Is touching yourself a sin?

[aragorn]

masturbation is a sin. That#s why they call it touching yourself.
Bating the master. Every time you have a [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]. You make it more likely that Jesus will want to as well, if he's connected to you.

having said that, it's not something I've got under control yet. But if there wasn't anything wrong with masturbation, then why would "wanker" be a term of abuse?

You made nothing resembling a logical point. And it is spelled masturbation.

 

[aragorn]

Not logical. You don't say

Still, my sex drive has neer been much connectd with my rational faculties.

Mastrubation in itself is not a sin. (Rom, 14.14). But it can easily become one, or lead to one. That is why we often regard it as a sin.
If you have dirty thoughts, look at pictures, movies with "bad" input and so on, you are comitting a sin. And in that matter it is wrong.
It can also lead to the need of more sexual stimulanse, and the need for more pleasure, and that is tempting ourselves, witch Jesus warned us very much of!

So, theoreticly its not a sin. But its close to impossible to mastrubate without sinning, or tempting yourself...
God bless!

"bating the master". ha ha ha. That's funny. Well, to the people who think that masterbating is a sin, I will just agree to disagree. I love you all!!

Well "wet dreams" are natural and are not caused by a person masturbating... instead "wet dreams" are caused by the disposing of extra sperm from the testicles due to the fact that the testicles may not be able to contain that much. Therefore the "dream" part of wet dreams is caused by the subconcious being notified by our body, bringing those dreams up. The [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] is something we cannot resolve because why would God let it happen if He didn't want that to be the only natural way until marriage?

Could you post some medical sources that this is the reason for wet dreams, too much sperm?

I don't know of any sources - though I could find one if I wasn't so..lazy, but that is actually what they taught us in Catholic school

 

[Maynard Keenan]

you need better sex ed if you dont know about wet dreams. Our schools fail us. Testicles constantly make sperm and when the sperm ducts are full your body disposes of it.

 

[crashedman]

Is it?

No more than mastication is an offshoot of gluttony. I wish that Christians and churches didn't make such a big issue of this. At least it's better than running out on battlefields with guns and killing other people.

Masturbation is a sin...



It also becomes addictive, creating strongholds and in the end you find yourself chained up, unable to stop yourself.

Lust gives birth to sin

 

[Dukey]

Is it?

how are you defining sin?

 

[pro_odeh]

Sin is everything that is against the will of God!

 

[IloveJesusMyFather3:16]

whoops. mistake. ha ha. sorry. i added something to the post below and i accidently posted it twice.

 

[IloveJesusMyFather3:16]

I really wasn't going to say anything else but I just can't help. I have one more thing to say. Sorry guys. ha ha.

It also becomes addictive, creating strongholds and in the end you find yourself chained up, unable to stop yourself. Lust gives birth to sin.

My touching yourself hasn't become addictive or a stronghold. I also don't lust after anyone or myself when I'm doing it. I think if someone is experiencing these things then they are probably sinning. I go months without it even crossing my mind. It isn't fun or that big of a deal to me...it's just sometimes you need to relieve the tension. I think it's good for the body.

Ok, I'm done and I'll hush now. he he

how do you know that masturbation is against the will of god?....not saying thats its not....schools today encourage masturbation as a way of avoiding sexual interactions

 

[NacDan]

Following the logic of this thread thus far, I'm going to have to rethink the Catholic church's stance that the act of intercourse can only be done with the intention of producing an offspring.
