Er means I don't know what to say to you. Perhaps someone from the gates of saint peter can help out?

I feel it does not involve a sex partner and since the bible didn't mention it

Jesus asked us not to think of a woman lustfully because it is equivalent to fornication or adultery.

Logically when you look at a woman lustfully you get an erection. Just an erection and it is a sin now compare with getting an erection and stroking your own dddiiick and cumming! Nigga it is so simple!

Pls Note: getting an erection is not a sin but getting one from lustful thoughts is.

You sound like it's become a problem. You don't have to go as far ask asking if or not it is a sin.

How do you feel about it. Does it feel like another random habit or interest like watching football or do you have a gut feeling that this a quite serious? Do you find that you still do even if you don't want to? Does it feel like you are not in charge anymore? Do you fear you could ruin your future intimate relationships? I'm guessing the answers to this questions is yes.

If I'm right, then I think you will agree with me that you need to find a way out of this mess. I think there can be serious consequences if you don't act fast. In fact any habit that can be addictive is dangerous. Trust me addiction can be expensive... Very expensive! Sin or no sin, if it's interfering with the smooth living of your day-to-day life and taking a negative toll on your psyche, my friend you need to watch it.


Not trying to scare you mate, just trying to help you assess the situation more clearly.

And yes, I believe it's a sin.

I wish you the best.

Readers are Leaders, the more you read, the more you know. Who told you the bible didn't say anything about that, perhaps you've never read the part, well...
1 Corinthians 6:18-19
18. Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.
19. Do 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;
The fact that something is pleasing doesn't mean its not sin. Discard every bad advice from nL and pray to God to help you stay away.....(Flee not walk)

6 months? You should give yourself some credit. You'll be surprised that some people cannot go two days without doing it. I think with some determination and God's help, you will win.

I know I make it sound it so easy. It may not be very easy. The question to ask is if it's worth it.

Yes, you need prayers. Good things need prayers. Bad things too. Everything need 's prayers. Talking to someone you can trust can be a good idea too, for accountability. You could go for counselling too.

Help yourself by totally getting rid of things that can serve as triggers. Run away from them. I'm sure you understand what I mean. Prov 4:23 : Guard your heart with all diligence for out it flows the issues of life.

There would be bad days, tough days. Days wen you think you can't go on. But you know what? You are stronger than you think you are.

Most importantly, decide from the start that even if you slip along the way, you will bounce back, no matter what. Very important.

And never give in to the fear that you will never be over it. Act and think like you are over it already. Visualise it.

And idle hand is the devil's tool. Find creative and productive things to fill your time with.

I wish you the best.

Thanks to you, I'preciate you.... God used you to arrest and change my mindset toward lust.

Self servicing is a rather complex matter.

The Bible is totally silent about this matter but then I always ask; when you masturbate, what do you think about? This is where the complexity sets in.

I really don’t think a single man or woman wil be thinking about a football game or a tractor when self servicing but probably about someone who he or she is not really married to which makes it lusting which translates to sin..

Married people who self service thinking about their hubby or wives may really be practicing a sinless act but I believe it will be unwholesome to self service thinking about an illicit sexual act.

Nevertheless, this subject remains one with strong debate where some believe that as long as actual sexual intercourse is not involved, it is sinless and harmless but this is my take on the matter.
