , you would think, not to mention there very - very few men that have not done so at one time or another.
