I'm not Christian, either...but, I looked it up, and every article I've read about the matter says that nowhere in the Bible are the actual words "Masturbation is a sin." Some Christians have confused the story of Onan as a story about his masturbation because he "spilled his seed" or whatever, but it wasn't an act of masturbation. Yes, Onan was killed for "spilling his seed," but it wasn't because he masturbated.

I don't remember all the details. Just type in "masturbation sin" in Google. lol. You'll find the same articles I found.




I agree. Why is it that people put so much faith in ancient books that were written thousands of years ago? Times change, and not all people are Christians.

Totally. I mean, some xtians I talk to say that Christianity did change with the times because it changed from the old testament to the new testament....but the "new" testament was written 2000 freaking years ago!! Things have changed since then. Geesh. That's one of the many reasons why I actually identify myself more with the religion of Wicca. Now there's a religion that really changes with the times. haha Also, has anyone noticed that xtianity is very much a fear religion? I mean, not to insult anyone really, but it seems like underlying that little message of "forgivness for the select few", is the threat of "if you don't do exactly as we say then you are sinning and you will go to hell". That just doesn't settle well with me. Cause it's condemming half (more actually) the world's population to rot in hell. Now, don't get me wrong, i'm not saying that Christianity is bad per say, i actually quite like the Mystic Christians (gnostics and such), but I just don't like it when someone comes up to me and says "your goddess and god is an abomination" (sp?). I mean, they say that it isn't to insult me, but, how the heck should I take it then???? Let me call their god a disgrace and see how they act.

btw....we got way off topic i'm afraid......sawy. lol

Could you please point out places in the Bible where it says that masturbation is a sin? I am interested in knowing this.

I've researched that extensively. I've never found anything of the sort. It might mess with the so-called "7 Deadly Sins", but thats Catholicism and not christianity.

I'm really sorry, but wtf is a sin? Like O/H? :confused:

long live pornography. the good kind i mean.

Oh, amen to that.

Oh shut up. what is so wrong with doing something for yourself?

And as for whoever started this thread: penisbot.com
Its a porn search engine.

alrighty i forgot i posted about masterbation so ill clear this up

first off im sry its not in the bible im catholic and i read it in one of my catholic teen handbooks

it says here that masterbation is considered a sin because it does not result in the creation of new life. it is also wrong because it is self serving and god created sex not for self gratification but to unify a husband and wife it also says it is pleasure without any thought of love or regard for new life which goes against why it was created
but it also says things like no oral or anal cause thats for pleasure even if its with someone you love thats exploration not yeah lol

so i guess you dont have to believe it but idk i just dont masterbate cause it feels wrong to me idk

Hmm, so basically sex has to be plain and boring for ya'll? Wow. Sorry. lol Personally, I'm glad I'm wiccan. (and, just for the record, I'm still a virgin and planning on staying that way for at least a while. you know, till i find someone that i actually *really* like)

how are you supposed to do that with yourself?

What a nice way to put it, Kassie.

What? I was just being blunt. lol

There are few correlations between the Catholic Chruch and the bible as other christians see it. Masturbation, for example. Once again, THE BIBLE DOES NOT CONDEMN MASTURBATION! I once heard an interesting point. If we were not meant to masturbate, then why do our hands hang so close to our crouchs? Odd and laughable maybe, but its a good point.
