The motive behind the action is why i feel guilty. When i lie, my motive is to gain something with cunny way.

The guilt we feel is God's way of telling us it is wrong. Don't allow Satan tell us otherwise.. Tell the oga trying to confuse you to read Matt 5:27-28. Let's be real here. there is no way anyone would want to mastubate without having a sexual mental image in mind. And Our Saviour Jesus already gave us the answer as to whether thoughts of sex is a sin or not.

it's probably this verses

Matthew 5:27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:

Matthew 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

now check ur dictionary, look for the definition of "adultery", screenshot it and send it here

I remember saying that masturbation can be caused by a lot of things especially having high libido ..I acknowledged biological drives.
I only shared an experience.. not making anything up, am open minded to listen to what others say

if you knew any better, you would know that the spirit also controls the physical.
thanks for your comment
Stop shooting yourself in the foot. I tell you this you will remain with your problems if you keep treating your problems the wrong way. For the fact that the spiritual controls the physical doesn't mean all physical things become useless in itself, mind you many physical things you see are also made from the spirit. So is psychology, science and all.

Your problem of masturbating been spiritual is a blown off from reality, Little do you know you have same problem as a drunkard, drug addict, gluttony chain smoker. It's called addiction majorly being controlled by the dopamine hormones and other hormones. The sin in it is the behavior itself, you can get better by just moderating them, because those substance are not demonic, they only should be used correctly if need be, food, drugs, sex, drinks etc.

You just need medical and psychological help that's all.
When you mention spiritual angle, then it means there is now a spiritual force making you to do this, making it sounds like your kind of masturbation is now different from all other people. And if that's is true, then masturbation wasn't your problem, if you say so then you're cutting leaves, you need exorcism.

Simple truth is that you are deciding to play the naive character of a typical over-religious man even if though you deny it by saying you give credence to science which you don't believe yourself.

From your reply we can't argue sorry. Bible is written in parables and everything in it has interpretation. You read the bible like story book. Good luck.

Haha I certainly wouldn't bother arguing with someone who said masturbation was unclean. I only would imagine how you would tell your patient to produce their sperm for sperm count if you were a doctor. silly religious men everywhere.

I don't know where to start with you...
if indeed you are Christian please answer me this question.

during the process of masturbating doesn't the person committing the act fantasize/lust after a woman/man just satisfy that orgie ?

What did Christ say about those who commit adultery
did he restrict it to physical union.?

some lust without masturbating but its a must in the act of masturbating..
so is it a sin or not ?
Am not a baby christian!!!!
Masturbation is an act of self sex satisfation by imagination or sight seeing of opposite sex or same sex.
This started back in the jail house because inmates incarcerated are denied of sex for several years, this is usual practice which continues till today nothing spiritual but psychological

Study these benefits

1. Pleasure and convenience.

Upon being challenged for masturbating in the marketplace, the ancient philosopher Diogenes the Cynic replied, 'If only it were so easy to soothe hunger by rubbing an empty belly.' According to Diogenes, the god Hermes, taking pity on his son Pan, gave him the gift of masturbation, which Pan then taught to the shepherds. Masturbation has no need of special equipment, sexual intercourse, or even a partner. Although it is often looked upon as the poor relative of sexual intercourse, many couples engage in mutual masturbation, either alongside or instead of intercourse, to simplify, improve, or enrich their sexual lives and arrive at orgasm.

2. Fewer complications.

Masturbation is safe as well as convenient. Unlike sexual intercourse, it is very unlikely to lead to pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases such as human papilloma virus, chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, and HIV/AIDS.

3. Stronger, more intimate relationships.

Contrary to the popular perception, there is, at least in women, a positive correlation between frequency of masturbation and frequency of intercourse. People who masturbate more are more sexually driven, and mutual masturbation is likely to increase the frequency and variety of sexual contact. Both in the performance and in the observation, masturbation can teach partners about each other’s pleasure centers, proclivities, and particularities. If one partner is more sexually driven than the other, masturbation can provide him or her with a balancing outlet.

4. Better reproductive health.

In men, masturbation flushes out old sperm with low motility and reduces the risk of prostate cancer. If practiced before sexual intercourse, it can delay orgasm in men suffering from premature ejaculation. In women, it increases the chances of conception by altering the conditions in the vagina, cervix, and uterus. It also protects against cervical infections by increasing the acidity of the cervical mucus and flushing out pathogens. In both women and men, it strengthens the muscles in the pelvic floor and genital area and contributes to extending the years of sexual activity.

5. Faster sleep.

Masturbation invites sleep by reducing stress and releasing feel-good hormones such as dopamine, endorphins, oxytocin, and prolactin. Orgasm in particular brings on a state of stillness, serenity, and sleepiness, sometimes called ‘the little death’ (Fr. la petite mort), which can usher in a deeper sleep.

6. Improved cardiovascular fitness.

Masturbation is, in effect, a form of light exercise. Compared to regular exercise, it is more effective or efficient at reducing tension and releasing feel-good hormones. The muscles and blood vessels relax, improving blood flow and lowering heart rate and blood pressure. No surprise, then, that there is an inverse correlation between frequency of orgasm and death from coronary heart disease.

7. Brighter mood and other psychological benefits.

Masturbation reduces stress and releases feel-good hormones, which lift mood and reduce the perception of pain. It promotes better, more restorative sleep, locking in sleep’s myriad benefits. It enables younger people in particular to explore their sexual identity and master their sexual impulses, leading to a happier, healthier sexuality, as well as greater self-awareness, self-control, and self- esteem. It offers an escape from the demands and limitations of reality, an outlet for the imagination in fantasy, and a medium for the memory in nostalgia. And it culminates in a transcending experience that unites mind with body and life in death

you enlisted the positives but blindly omitting the consequences which if you search you will see.
its like as if you didn't know smoking cigarette/weeds or watching pornography has its positives to the satisfaction of the flesh but invariably has its downside mentally & biologically which you will agree. especially especially when such process become an addiction.

plus earthy wise you may think its right but heavenly wise what do you think ?

You even avoided my plain question judging from Christ's teaching ?

God's word/will is perfect, its hard for the fallen/weak flesh that would want to satisfy itself anyhow without thinking of the consequences.

your quote invariably suggest as a Christian you support lustful thought after women which is an ingredient in achieving organsm through masturbation countering your Master's instruction (God's will)

and may I ask another question.
does such acts make you holy/affect your holiness in which you have by God's Holy Spirit.

having sex with married partner is considered holy matrimony. where will premarital sex or self sex be categorised ?

I leave that Truth to you to find out if you judge by God's word & not worldly way

& so its because it started in a jail house you think its right.
what are obviously the consequences of being imprisoned...
satisfying sexual urge in which like limited freedom an inmate would seek to find an escape thus committing more crime or sin.
