What I find interesting in some here saying, "If it doesn't glorify God, it's a sin". So...is eating ice cream glorifying God? No...you're just eating ice cream, is going bowling glorifying God? No, you're just going bowling.
Is walking from the parking lot to the front door glorifying God? No, you're just walking.
That's too broad of a brush to be saying, "If it doesn't glorify God, then it is a sin".
All sins are common to man , if you think about it every man fap
The thing is people would marry young age and have sex but we went towards hunting money and carieer so we delay mariage exchanging it for money and fornication. Women would be ready to marry when they reached thier first period . God did not create man to get degrees and finish school but to have dominion over earth and animals , Biblical mariage was planned and husband would take wife into his room added for that exact purpose in his house .
Releasing seed is not sin in itself but more likelly watching porn and lust thougs . Your body will automatically release itself when you sleep if you do not have sex for about 2-3 weeks .
Also the sin of Onan was that he did not fullfill his obligations , if brother's wife had no child and his brother died , he was supposed to impregnate her and take her as wife so her child would inherit all land because only son could inherit father's goods it could not be daughter (untill one Guy asked for permission for his daughter to inherit long after ).
So Onan was not punished with death by God for spilling seed on ground but for taking Wife with all these goods . He was greedy and wanted to keep land for himself .
Back to topic .
If something glorify God then it is not sin . If it does not glorify God it is probably sin.
Fapping is sin . But it is as bad as hating somebody or even cursing .You just feel like it's worst sin than saying a lie or something like that because when you release yourself you lose dopamine .
For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
Telling a lie is as bad as murder in God's eyes .
We sin multiple times a day that's why we need to be saved .
Get wife problem solved
If not try to not watch porn and don't leave hands on your pants because you can be touching yourself not even realising it untill it's too late and you are in "lust mode " .
Same goes for girls they often touch thier breasts while watching tv or something .
Really?
If it's a sin you shouldn't do it. There is no excuse for sin.
4 Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness. 5 You know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin. 6 No one who abides in Him sins; no one who sins has seen Him or knows Him. 7 Little children, make sure no one deceives you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous; 8 the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. (1 John 3)
No, it's not! If you get the right wife the problem may be solved for a while. To rush into marriage is not a good idea at all. Too many people rush into marriages for different reasons, this is not a reason to get married! You get married because you want to live with someone for the rest of your life, even if you never can have sex with that person, you would still be with him or her. That is the commitment. Even if it may be a temporary solution to get married, one day maybe your wife or you yourself can no longer have sex, then you or your wife is back to square one. So don't marry because of this. Get to the root of the problem and marry for the right reasons.
What makes something "in the glory of God", I mean how do you do something mundane like eating or drinking "in the glory of God"?
I thank God for making me a sexual creature and for the pleasure of God's gift of sex. Its really amazing. One of the best gifts God could give us I believe.
I've come to not like the word lust, because I think people use it to say thinking sexual thoughts are sinful and thinking they are saying what the Bible says when I don't think it is.
After all God thought a lot of sexual thoughts when He was creating all the sexual organs and sexual patterns of all the plants and animals on earth. God wasn't sinning to design sex into all creation. So its coveting that is sinful and that applies to coveting people and other people's things. So I much prefer to say we aren't to covet.
Okay, I want to know. Is masturbation really that big of a deal? Granted if it involves pornography, yes but sometimes it's a good since of stress relief and can reduce our risk of certain cancers. I would not recommend it on a regular basis but the occasional session is not out of line. All that said, my advice would be for you to abstain as much as possible if you really feel you should. Either way though, the sperm will be released through a wet dream.

a wet dream isn't in itself a sin, but if you don't clean the clothes that were soiled, and wash yourself, it is considered a sin to lie in that uncleanness. It itself, isn't a sin. A wet dream that is. Masturbation however, is definitely a sin though. Especially when coupled with pornography.I'm not sure if it's a sin or not. But at least I believe it's good for our character to withstand. Porn is certainly a sin. Did the apostles touch? I hardly think so. Are wet dreams sins? Are we to fight off dreams in our sleep? I don't know. The Bible doesn't say much about masturbation.
wet dreams were never considered sins. As long as you cleaned yourself and the clothes that were soiled, there's nothing wrong with a wet dream. It was when one decided not to cleanse themselves, or their soiled garments that it would be considered sin.We must realize, that at that point in history, it was believed that the father, and the father only, contributed what we would today call the genetic make up of the child. What they called the male seed was regarded as containing an entire nascent human being. As a consequence, they regarded any wastage of the seed as tantamount to murder. This explains why masturbation, coitus interuptus and even wet dreams were considered to be serious sins.
It was when one decided not to cleanse themselves, or their soiled garments that it would be considered sin.
Leviticus 15:16-18 - 16And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even. 17And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even. 18The woman also with whom man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the even.I have been a Christian for 75 years and have never heard that . Why would that be a sin?
All food you eat, glorifies God, if you're doing it within the boundaries that He gives us. If we eat pork, because He's said it's an abomination to Him, and that when He returns He will slay all those found eating Pork's flesh, when eating pork, it's not glorifying Him, because it's in opposition to what He said His will is.What I find interesting in some here saying, "If it doesn't glorify God, it's a sin". So...is eating ice cream glorifying God? No...you're just eating ice cream, is going bowling glorifying God? No, you're just going bowling.
Is walking from the parking lot to the front door glorifying God? No, you're just walking.

I would imagine it would have to deal with sanctification. God is Holy (set apart or sanctified), and requires all that come before Him to be set apart or sanctified (holy) as well. I'd imagine that it's reckoned as sin, because it's a failure to listen to His instructions, and a deliberate choice to remain in uncleanness, but who knows.
It doesn't address the failure to cleanse oneself as sin here, but it does in that chapter, and surrounding ones regarding emissions of the flesh.
