Dear Gwamam,





You have a conscience. What is it telling you?


Many people will justify it and rationalize it, but these people are the same people who resent any authority(religious or otherwise) telling them how to live their life.





.





One way to avoid sin is to stay away from the occasions of sin that lead us to sin.


Try to avoid the occasion of masturbation. (the people, places, and things that set us up for it).








.





One of the reasons why I believe it is wrong


is not because it is pleasurable (true, it is),


but because it keeps us from meeting other people and getting involved in a world other than our own.








.





Maybe you need to listen to the plight of the suffering in your community, get involved in community service, or active in a church group or ministry to the suffering.





Maybe we also need to ';re-define'; what happiness is. How pleasure only takes us so far, but REAL JOY and happiness (which comes at a greater price) far exceeds pleasure.





Don't be discouraged in your good efforts to be pure.





Hope this helps.


Love %26amp; Prayers,

Yes, its a sin. You are supposed to control your urges and not seek sexual satisfaction. Christian monks used to beat themselves with withy-sticks when they had sexual thoughts. Pain is supposed to distract you from them!





Lust is after all one of the seven deadly sins!





But seriously. Its not a major sin. Not on the scale of murder or anything. Greed, envy and gluttony (know any fat people?) are also sins, and most people fall for these.
No, it's not a sin. It's a normal part of human nature, for both men and women. Religion wants everyone to be ashamed of being human. Religion needs to grow up and mind its own business. If you're ashamed of masturbating, don't tell anyone you're doing it.
Dude don't listen to religions about masturbation. It is not a sin. How are you gonna go through life without feeling good and not doing things to satisfy religion. Don't let something tell you how to live. Masturbate!
Masturbation is fine..





People try to use commit adultery commandment as contrary, by saying just by thinking about tappin that ***, you literally are, therefore sinning..





Nah man, whack it all you want
When has religion ever been right? Never, so just ignore it, lots of religious people probably do it anyway, so if it makes you feel any better you can imagine your the pope.
No, masturbation is not a sin. The passage often portrayed as anti-masturbation is actually about coitus interruptus (';pulling out'; before ejaculation to prevent pregnancy).
I don't care if you do it ... just quit telling ME you do! I don't want to know about ANYBODY diddling themselves! TMI !!!
If you keep playing with it it will drop right off and where will you be then another virgin.
Heck, I'm masturbating right now while I'm listening to christian music
You can have sex with altar boys
I dont thing it's a sin but it's better to stay away from it.
If it is, you're doing it wrong. Try switching hands.
You go to hell just for asking.
you'll go blind!
