As far as recieving Christ, that is your own personal belief system. I don't think you shouldn't be able to masterbate. Your personal relationship with God shouldn't have anything to do with your personal sex life.

There are a lot of other unhealthy things implied about sexuality.
It is ludicrous to beleive God gave us the sex drives we have and we are not supposed to take care of it in an appropriate manner (meaning not forcing someone else)
It is in fact very healthy to keep masturbating if you are in between having partners. Even at a young age. My husband was coached at a young age by a psychologist family friend to use it or risk losing it. women can go years with out orgasms and if she finds the right man, he can re awaken that in her. Not so for the males, whatever ability they lose, they cannot regain. So keep on masturbating.
Church will teach to not have premarital sex. That is so outdated a view and actually detrimental to marriages that are sexually healthy. I used to attend a christian church. I was a woman who hadnt had sex before marriage tho he had. I had no idea what I was getting into. We were so sexually mismatched it was a disaster and yet we stayed together because the church also frowns on divorce?! There's higher percentage of divorce among Christians now than non christians.
In this advice column I hear so many times from men or women who are in a relationship or marriage where one has lost interest sexually in the other and the other is torn between loving them and wanting to remain are out sexual and not lose it. Affairs or open marriage are out of the questions for these people so sadly, many end up parting. I used to masturbate cus the husband didn't even turn me on. And at first I felt guilty until God during prayers told me it was okay. I have since gone on to study are out books, both from different religious, spiritual views and scientific views. But don't take my are out word for it. Do some studies on your own. If word gets out and you catch too much flack at church, but want to stay with the religious community, I suggest at that point searching for a more open minded church and pastor. Theyre out there but you've got to look for them. Hint: a church that is welcoming to supporting homosexuals is likely to support you having a healthy sex life.
At one point my church told me to stop seeing an acupuncturist cus they were evil and of Satan.
Thats so narrow minded. It is a good thing to belive in CHrist but I think even he is appalled at what so called believers try to pass off as what God says. God cares more about your heart and that you learn and grow as a soul. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
