I always wonder how somebody having sex before marriage will boldly come out and be shouting that mastubation is a sin. No be me holy pass so i will talk this from the point of logic. Mastubating to relieve urself once in a while is a very good thing. However, mastubation addiction is as deadly as all other addictions including sex, beer or smoking addiction. I will advice you to do it moderately. Even civilized doctors dat havent turned to pastor will tell you the importance of self service.

In forthcoming song of Solomon below, The Breasts are compared to fawns; a man’s penis as sweet fruit and his Instruments as a bag of myrrh; the woman as a garden of pomegranates that should be eaten; lips and mouths are honey and milk.

Sultry/dirty song teaching f.o.r.e.p.l.a.y

Song of Solomon. Christian folks, make una use am tey dey wink wink cheesy cheesy
How graceful are your feet in sandals, O queenly maiden! Your rounded thighs are like jewels, the work of a master hand. Your navel is a rounded bowl that never lacks mixed wine. Your belly is a heap of wheat, encircled with lilies. Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle. Your neck is like an ivory tower. Your eyes are pools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-rabbim. Your nose is like a tower of Lebanon, overlooking Damascus. Your head crowns you like Carmel, and your flowing locks are like purple; a king is held captive in the tresses. How fair and pleasant you are, O loved one, delectable maiden! You are stately as a palm tree, and your breasts are like its clusters. I say I will climb the palm tree and lay hold of its branches. Oh, may your breasts be like clusters of the vine, and the scent of your breath like apples, and your kisses like the best wine that goes down smoothly, gliding over lips and teeth. I am my beloved’s, and his desire is for me. Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the fields, and lodge in the villages; let us go out early to the vineyards, and see whether the vines have budded, whether the grape blossoms have opened and the pomegranates are in bloom. There I will give you my love.







I compare you, my love, to a mare among Pharaoh’s chariots. Your cheeks are comely with ornaments, your neck with strings of jewels. We will make you ornaments of gold, studded with silver. While the king was on his couch, my nard gave forth its fragrance. My beloved is to me a bag of myrrh that lies between my breasts. My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms in the vineyards of En-gedi. Ah, you are beautiful, my love; ah, you are beautiful; your eyes are doves. Ah, you are beautiful, my beloved, truly lovely.

I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys. As a lily among brambles, so is my love among maidens. As an apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among young men. With great delight I sat in his shadow, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. He brought me to the banqueting house, and his intention toward me was love. Sustain me with raisins, refresh me with apples; for I am faint with love. O that his left hand were under my head, and that his right hand embraced me!

Your lips distill nectar, my bride; honey and milk are under your tongue; the scent of your garments is like the scent of Lebanon. A garden locked is my sister, my bride, a garden locked, a fountain sealed. Your channel is an orchard of pomegranates with all choicest fruits, henna with nard, nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense, myrrh and aloes, with all chief spices– a garden fountain, a well of living water, and flowing streams from Lebanon. Awake, O north wind, and come, O south wind! Blow upon my garden that its fragrance may be wafted abroad. Let my beloved come to his garden, and eat its choicest fruits….

Tell him to first stop watching pornography

You can't masturbate without an inspiration (don't know for everyone)

And ask him to work on his mind, what he fills it with and the imaginations in his head

Pls tell him, he will become unproductive out of guilt.
Shalom

What is wrong with nairalanders for eves sake. Every now and then masturbation topic hits front page.

For your information, over 90 percent of men at some point in their life have engaged in this act. Infact most beautiful ladies that you see and admire are all chronic masturbators.

For fuc.ks sake just live your life and try to make something out of it. Dont let mastrubation control you and if by any case you fell into it,wash your hands with soup and apply hand sanitizers to avoid smearing your sperm in someone's beautiful hands.I heard covid19 do live in the sperm too.

Last question I want to ask,what is the solution to the sex needs of those ladies who were not able to attract a man to marry them?

MEMORY VERSE:
"What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?." -- 1Corinthians 6:19

BIBLE PASSAGE: 1CORINTHIANS 6:13-20

13. Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body [is] not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

14. And God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by His power.

15. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make [them] members of a harlot? Certainly not!

16. Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body [with her?] For "the two," He says, "shall become one flesh."

17. Co But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit [with Him.]

18. Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.

19. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit [who is] in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

20. For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.

INTRODUCTION
The truth that God created humanity as "male and female" reveals that we are created as sexual beings (Genesis 1:27). God's command to "be fruitful and multiply" cannot be fulfilled without sex (Genesis 1:28). Sex was designed to consummate the lifetime Union between a man and woman (Genesis 4:1; Matt. 19:6). Purity is a reflection of God's own character. Hence, sexual purity is a treasure to be guarded and valued. However, sex has been misused and abused (Romans 1:24-25) in the world because of sin (Romans 3:23).

TEXT REVIEW: 1CORINTHIANS 6:13-20

Apostle Paul stated in verse 13 of the above scripture that, "Now the body is not for fornication". Why did the Apostle make this categorical statement? The answers are:

i. Because the body belongs to the Lord. (1Cor. 6:13).

ii. God will raise the body by His power after death. 1Cor. 6:14).

iii. Those who are joined to harlot will receive the reward of an harlot. (1Cor. 6:16).

ACTIVITY: Teacher should identify from the passage at least five other reasons the body is not for fornication.

People lie a lot just to see their fallacies on the homepage of Nairaland.

A friend of yours has been masturbating since he was 11 years old?

Why isn’t it you?
Why didn’t you help him create a Nairaland account and post this topic himself?

Is it because anything masturbation is pushed to the homepage so you guys now have a field day lying without shame just to have a useless topic on homepage?

Do you know that there are more than 50 topics advising against masturbation on Nairaland and your friend can simply get his answers from any of them?

Nairaland has become nauseating already.

Good Evening Nairalanders

I have a young friend of mine who has been masturbating since he was eleven years old and he is going to be twenty this year. His parents are divorced and he does not live with any of them.

We where talking today and he confided in me that he's been masturbating since he was eleven and that he has been struggling to stop out of guilt but he eventually stopped trying ever since he saw that it was almost impossible so he continued.

But I tried to encourage him to stop because I have been there. I started when I was in the university and struggled till 2018 when I eventually got more control. I realized that while I was still a chronic masturbator that I had almost no drive to succeed in anything which affected me a lot because I kept to my self, had no friends, felt guilty, weak and empty but my friend argued that he won't even bother trying because it was just impossible and doctors say it's healthy to masturbate, I argued that those doctors were lying and that it is not Scripturally okay but he also argued that were in the bible is it written? and I couldn't argue more cause I also relapse at times.

So please, that is why I have come here to ask for the advice on how to encourage him to keep on fighting against addiction and what bible verses can I quote for him?



Op you that claim it is in the scriptures so you didn't do your homework before making the statement..

Re: What Does The Bible Say About Masturbation? by GuestLog: 8:36am On Apr 12, 2020
Since I got married, my masturbating decreased by 99.5%.

Just the young man know that it is sexual immorality. Also, your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.

The scripture quote most commonly associated with masturbation is the tale of Onan in Genesis 38:9–10. Some explain this passage to mean that “spilling your seed” is a sin. Although in the story, Onan withdrew from performing his duty to provide a successor for his late brother.

Another biblical quote sometimes employed as an indication that masturbation is a sin is Matthew 5:27–30. Jesus speaks against having lustful intentions and then says, “If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away.” While there is obviously an association between lustfulness and masturbation, it is doubtful that Jesus was referencing to the particular sin of masturbation in this verse.

Why the world frowns on male masturbation and homosexuality and looks the other way when there is a discourse on female masturbation and lesbianism, I'll never know.
