What is masturbation?

The stimulation of the genitals with the hand for sexual pleasure.

Synonyms: Auto-eroticism, self-gratification, self-stimulation.

At this end you will be wondering where I’m heading to precisely, right?

Sex is God’s invention. He is the mastermind behind it and His creation is worth far more to him that it is to us. This beautiful word of love was created as a gift to be experienced between a husband and wife, Hebrews 13:4).

Why Sex, because masturbation was derived from sex, the act of pleasing one’s pleasure in an abusive way. In fact, an older definition of masturbation is “self-abuse”. Although more modern dictionaries may no longer carry this definition, they are still linked together under self-abuse:

SELF-ABUSE, noun

1. Abuse of oneself or one’s abilities.

2. Masturbation

I knew it would come to this

Na wa o.

Words fail me!!!

Abeg show me where its written in the bible not to masturbate?

What do we call a person who masturbates

Fornicator?
Adulterer?
Idol worshipper?
Thief?
Killer?

I dint think it's a sin if they are not called any of those.
Smoking, drinking and gambling are not sin too.

Vaseline crew dOn take it to new level oo

A spiritually unhealthy habit, masturbation instills attitudes that foster self-centeredness and corrupt the mind. * A masturbator may also grow to view others as mere sex objects​—tools for sexual satisfaction. Sex becomes separated from love and is relegated to a reflex that gives momentary pleasure and relieves sexual tension. But that relief is only temporary. In reality, instead of deadening the body’s members “as respects sexual immorality, uncleanness, [and] uncontrolled sexual passion,” masturbation arouses them.​—Colossians 3:5.

The apostle Paul wrote: “Beloved ones, let us cleanse ourselves of every defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” (2 Corinthians 7:1) If you are struggling to heed these words, do not give in to despair. Jehovah is always “ready to forgive” and to help. (Psalm 86:5; Luke 11:9-13) Indeed, your self-condemning heart and your efforts to give up the habit​—despite occasional relapses—​indicate a good attitude. Keep in mind, too, that “God is greater than our hearts and knows all things.” (1 John 3:20) God sees more than our sins; he sees the whole person. This knowledge enables him to hear with sympathy our earnest pleas for mercy. So never weary of turning to God in humble and earnest prayer, like a child who goes to his father when in trouble. Jehovah will bless you with a cleansed conscience. (Psalm 51:1-12, 17; Isaiah 1:18) Of course, you need to take positive steps in harmony with your prayers. For example, you would strive to avoid all forms of pornography as well as bad associates. *

If your problem with masturbation persists, please speak about the matter with a Christian parent or a spiritually mature and caring friend. *​—Proverbs 1:8, 9; 1 Thessalonians 5:14; Titus 2:3-5.

Someone cannot masturbate and rest in peace again. The hand, V/P and Vaseline all belong to same person, haba!!! is it your masturbation??

God didn't really make any references to this issue of self gratification...... All the symptoms and issues connected to it are simply man made. Someone might cry about onanism but it doesn't correlate to thine issue of masturbation from my POV

Read Leveticus 22 vs 4b. It says it all.

A 2000 year old book tells you people what to do?

If you find masturbation gratifying and absolves you of fornication, is it not a good thing then?

Religion be causing problem since time immemorial.

Nothing kills the spirit like masturbation, it is a channel that opens the door to other negative vices like porn and creates a craving in you that cannot be satisfied. It even affects productivity.

it is still masturbation implied. Anything that would bring out semen read it carefully is very clear. So you are telling me wet dream that is beyond your control would make you unclean how can something you cannot control make you unclean. Is it even logical?

the best way to stop masturbation is to protect your eyes from what you see. Don't watch porn and don't expose yourselves to nude or immoral pics as we see on nairaland. Just protect your eyes. Your eyes is the window to your heart

bro.... i didn't say masturbation is not a sin oo... i just try to make that verse more clearer ...masturbation is bad in itself... I'm not defending such practice at all

SpeedBee:

is semen the same thing with menstrual blood wetin dey do unself and Jesus said what comes out of the heart makes one unclean. Underline the heart in the sentence . Does mensuration come from the heart or does masturbation come from the heart?
