It's a sin regardless. It makes you create lust in your mind, which is a sin (Matt. 5:28).

No, it's not a sin. It's a sin to spell the word wrong though. The correct spelling is "masturbate"

God gave you free will so if you want to do it you are more than able to. All I'm saying is it causes you to create lustful thoughts in your mind. God knows what you are thinking. He does not condone lust. Click on that link I gave you.

One of the seven deadly sins, lust that is. So yes technically, but i try to stay away from religious debates. they only muddy the waters.

Phoenix, you will never get 100% agreement about masturbation. Some cultures and religions including Christian fundamentals/evangelicals say masturbation is always wrong, is a sin, an occasion for lust. (Like no one can be lustful without masturbation?????????) It's a way to find out how your body works, but don't overdo it. If one spends a lot of time masturbating, he/she isn't involved in life, especially social life. Also, masturbation can become an obsessive-compulsive habit that rules one's life.

Masturbation is not necessary for mental or physical health. It can be a relief for sexual tension or a type of contraception or a way to forestall premature ejaculation.

Humans are social animals and were made for sex between male and female, not for solitary sex.

Biggie agrees: I think you summed it up pretty well.

Moved this post to Christianity, where you may get more discussion about whether or not it's a sin.

It's only a "sin" if you don't enjoy it and don't get a fabulous release!

Christian leaders and philosophers have gone way out of their way to spoil an individual's sexual life for many millennia. The big lie is that there is a separation between a person's body and a person's mind---dualism---and that living in one's head and puishing the body is a good thing--IT IS NOT A GOOD THING!! In reality, an individual **IS HIS/HER BODY** which includes a brain, hence consciousness. The body is *not* to be punished deprived or scorned, WHAT NONSENSE.

Individuals are their bodies!!! Just to reiterate. It is unhealthy to think with Dark Ages (my definition-fall of Rome to the Enlightenment) speculation done by wierd guys who had no knowledge and plenty of neurosis'.

I'm a follower of Aristotle.....**EVERYTHING** in moderation. (Including "religion")
Have a full well balanced life, everything in moderation.

It is only a sin if you believe it is a sin. Personally I do not think it is a sin. You really need to decide for yourself how much you believe in God and the words of the bible. But remember, you are no saint - you are a simple human being. And if the bible is the word of God - God forgives everything.
