Is Masturbating A Sin? Should I Masturbate If I Plan On Waitinng till Marriage?

Question

I know this question might seem silly, but I really want to know. I’ve read different Christian articles saying yes, masturbation is a sin and  Christians should abstain from it. I’ve read that masturbation involves lust and self-centeredness and although the Bible does not plainly state that masturbation is a sin, there are verses that indicate that it is. Despite this though, I can’t help but wonder if it’s okay to do if you’re waiting till marriage. Won’t it help with remaining abstinent? Research has said masturbation provides several health benefits. I understand it’s wrong to do if you’re battling with addiction or pornography. But what if you’re not and you’re just someone trying to make abstinence less difficult? Is it possible for a waiting Christian to masturbate without the use of pornography or a tie to addiction?

Answer

The bible talks about not awakening desire before due time.  I hold the stance mastrabation is awakening your sexuality desires before you can fullfill  it within marriage.  So it should not be partaken in. This is my personal beliefs.

Answer

I’ve seen sermons before about it. One that really hit me was that God created sex to be between a man and a woman and that masterbation was a form of imitating what God intended to be between 2 who become one. So in that way it is mocking what the Lord intended it to be. And of course if your masterbating I’m sure your thinking of unholy thoughts so there’s that.

Answer

I don’t think masturbating is a sin

Answer

Yes it is. I was able to overcome it though! So if you’re struggling with it you can too! God is very merciful, but He is God and He makes the rules. He created our “sexy parts” so that we could be intimate with out spouses and make our families! Masturbation is a form of self gratification that often requires lusting after another. However, even if you manage to do it without lusting after another it is still sinful.

Answer

Sexual activities outside of marriage is a sin. There are health benefits to a healthy diet and long walks. Seek those things first if you want health.

Answer

I dont believe in waiting until marriage for sex. So no I do not think masterbation is a sin. Also what God are you referring to? All religions have different standards, but ultimately everyone is kinda praying to the same person.

Answer

Ask god and let the spirit tell you. In my human opinion I don't think it is if your not watching porn with it . Porn is what's dirty since u see different men and lust over it but if you do it without any of that I don't see why it would be a sin. It would be worse to burn in desire since you can't fullfil your passions since your single . I find that worse and way easier for the devil to tempt you. But that's my opinion and what I believe . The holy spirit knows best god bless

Answer

She’ll be right, just go for it 😘

Answer

Yes it is possible to masturbate without filling your head for ungodly thought (which that is tbe sinful part).  To do it requieres lots of self control and tons of self awareness.  The temptation to fall into sin is very real as the line you walk is paper-thin.  The self control, strength and discernment you need is impossible without God, you have to be walking with God very closely so you don't fall into sin.  Is not as enjoyable as the real thing and it is a little mechanical without the thought part but it does help to control a high libido.  You can be abstinent without mastubation, but it does make things a lot more difficult and can lead you to sin easily if your libido is high.  I know many will disagree, but I hope this help.
