Wow. I dont want to offend your relgion or anything, I dont even know what religion you are. but I do know that its not a sin. Nowhere in the bible does it say that masturbating is a sin. If you do it, nothing is going to happen to you. Your not going to go to hell and God is not going to hate you. You can do it and if you really feel that badly about it like you have done something wrong, then I guess. repent afterwards? but im christian [ lutheran ] and nowhere does it say that its a sin. =/

im catholic and i attended catholic school- truth be told, they all do it. its better to relieve yourself than to do someone else to satisfy hormones or hurt someone because you can control yourself. i was taught religion for god-knows how many years and in sex ed they never said we couldnt. its a taboo and as long as you kep it to yourself, theres really nothing wrong with it. thats just my opinion, comming from a catholic. if you want more info let me know! <3

I take it you're Roman Catholic.
I'm an agnostic, but I came from a Roman Catholic background, so I'll attempt to answer this as well as I can. Masturbation is considered a sin within the Roman Catholic Church, because it interferes with the supposed procreative-only purpose of sex, according to the Magisterium.
However, to put this in a real-life perspective, many Roman Catholics still masturbate. It's considered a venial sin, as far as I'm aware.
I'm not telling you to jerk off or to not jerk off, but masturbation is probably the least of your worries.
Hope this helps.

I presume that you're Catholic.
I'm not, but I did a little research.

My understanding is that it's considered a "grave" sin, but not necessarily a mortal one. But you should talk to your priest about this issue, if you feel comfortable with that.
Having said that, I'll note that the Church's position on masturbation (and abortion, and contraception) has changed over time. They were not always considered sins, I believe.
Human beings are sexual creatures with desires like all other living things. I must admit that as an atheist, I have trouble understanding why something as completely natural as masturbation is considered so harmful. It's not as if any of the the sperm that you lose (presuming that you're male) would otherwise have become children; you're far too young for that.
Not to mention the whole issue of wet dreams. Those are entirely out of your control, and yet they result in the loss of sperm. Are they sins? How can something you have *absolutely no control over* be a sin?
Sorry, I don't mean to question your faith. These are just questions which have always puzzled me.
Good luck!

I don't think just because you masturbate you're going to go to hell or anything. It's not a sin. But it depends on how you look at it and how you were raised while growing up. Masturbating is actually pretty healthy.
