in all denominations of christianity (catholocism, christian, mormonism(sp?), seventh day adventists, jehovas witness etc....) it is a sin

sexual immorality=sin
sex out of wedlock= sin
there was a verse somewhere where is mentions "the spilling of semen" being bad....i think that could be coorelated to this topic...but im not sure

i used to be a jerkin freak....but iv stopped....its been like... 2-3 months..

lol i sound like a recovering alcholic xD

If masturbation is a sin, then you can expect most of the free-world to be hardcore sinners.

I'm proud to be a sinnerman!

yeah i think it is a sin

its bad, it says its bad in the bible but dont feel like quoting, but its there, period

i heard its a sin when your not married yet.

well...
i dont think it is.
Love ya*muah

No it's not a sin!!!...it's a release of pleasure...why would god make it sin...he should make sex a sin which helps us reproduce...

92% of males masturbate. Those who dont are more likely to rape women. nuff said

according to some religions it is...

...but to some people think otherwise.

if it is the devil might as well take me to hell now, but i dont think it is cause it doesnt specificly say in the bible DONT MASTURBATE OR U WILL GO TO HELL

that's why a lot of people are going to hell...

Well im going to hell anyway so why not enjoy yourself while your alive right?

isn't masturbation a sinful pleasure? i'd say that it is a sin

Meh..it depends what you believe in...if it is all the guys i know would go to hell.

its a sin...
just say 10 hail mary's
5 glory be's and call me in the morning
hahahaha

I think it's a sin...

yes it is a sin. but i do it from time to time. im stopping though because its a mess. haha.

i hope not but once i heard at like camp or something that as long as you weren't actually thinking about sex, which is adultry, it was okay. but psh, like that's going to happen.

is it really that bad??

I dont think its a sin but it depends on your religion, i dont and i dont have a religion, i am just one of those people who just cant be bothered to go to church but i have read bits of The Bible though lol

everythings a f-ing sin in some religion, thats why im atheist, u shouldnt live ur life by what a book says but the way u want it, hopefully ull want to make a positive impact on others.

^^ What he said.

Good point. Although, I don't agree with Aetheism, I strongly support your right to be one.

We live in a world that is dominant of Christian, Jewish and Muslim faiths (with their various sects included). I for one don't believe its a sin to touch yourself from time to time nor do I think its a sin for two people in love to have sex.

This is best explained in your own interpretation of right and wrong. Because, after all, you aren't committing mass genocide by having a date with Palmela Handerson.

Hey wasup guys,

THIS IS SWEET NEWS! If you wanna find out the TRUTH about masturbation, read this book: I just read it, and it told me everything I EVER wanted to know about it, and I bet it will do the same for you too. I give it a 5/5 rating. Seriously, it has definitely been VALUABLE and now I love talking about masturbation. Haha.

The book is called Every Young Man's Battle. By Stephen Arterburn and Fred Stoeker.

Here's a link to buy the book, super cheap!

- Steve
A MUST MUST MUST MUST READ FOR EVERY SINGLE GUY!!! NO JOKE. You'll be one up on the rest of your friends.

I'm Christian and I'm not sure if it's a sin. I don't do it though...

yeah its a sin but i heard like 96% of guys do it?

it depends on what religon you are...i think its chalotic (sp?) that they say that if it feels good...dont do it....but hey i say f**k it and just do what you want...if its a sin just go to church and say your sorry

in my opinion... it's a sin on catholic's perspective... im a catholic.. but i dont totally agree that it is a sin... Masturbation has a use! it helps men avoid prostate cancer... it has scientific basis...just dont abuse it!

well... it depends on the person i guess...

of course its not.. jesus did it to

Look, why do you even care what god thinks? IF it's a sin in your religion move to another one, it's not liek it matters, aperently no matter what religion you're in each one promises to maek you go to heaven or some other obscure form of extreme deligth after you die. like wtf? if there are so many religions, how can each person in each religion know theyr'e in the right one? does it really matter? ti's not like any of it exists, you jsut have your religion because it makes you feel better about yourself, you're just weak. Don't live your life by what soem imaginary god wrote in a stupid book, you health, family and yourslef are the oens you should live by, the ones you should care about. here, how bout I amek a new religion called DWYW, "do what you want" in my religion you can do whatever you want, the only things you can't do are the things that will make your life worse and hurt your life forever. there, I jstu wrote the bibble, now join my religion and masturbate all YOU want. oh, and did I metion I'm a holy phrophit sent by god and and he's my biological father?



ah, I don't know why I even try, he said it much better than me -- ^

that post by hoodieobsessed said it all in a stream of concsiousness way.

A Child of Her Own God, like we all are.

Many get hoodwinked by religious doctrine at an early age and slavishly follow their religion for many years, but as you become an adult and learn to question more, since you are empowered and able to make a difference, this is when ridiculous sexual repression like this can have an adverse effect.

If it is a sin how come there aren't millions of kids spontaneously becoming blind or suddenly developing hairy palms, just like 'they' told you would happen. Or some other random punishment.

What a cop-out for kids: I failed chemistry because I got punished for wanking so much, or according to 'Every Young Man's Battle', I was impure of thought. WOW, if that was the case, failing chemistry would be the least of your worries.

Wanking is natural and healthy and all should participate.

is masterbation like sex or like fantasizing??
eww and why are people posting topics like these...

You're probably 12, so your questioning of why people post topics like this is irrelevant. Perhaps in a year or two your Mummy might tell you about all that 'embarassing' stuff.

If you really want to find out what maturbation is, use a dictionary or your search engine before you do that typical pre-teen eeeewwww to anything that is vaguely related to sex.


Peace Out

well "sex is a sin"... but sex is also healthy.. isnt masturbation the same?

********Well, a cat dies everytime you do that :) I dunno my sayings, but there IS one like that...I just can't remember! ********
//\\ //\\ //\\
that is a quote that sumone posted b4...just couldnt be bothered to do it the rite way........


neways...yes that is a saying....n like theres a picture of it to:P .. fuking funny:P/..................

I don't think it's a sin... But it can lead to one easily, cuz sometimes there might be some dirty thoughts that might pop out of your head.

If you're going to make a sweeping statement like that, please back up your post as to how & why masturbation will easily lead to a sin and which sins in particular you might be referring to.


Peace Out

pssssh, my church says holloween is the devils birthday. I really dont think its a sin. there would be some kind bad side effect if it was. and if it is its most likely really petty. your not gonna go to hell just for wanking. Gods not cold like that i dont think.

Gosh you people come right back to the old topics huh? Lol.

What...bacause you might have the attention span of a goldfish and every day have to have new subject matter, rather than (mass)debate a worthwhile topic, plus this Forum has new Members every day who see and want to post on what they believe to be interesting or that they have an opinion on...you think that this topic should just be ignored?

You are literally a waste of wank.


Peace Out

^ haha, damn

um, its jus not natural for a guy to have that kind of relationship with his hand...but it carries an extremely low risk of pregnancy. theres nothing written in stone that says its a sin, but you should be able to tell for yourself if its good or bad.

Oh dear. Another repressed loser. Masturbation has been around since partner-sex and is enjoyed by ALL mammals, not just Humans. Fool.

Also, please qualify your second ridiculous part of your post...what is the point of a guy wanking into his hand and then inserting a finger immediately into a girl; this is what it would take for the remote possibility for pregnancy to occur. How realistic do you think that is? Guys want to cum in or on girls not on themselves to wipe on girls. That's just stupid....unles you're the founding (and only) member of a strange and sad new cult that advocates preganancy by wank only.

Pregnancy through male masturation. Well, what do you think the odds are for that one? lmfao.


Peace Out

oh, dont take that literally.

i guess i'll remember you next time i see a rat/koala/elephant/whatever please itself. ^_^

i dont think its a sin..

just pray

SPAM...SPAM...SPAM.

Another Christian without anything worthwhile to add, except what the Pastor told him.


Peace Out

no idea.. but hey issh happens.. haha

No doubt. But I havent dont "it" in like 43 days. Haha people are betting on how soon I will give in.
