Is Masturbation A Sin Or Not? by Nobody: 1:40pm On Jul 14, 2019
Anyone saying Masturbation is a sin is an agent of Satan.

Masturbation is the answer in order not to rush into a bad relationship or marriage.

Masturbation frees the mind from thinking about intimacy always and allows one to focus on their studies, career and worshiping God with a clear mind.

The UK Health authority has this to say on Masturbation:
https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/sexual-health/masturbation-faqs

Is masturbation normal?
Yes. Apart from the pleasure it gives, masturbating can help you learn what you like and don't like sexually. Men can also use masturbation to learn how to control their orgasms, while women can find out what helps them to achieve an orgasm. Many couples masturbate together and find it a very enjoyable part of their relationship. Other people don't and that's fine: it's a personal choice.

Can you masturbate too much?
Masturbation is harmless, but if you do it a lot your genitals may feel sore. If men do it a lot in a short space of time, they can get a slightly alarming looking swelling of the penis, called oedema, caused by fluid in the tissues. The swelling does disappear within a day or two. However, if you feel the need to masturbate is interfering with your everyday life, talking to a GP may help.

Does masturbation affect sperm count?
Masturbating will not affect a man's ability to produce sperm. Men will not run out of sperm, as they produce it continuously. After a man has ejaculated, it will take some time before he can ejaculate again. This is normal and doesn't mean there is anything wrong with his sperm.

Is masturbation safe?
Yes. For the record, masturbating doesn't cause blindness, insanity, or acne and won't make hair grow on your palms. Joking aside, there's no risk of pregnancy or catching a sexually transmitted infection (STI) from masturbating on your own.

However, there is a risk of pregnancy with mutual masturbation if sperm is transferred to the vagina on your or your partner's fingers.

There is also a risk of catching an STI if you touch someone else's genitals and then touch your own. This is because STIs can be passed on through infected semen or vaginal fluid.

There is a risk of infection if you use intimacy gadgets during masturbation and someone else with an STI has used them before you. Any object used in sex can be called a intimacy gadget, whether it's designed for this use or not. It's important to keep intimacy gadgets clean. If you're sharing intimacy gadgets, wash them between each use and, where possible, put a new condom on them each time.

Pls stop confusing science with scripture because GOD DOES NOT MAKE SENSE.


When you masturbabe, are you thinking HOLY THOUGHTS? or have you forgotten scriptures that speaks about looking at a woman lustfully? or Philippians4:8 that speaks on the kind of thoughts we should be thinking? Pls which of those thoughts can aid masturbation.


Am aware science tries to explain everything, BUT they are always BLIND SIDED by spiritual truths.

GIVE CLEAR SCRIPTURAL ANSWERS not scientific answers.

How does a man find a woman or a woman find man to marry without having lust for that woman or that man and this lust goes on both before marriage and in marriage.

How can you have HOLY THOUGHTS when you're looking for a woman to marry or a woman is looking for a man to marry?

pls stop JUSTIFYING INIQUITY.


You are perverting things.... pls quote scriptures to justify this... and you are here ranting. MARRIED PEOPLE MASTURBATE TOO.

ITS CALLED LUST... NOT LOVE.


People who marry in a Godly way are NOT lustful, they have the normal attraction BUT since they know it is only going to be satisfied in MARRIAGE, they do not need to MASTURBATE.

In case you have never read a bible, there is something called the FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT and SELF CONTROL is part of it.


Stop coming here with scientific justification for demonic activities. Masturbaters are NEVER psychologically faithful, they imagine several women over time. it is a SPIRIT. Get that clear

You are the one ranting here. The internet is not in the Bible but you are using the internet to justify your lack of knowledge in this area. For your information the internet the whole world are using now is a product of science.

You don't just go into a relationship and marry someone because you love them. You can love your friends, car, job, etc it does not mean you are going to marry them. When it come to relationship and marriage then lust is involved to make a man or a woman to go into a relationship and then marriage.
