Masturbation (please only answer if your Christian)
Question Posted Thursday January 29 2009, 3:04 pm
Is it really bad to masturbate? I really really really want to. I have not had sex and plan not to until marriage. But I really need masturbation. Is it bad to masturbate. Even if its only every once in awhile. Like every month or every other month?(I havnt masturbated since november)
It doesn't even have to be a sexual thing, Many younger children, toddlers etc. do it for comfort. Just like discovering fingers and toes they learn it feels good. It's pretty much a universal thing with teens of both sexes. Statistically it is said that 90% of males do and 78% females of all ages. I believe but don't quote me that that's from Masters and Johnson.
Your bond with God is firmly set and can't be wiped out because of this. You won't go to hell, go blind or suffer for this no matter what they say. You're a Christian and always will be no matter what you may do sexually. You can't change your status there as his bond is solid and never fades.
Bottom line is that people of all creeds, beliefs, races, ages do this and it's no big deal if you do. It's normal, you can't hurt yourself etc. etc. If you enjoy it continue doing so if not than don't. Above all don't feel any guilt.

THINKPOSITIVE7 answered Thursday January 29 2009, 3:50 pm: Hello, I was asked the same question a few days back and I can use the same answer I used before here..that is a very frequently asked question.Almost everyone in the world by the age of 18-20 have masturbated or attempted to,it is instinct and it gives you a chance to explore and understand your body. This is not a sin although it may feel wrong to receive sexual pleasure from yourself,all things related to sex has been correlated to sin but masturbation itself is not,however when you add in pornography for arousal while masturbating it does become a sin because it is form of fornication.It is stated that sex before marriage is a sin and sex is an act done with two or more people..usally the penetration of the penis into the vagina,oral sex etc..It is natural to feel uncomfortable when you first contemplate and or begin masterbating because you may feel that God is watching etc but God installed this sexuap drive inside of us and in the meatime until you get married it is natural and healthy before you delve into sex. I encourage masterbation ovr sex before marriage for a number of reasons.So have fun and get acquainted with yourself,because if you are not comfortable with your self it is not good idea to become involved with someone sexually.I hope this helped,If you have any further questions dont be afraid to ask..the best of luck to you SINCERLY,DIAMOND:) [ THINKPOSITIVE7's advice column | Ask THINKPOSITIVE7 A Question ]
