Is masturbation a sin?, i herd it was im not sure Options

[MAXpowers1023]

If it was would you stop?...........
In my understanding...it is if you're a christian, i dont know 'bout other religions.

[mzteriouzme007]

It all depends on what you believe in. For instance, I am a Christian and, yes, it is a sin. 

how is it a sin? i'm a christian.. i never heard anythink lyke that.. omg. i'm scared now..

[BeyondElite]

Masturbation is a mortal sin, because it is against the proper use of sexuality, which implies love for the spouse and opening of the gift of life.

[Nerotine]

im sure you could come up with a crafty way of saying it isn't, but after you've done it, its been done

[mr_brigtside]

Well if it is than im going to hell!

[Oreo_bro]

from a religious point of view:

The bible says lusting is one of the 7 deadly sins.

What do u think about when u masturbate? Girls (if your a guy) or guys (if your a girl). You may imagine "doing them" like a hoe, and ya just think dirty thoughts. If your thinking stuff like that then ur lusting after that person so ur sinning..

from a non religious point of view..i think its still sinning cause i mean ur pretty much fantasizing about having sex with some girl...and i wonder what that girl would thing.


o well, any ways im going to hell lol

[fragrance]

Biblically speaking..its a sin

but who isn't a sinner nowadays.. sad..

[goldenbanana]

sin in some religions & cultures... not in others.. personally i think it probably is... yet again... you never know....?
probably going to hell then if it is... lol

Im a catholic and heres what we have been taught.
So first the actual stated belief of the catholic church in referenced to the CCC. Catholic Catechism of the Catholic Church. All statements in this book are what the Catholic Church believes as established by the council of bishops who created the CCC to help catholics and non catholics alike on current issues.

Masturbating:
CCC: 2352
By masturbation is to be understood the deliberate stimulation of the genital organs in order to derive sexual pleasure. "Both the Magisterium of the Church, in the course of a constant tradition, and the moral sense of the faithful have been in no doubt and have firmly maintained that masturbation is an intrinsically and gravely disordered action."138 "The deliberate use of the sexual faculty, for whatever reason, outside of marriage is essentially contrary to its purpose." For here sexual pleasure is sought outside of "the sexual relationship which is demanded by the moral order and in which the total meaning of mutual self-giving and human procreation in the context of true love is achieved."139

In other words... its wrong. However CCC 2352 is cross referenced to CCC 1735

CCC: 1735
Imputability and responsibility for an action can be diminished or even nullified by ignorance, inadvertence, duress, fear, habit, inordinate attachments, and other psychological or social factors.

In other words... Masturbating can also be okay. Notice it includes social factors, ignorance, and habit. In the end the catholic church leaves it to you as an individual to decide if it wrong or right.

So I go to a catholic HS, they rather encourage abstinance and have people masturbate rather than having the misuse of condoms and getting people pregnant. But they also teach how to use condoms i remember the whole school last year had a whole session on correct usage of condoms.... and to believe theyd do that in a catholic hs when shit like condoms are not well liked among catholic belief.

I could really care less about it being a 'Sin' to masturbate.

If I do, I do. Wow. I f**ked myself. Whoop-dee-doo.

What the hell am I supposed to do? Calm the urge by marrying myself? Not possible. That would be pointless, and can be also considered maybe 'Gay' by some people. Because I have a d**k, and it is good to use him once in a while.

[Demosthenes]

Don't know about Christianity, but I do know about Judiasm. Technically, men cannot "spill the seed", so they cannot. Yet, it says nothing about girls. Lucky them ^_^

[boredboy]

well it's a sin but i still do it lol just dont get caught

[_One_Slit_Away_]

Uhhh...who cares. Either way you'll are still guna go do it right?

Doesn't matter to me..

[TrueLoveWaits]

" Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Becuase of these, the wrath of God is coming" Colossians 3:5

It's not a sin. God gave us sexual desires, He made us to desire sex. That's why we're attracted to one another, because we all have that sexual tension. It's just up to us to control those sexual desires. It would just suck that you marry someone and you can have all the sex you want but they can't pleasure you like you can to yourself. Just disappointing.

[jogirl]

lol o damn i hope it not a sin or im for sure goin to hell

[xxslithr0atxx]

the 7 deadly sins. greed(wanting more than you have), gluttony(eating more than waht you need to survive), sloth(laziness), envy(wanting something that someone else has), pride(not looking down on yourself)

i go to a evangelical formoson christian church.. i think that the rules liek that aren't fair and the 10 commandments or however u spell it. if you are a jacked up person and you know someone who has a great personality, why cant you want that personality? it'll make you a better person. and all the other ones you named.. people are borned in the ghetto and have bad influences all around em. is it their fault? no... why do they go to hell for that?

i ono if masturbation is a sin but yeah how is it a sin? it's not like we're having sex before marriage (which is a sin)

[demolished]

i think sin is bad according to buddism cus, you are not suppose to want anything.

if you learn about the eight prophet, it tells you how to become a better person instead of getting more then u wanted, greedy, bitching, and etc.

as a buddism, you should always:

respect becuase thats show you are wise and caring
be calm all the time cus its a "balance feeling"
dont be nervous becuase it can affect how you do.
have enough money ... meaning .. dont be poor or wealthy ..
dont take too much .. cuz its greedy and selfish
dont have TOO MUCH things
dont " want tooo much "
dont want anything badly .

to be a buddism, you need t o be a calmy normal person, who is wise and respectful person.

example of a bad thing:

wanting too much
getting too much
too much wealth, you might wanna share your wealth ..
having too much of something such as .. clothes .. food .. things.. car.. and etc..
selfish
greedy
not sharing
getting more then you wanted
and etc ..

In the bible it says your body is the temple of God.. So, you worship him.. worship his 'temple'

hmmm ic... im christian, its amazing how most buddhists i know dont even know about buddhism. i consider it a sin in my opinion.

[mzz_shotee]

technically, it's a sin. but everybody does it nowadays, so it's normal. haha

[swtxcatastrophe]

Someone asked one of the priests at my church if it was. He said at our age no. But when we get older it is. Because you're not going out and getting married and making Catholic babies.

[jambaJUICE]

So have we declared it as a sin, or as not?
