Is masturbation a sin?

...

Shawez S	READ DR SODOMS BOOK "WHO SAYS MASTURBARION IS A SIN"

Harriet	Only if you believe in a twisted sadistic god who wants to torture you and make your time on earth miserable. Luckily for me, I don't, and even if I did I would put up with eternal hellfire for that fun.

poemmusic	It all depends on what you believe, and what religion you follow.

Pauly	No masturbation is not a sin.

Believer	Not at all. Those who say SIN in public are often child molesters behind the curtain. Its your body and you should know about it more and enjoy it. Mastrbation is purely natural.

Ramone	lol, yes. Along with fatty foods, movies, sex, viedeogames and non religious music. and if your Muslim, showing hair(females)

Rune	No not a sin, just most are backwards and ashamed of the s word. (which god made BEFORE the fall, Genesis, to Adam and Eve. Look it up people.) I think self love is better if you cant resist than going out and just getting a virus or someone getting pregnant. XD

al	not at all,its a great way to self-satisfy rather than taking the wrong step in ur teens

Dr. Zoom Zoom 3.0	Sexuality is a gift from God, as we read in the book of Genesis. It is meant to be shared, a physical expression of our love and concern for a member of the opposite sex with whom we have made a life-long commitment through marriage and is open to the possibility of procreation. There is a sharp distinction between "making love" and "having sex." The former constitutes the wise use of the gift of sexuality, whereas the latter falls short of this ideal. Masturbation is self-directed. As such, is a distortion of human sexuality. By nature, it is incapable of expressing love and concern for an other person. It is also incapable of the possibility of procreation, in fulfillment of our Creator's injunction to "be fruitful and multiply." Since it "misses the mark" of the wise use of the gift of sexuality, it is considered sinful. This is especially so in cases in which masturbation becomes an addiction.

vinny	i have just sin....again

Vate	No. It is pleasure.

Joker	No.Even licking the end product of it as you do is not a sin. If it is a sin,the entire humanity will be sinners.

Sahil	No. Its a natural and healthy act to do it.. Please carry on for that divine feeling... Self help is the best help :)

2bros	no..not at all.......

Dellz	Yes, if you imagining lust when you masturbate, because lust is a sin but it is hard to masturbate without lust. Think about it is YES LUST is sexual desire: the strong physical desire to have sex with somebody, usually without associated feelings of love or affection

Zing M	"Have you actually sat down and read this thing (the bible)? Technically we're not allowed to go to the bathroom!" Reverend Lovejoy, The Simpsons.

?	not at all

Anomaly	No. God created masturbation so that you won't need to commit the sin of premarital sex.

Peter H	course not. as a mate of mine says, "women are alright, but there's nothing like the real thing!"

Belinda T	yes in a lot of religions it's a sin to masturbate and look at women's racks before marriage.

Susie	Only if you think it is.

redd headd	self love is better than none

delta	no my dear, go on and on and on.

Bikram rai	no,this is quite natural.Most people do it but not admit it.This is the first thing every body do when they are approaching puberty.This is very sensitive time for every one at this time they can do lot of silly things and it is very difficult time.They fall in love with any one even it is not right match or other things into consideration.

t-bone	Adam (of Adam and Eve) had to do it for three days before he was given a women. did you ever wonder why the penis did not bed in the other direction? or it wasn't long enough to reach? mother =nature intended that those issues be handled by another person so masturbation is not a sin but the thoughts you must have to get to the climax are a sin.

Gavin T	i certainly wouldn't say that it is...god is supposed to forgive sinners if they ask (from what I know anyway, i'm not into religion). Personally, the way i see it. I'l die, i'll ask forgiveness, the big man will go "Sure thing" and I'm on my way...

Mr.Miller	It depends on your faith. But for me it isn't. In fact it is a healthy sexual activity. It is safer than having sex with another person and your sperm will always be replenished.

supergirl	no -it isnt. if you dont believe try to find in a Bible where it says opposite.

James	It's a sin if you don't do it.

?	Yes in some religions but I have heard that its good for male health....

money4richer	Nooo,do it to your heart content.
