You'll get some mixed repsonses from people on whether or not is a sin and whether or not it's objectifying women...
But from a medical/scientific perspective, all of the doctors seem to be in agreement that it's healthy and a good alternative for men who aren't sexually active since not keeping the plumbing moving down there can lead to infections and prostate issues later in life.

Its an addiction that probably could be compared to heroin, Its very difficult to get free from it, yet it is very possible, and I'm living proof, I couldn't even be alone with myself without doing it, but when you start to actually fight against what you let your mind think about or fantasize about you will begin to see, The whole act begins in your mind and the goal is self control. Yes its a sin! although most christians who have been unable to get free and are bound by this addiction will fill your head with all sorts of excuses, but remember this, there's a list for sins that if you live in these sins as if they weren't sins.....you will not enter the kingdom of heaven......a major key in finding freedom is reconizing its a sin.....then fight like your life depended on it.....IT DOES!....the truth will set you free, never give up! and don't let condemnation drag you down to giving up the battle. you will find victory in Jesus

It is a sin to look at women in bikinis and it maybe a sin for women to wear a bikinis. Job made a covenant with his eyes not to look. Women are to be modest: "In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with modesty and sobriety"

I think that Jesus knew how to teach in a way that people did not forget what He said.

There is a lot of teaching in the Bible about lust. Not to covet is one of the commandments.
"You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife,
or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."
King James Bible
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life,
is not of the Father, but is of the world.

1) I have a lot of female friends, and a lot of those female friends dress 'provocatively'. That does not mean I want to have sex with them at all. Same goes of cousins, sisters, nieces, etc. Because that would be kind of strange.
2) Why should I follow the Bible? Depending on what and how you mean by sin, of course.
3) I thought before the crap hit the fan, Adam and Eve were naked. So it wasn't a sin to walk around not clothed at all then...but now it's a sin to walk around half-clothed?

I have a friend who dressed provocatively and landed what we all thought was a wonderful husband. Then she gained a few pounds and he ran off and left her for another girl. She has no plans to be provocative anymore because she does not want to have to go through another divorce.

I see spitting will not be an option for anyone you cohabitate with.

Sir, I am not such a blasphemer that I would suggest that Jesus ever spoke in figurative language or hyperbole. This situation clearly demands that the young man castrate himself.

That sperm might have some kind of coloration with zinc I could at least understand. However before we discuss this, I must request that you provide for me the scientific research paper that shows that a male penis is capable of absorbing nutrients from female vaginal fluid!

You don't like it... you don't do it.
Even cry "Sin!" as much as you want... what you like to call the things you like or dislike is up to your own.
But if you want to make medical assertions, better make sure that the research does indeed say what you claim. (Hint: masturbation does not lead to zinc depletion, unless the subject is also adheres to a diet low on zinc. And even then you'd had to be active all day long.)

Antarctika : Is living without sinning even remotely possible?
Well, no, of course not. Given that it's a sin to even think about it, it's a pretty tall order to live without sin. But take heart! Jesus sacrificed himself, that all sins, forever, will be forgiven, and right back to Adam, who was unwise enough to think about it...

The remedy isn't to cut off ones hand or pluck out their eye, its to acknowledge the truth! that if someone walks through their life in ongoing sin, not repenting or trying to turn from it but accepting it and living in it, they will not inherit salvation, Just as Jesus warned, to cut off your hand is the seriousness of the way you ought to be thinking when dealing with sin. not just touching yourself, but any sin
