You just showed that you were asking to bash. Didn't you see my earlier responses including the one with a biblical reference by Christ? Why then did you keep asking?

Now you're the one sounding like there's a fight here. If you are a christian, you should have understood from all the scriptural references given on this forum. Anything outside sex in the confines of marriage is sin.

Is this how u people think? U say something, and someone asks u a simple question that demands ur clarification on what u said and u ar here saying this? How on earth did being an atheist enter this matter now? What concerns my question about someone sinning against God with atheism? I thought atheism means unbelief in God? So, what link does the idea that masturbation while married is sin against God have to do with atheism?
It's a simple question, how exactly is masturbating with the thoughts of ur wife or husband sin as u claim whereas having sex with ur wife or husband isn't?
If u don't have points to answer my question, u can easily say that u don't have points to back up ur claim rather than making it sound like both of us ar engaging in a battle.

Sin is anything against Love. there are sins against God,Jesus or Holy spirit( mark 3), the soul and body.
masturbation is NOT a sin against God but a SIn against YOUR BODY.

Any believer that is still been control or still indulging into masturbation, need deliverance, masturbation is a bad habit from the pit of hell, ask God for the grace and power to overcome the spirit of masturbation, all unrighteousness is sin, 1 John 5:17.

Na only who no get babe fit do soapee
To me masturbation wasn't a sin, it was a c*ck massaging technique. Although masturbation made me a monster in bed. Learning how to control ejaculation and fine tune the pleasure between me and my partner. The first time i inserted my dog in a doughnut i couldn't go more than one round before been knocked out and thats about 8 mins. But now omo e be like vigil, i dey clear schedule.

Its good for those that dont last in bed to improve(libido) . Made my johnbull longer by a whole inch(jalquin) no jokes.

But i have long graduated from the class of masturbation and i still know how to control the girls mood during sessions.



baddo, I see u grin grin

Oga, I no get time for online fights, it makes no sense fighting with someone u can't see. Na simple question I ask u, abi does asking simple questions warrant fight?
From ur posts here which I went through even before asking u for clarifications the first time, u first said that all forms of sexual acts outside wedlock is sin, u also said that someone cannot masturbate without lusting after someone and Jesus condemned lusting after someone u aren't married to, otherwise it becomes fornication or adultery.
U can see that all these point at sexual acts and lusts outside marriage, as u also claim.
From ur points, one can understand that masturbation is a sin because it involves lusting after someone u aren't married to, that I also agree with because Jesus condemned lusting after someone u aren't married to - Matt 5 vs 28.
Lust means strong sexual desire for someone.
So, what makes masturbating with the thoughts of ur own wife or husband, which is entirely likened to lusting after that ur wife or husband sin, whereas having sex with that same wife or husband of urs isn't sin?

yea I know what SENSUALITY means.... But what made you think a monopolized pleasure that doesn't hurt another party is a sin as the verses above clearly did not states that, other important point above goes below

idolatry which cannot involve just you alone, someone else has to be involve,
socery: also cannot involve you alone.
enmity: means being an enemy I think, so you have to be enemy of someone else, thus not involving you alone
strife: means conflict of violence, so it's not a monopolized act, thus involving someone else.
jealousy and envy: we both know what that means
fits of anger: you have to be angry with someone else
rivalries: you have to be a rival to someone else, you can't rival yourself
dissensions: means expression (spoken) or strong disagreement, so it has to involve another party
divisions: we both know what means
drunkenness: one ends up hurting others by use of abuse words or by a physical combat act.

So my question is... How are your highlighted points monopolized that made you think it's a sin sice self-service will not hurt another person?

And about the division, it's just my reason behind disliking religions....I know it off topic tho.
The first thing I mentioned was that this sin is a SIN AGAINST YOUR OWN BODY.

Your body has many desires: E.g

1. Hunger for food

2. Thirst for Water

3. Desire for sexual pleasure

For instance, GLUTTONY is a sin

What is GLUTTONY: Excessive desire for food

You can see that it doesn't necessarily means other party has to be involve. You can sin against your own BODY

You asked if masturbation is a "sin", while you religious people conduct massive fornication in your churches! No group or cult is more hypocritical than religious people!

Masturbation is actually good. In fact, it is healthy! It is a great stress reducer - there's evidence that having sex or masturbating can reduce our resting heart rate for up to 12 hours. Plus, it does our sex lives the world of good to learn our sexual rhythms. We connect through masturbation to the types of action that we see in erotic or pornographic visual stimuli. This feeds our sexual fantasies, which is an enrichment of our creative process.

Its not just the men who enjoy the benefits of masturbating; it is the women too who gain a lot out of it. It is good for women's health to do so. The only thing that should be taken care of is that it should not become an obsessive disorder. If you are able to control that, then there is no harm in doing it.

In fact, many sexologists and clinicians believe that when a woman masturbates, it helps her know a lot more about her sexual behaviour and responses. During masturbation the fluid from the sexual glands help in increased circulation in these organs. Some women prefer to masturbate to ease their menstrual cramps. Over 70 per cent of women have reported to have experienced better orgasm while masturbating, rather than having sex. So, that may imply women having a better time off with themselves than with men. The health benefit is that it prevents cervical infection and urinary tract infection.

For men, apart from it being a release, it helps them get rid of their old sperm. After masturbation, the old sperm is released making way for new ones. Also, the risk of having prostate cancer is also reduced.

Apart from the medical benefits, masturbation has emotional and psychological benefits. It is a good mood elevator and an excellent stress buster. It also helps improve sexual relationship with yourself as well as your partner. It is important to not view masturbation as something immature, bad and shameful. It is something very normal which sexually active people do. It is not a bad thing and should not be viewed as a taboo. Masturbation has good effects on your body and mind. But the main catch in it is not to be doing it like a neurotic fixation. If that part is under control, just go ahead and do it.
bro point of correction old sperm does not need to leave before new ones are formed...instead they are broken down and recycled into the body with its nutrients and new ones are produced to fill up the shortage...so don't say you need to mastubate to release old sperms for new ones to come..unfortunately mastubation has adverse effects which you would not wish for urself.....

You defined GLUTTONY to be Excessive desire for for(it's actually think it's suppose to be excessive consumption of food).... That's by the way...

The word excessiveness there is the real sin as it is said that too much of everything is bad so that does not justify a moderate self-service (since it's not excess) or does it?

It was easy for them to quote verse 18 but the next verse said:

19Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

Jam 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one [point], he is guilty of all.
Sin is Sin. As a bilever you are God workmanship so you should avoid it. But thank God for Jesus the sin of the all world has been paid through Jesus. Sin is not an issue with God if you have Jesus. But as a workmanship we should work, act and think like our master Jesus.
For me I don't have an answer to weather it is a sin or not becos since I have Jesus sin is not in my dictionary. But I don't sin because the devil will take advantage of me. My advice is to cut any sin off and enjoys God's promises through Jesus. Happy Christmas to you all

Not to support or oppose the subject matter, but can u explain how masturbating with the thoughts of one's wife or husband is a sin whereas having sex with him or her isn't a sin?

The act of masturbation itself is sin no matter who you're thinking while indulging in it. It's just like a woman who puts cucumber in her body while thinking about her husband.

You knew what I had in mind. Excessive consumption of food. And you are missing the point.

Consumption of food is a good thing.

You need to justify masturbation first as a good act before talking about it being excessive or not

Psychological fornication. wetin be that sir
something you committed through your mind but not actually physical.


sometimes you might have a strong feeling of having sex with someone but you keep holding yourself not to do it, but if you can't hold yourself and the person you want to sleep with is not around, the last thing you resort to do is to masturbate which will fulfill your inborn desire!

Good, that's why I want to know what makes it sin when u do it thinking about ur husband or wife. What exactly makes it sin? Just as killing is sin and what makes it sin is that Bible condemns it. If it can't be directly derived from the Bible it can at least be indirectly derived, just as 419 is not directly derived from the Bible as sin but it can be indirectly derived as sin by linking it to the sin of telling lies.

And if you think masturbation is good, that's your business. I masturbated for over 20years. I know what I am saying. If you see anybody that uses blade to cut his body for blood to be gushing out, that's what men masturbators do to their sperm.

I've learnt a lot about masturbation here, thanks OP.
Is use of sex drugs a Sin? I don't know, but I know that sex drugs silently kill the guys. More than ever before in History of humanity, an alarming percentage of Guys are now developing Cardiac Arrests, permanent damage to Vision/blindness and Erectile Dysfunction in their 30s and 40s, total or partial paralysis in their 40s and 50s. The upsurge and cause has been confirmed to be the after-effect of using aphrodisiacs such as Aloma, Baby Oku, Origin, Viagra, etc... as teenagers and in their 20s. You DON'T need sex drugs, with exercises and kegels, you'll last 30 minutes. Sometimes, one can even last more depending on the mood. Any girl that's not satisfy with that is not your wife. Don't lose your Glorious Destiny just because you want to appear as a champion to a futureless girl. There are still good girls, wife material that'll love you for your natural self. smiley
When shall men stop killing themselves just to make some inconsiderate women/girls happy?

A deist does not believe in GOD: certainly not the true GOD, Jehovah.

Beside Him, is there any other GOD?


This kind of assertion that without your God there is no other God is responsible for most religious conflicts and killings because it's annoying.

Most people believe and know that there is a supreme being called God, Allah, Dei, Brama etc. There are over 4,200 ways (religions) in the world through which people relate with this supreme being.

Different people and cultures have different considerations on what is right or wrong. What is immoral in Nigeria may not be immoral in China.

People should stop claiming that their religion and doctrine is the best or only right way.

Adam and Eve automatically became ashamed after they committed sin, they didn't need any body to tell them that they have sinned because the sin caused the shame they felt and from what you said you are ashamed of your self after committing the act, which if it wasn't a sin you wouldn't feel the way you feel after, but the fact that you feel ashamed of it then your inner man is not comfortable with it. The way the inner man of Adam wasn't comfortable with it when he sinned causing the shame hour felt thereafter
