Is masturbation REALLY a sin?

Dialogues involve two people responding to each other, last I checked. Sorry, that's the best I can come up with.

I've never done it. And I can't stand when people say "everyone has at one point or another" well I haven't and I dont see a point to it. Im waiting for my husband. *Shrugs*
Also, I can see how it's a sin in the aspect of lusting, you're imagining someone and God says thats a sin. But then again some people say that the imagining thing isn't necessary. Idk. I dont do it, for my own personal reasons, but I don't believe you can be sent to hell for it. That's just someone trying to scare you. lol

Good for you! Most people have masturbated or experimented at somepoint and gotten a surprise, and that's not just an excuse to do it- it's a fact we need to recognize. That so many people across different cultures touch should tell us something about how our body works and how we're built.

Lust typically has nothing to do with it unless there's no self control involved.

Great! If you find it to be detrimental, then don't do it, just like any other gray area.
