lets be clear, masturbation is an act of instant, self-gratification. It is quite the opposite of the self-control that we are constantly reminded of in the bible. Self-control is an act of obedience to our holy god and a fruit of the spirit (galatians 522-23) an act that requires restraint, thought, intentionality, and delayed gratification. The sexual thoughts that enable masturbation do not help any man to treat women with greater respect. Therefore masturbation produces real and legitimate guilt and stands in the way of obedience. masturbation can also help having an orgasm releases chemicals like prolactin, serotonin, and oxytocin into the brain, all of which have been linked to feelings of happiness and relaxation. Or is masturbation a perversiona sin, even? Lets just get this out there right off the bat so were all on the same page masturbation is defined as manual stimulation of the genital organs. It is typically thought of as a solo act, but it can also be a part of partnered sexual activity. We recently learned in a bible study class that masturbation is a sin. when you read 1 corinthians 75, 8-9, we can see that masturbation is a sin for christians according to the bible. In other bible verses like 1 thessalonians 43-5 the only solution for sexual. Masturbation can help your sex life, since its how guys learn what they like during sex. I think women would be more satisfied sexually in their relationships if they masturbated as much as men. a second passage sometimes used as evidence that masturbation is a sin is matthew 52730. Jesus speaks against having lustful thoughts and then says, if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. While there is clearly a connection between lustful thoughts and masturbation, it is unlikely that jesus was alluding to the specific sin of masturbation in this passage. Masturbation is a sin because of the possibility of becoming addicted to it. Notice that if the possibility of addiction proves that something is a sin, then statement 1 proves that sex within marriage is a sin (because married people have become addicted to it - search the internet for christian help for sex addiction without the quotes.). Masturbation is a fun and normal act used by many to explore their body and feel pleasure. Despite the myths, there are no physically harmful side effects of masturbation.
