I dont know if it's okay to masturbate when you're a Christian. Is it? or Is it wrong? Just wondering because i have a Christian friend who masturbates. Oh and to the non- Christians out there i wanna know what you think too!
 (sorry i dont know how to spell masterbation)

it's spelled masturbation...haha.
i'm not christian, and i used to masturbate. i don't anymore because i have a boyfriend but i really don't think there's anything wrong with it. i think that christians are against masturbation but i'm not sure. hell, there are religious christians who drink even though they go to church and stuff. masturbation is A LOT less harmful than drinking and it's actually healthy because it relieves stress and relaxes your body. |

^ i agree.
i don't think masturbating is either good or bad based on religion, if it's you want it or crave it you know? i've read that it's healthy, so why not. i don't see anything wrong it, especially in terms of the religion. i'm sure that religions all might have their views on it, but it shouldn't effect you on whether or not you do it or not, lol, unless you're completely devout christian or something. |

I think it's natural. I know that Christian's are against pre-marital sex but that's a completely different thing than touching yourself.

ahh, masturbation is completely normal. its what your body craves, why deny it? as for religion.. well, it is a sin if youre a christian. but they should take in consideration that the human body is weak & we're not all so perfect. masturbate if you want, its nothing bad!

in some religions masturbation is a sin. i have a friend who's really into church and youthgroups and all that good stuff and he told me that its against his religion but he still does it because its obviosuly a natural thing to do. i personally think theres nothign wrong with it.

I'm Christian, and I think people who preach on how it's so wrong are quacks. It's your body - if you want to, go for it.

I agree (excluding the "quack" remark). I mean, you can still be a good Christian and masturbate, I'm sure. It doesn't make you a bad person either. Personally, I think it's perfectly healthy. And like Intercourse said, it's better than going out and actually having sex if you're not ready. I see no wrong with it either way though, if you don't because of your faith, or if you do because you want to. It's your body - if you want to, go for it. |

The Bible teaches you to be a good person. If masturbating is something you enjoy or it helps you calm down, then go for it. It's not hurting anyone, and it's actually good for you.
The Bible may have said not to masturbate, but they did not have the medical research back then to know what we know now. I'm sure if Jesus or the apostles had had the resources to find out the truth about masturbation, they would have wanted you to do it. It all depends whether you take the Bible 100% literally, even though we live in a modern world, or if you're willing to take it a little more liberally, and just try to be a good person (which makes more sense to me, personally). If you take it all literally, you'll think masturbation is a sin, being homosexual is a sin, and if a maiden kisses a lad before marriage you must kill 3 of their goats. Note the sarcasm. If you take it liberally, you'll think masturbation is okay, you'll know that scientifically being homosexual is in our genes, and is no more punishable than having blonde hair, and that the Bible, when applied to this day and age, should just be interpreted as "you should be a good person". Sorry for the long post! Good luck figuring out your religious beliefs. You're lightyears ahead of most people for even *thinking* about this stuff; good for you. Oh-- here's another way to think about it: Jesus gave you a brain so you could USE it. So think: Your friend masturbates and it helps her feel good. She's not hurting anyone or anything, it just helps her feel good. Is that really something that YOU feel is a sin? |
