Is it wrong as a Christian to masturbate?

Question

masturbate?" /> I have been told it's wrong because its awakening love before its time but I honestly don't know

Answer

Masturbating is a selfish thing. Sorry I know that sounds harsh but let me explain. When we have sex it is something that is meant to be shared with the person we have made a commitment to and love because we are using a portion of Gods power to create. When you use it to only please yourself it lessens the sacredness of that act of sex and sex is never meant to be a selfish thing.

Also in your brain it removes the need for another person to have sex with. If you can please yourself why do you need anyone else? It also effects how the bonding hormones work in your brain if you masturbate too long. It will be harder to bond in the same way with your future husband.

Answer

Yes. Lust and masturbation works hand in hand...there's no possible way you can masturbate without thr spirit of lust and perversion being attached to it. The spirits of lust and perversion are demons called strongholds. They go after your mind or your thought process...once they have your mind, its easy to participate in the act masturbation, or fornication or adultery. The bible does not mention masturbation specifically, but it does mention to stay away from sexual immorality/ sin & the Bible also doesn't mention not to do cocaine... But You still know its wrong.

Answer

I don't think it's wrong, I think there's a reason the bible never mentions it. However I do think that lust is wrong, and it is VERY difficult to not lust while masterbauting. So it's a fine line that's difficult to walk. However there are several things in life that have equivalent difficulty. And it's all just apart of trying to be good in a sinful world.

Answer

And after reading these awful comments, I’m leaving this chat room. Imagine ignoring all of the psychological studies and research that support masturbation and SHAMING OTHERS just because YOU were taught it’s a sin. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Answer

God made your body such that your hand reaches your crotch. Babies do it in the womb. It isn't equivalent to sex. I started masturbating when I was ten and didn't think about sex at all. Jesus said to make ourselves like little children. I dont feel it's sinful.

Answer

Catholics think so. It's the excitement of the sexual process,which outside of the Union of marriage is wrong. I understand where they are coming from (pun vaguely intended),  and honestly, this is one of the main reasons I'm not Catholic any more.

Answer
