if i masturbate will i go to hell?

[Windwalker]

God is sending all the animals to hell too because of their sin of masturbation. Leading the pack will be this immoral dolphin making himself happy with a fish!

Apparently God sends dolphins to hell too, if he sends you. Otherwise, why not? Naughty dolphin! You'd think we evolved from animals or something, when we all know we have nothing in common with animals. We all know we're not natural, like they are!

i am almost 23, i was addicted to porn because i used to exclude actual sex due to the fact that i knew it was bad, even though I've done it a few times. Before i knew masturbation was a sin, i thought nobody's rights were hurt, but then i realized watching porn is actual lust and i gave up. But i still have problems controlling it, and all my friends are in a a serious relationship and it makes it hard for me to accept the fact that they have each other while i have nothing, masturbation was my partner so to speak, but if this is taken away from me, then i really have nothing left.

I'm gay so i'm most definitely will never be married.

You don't need state or church to find a compatible partner and set up a mutually supportive, committed, and exclusive relationship. When you do, sharing gifts of pleasure will be a great way to strengthen and sustain the bond.

You'll probably still masturbate occasionally. God doesn't care.
No you are not in danger of hell.

I haven't been masturbating for some time now, and i fell the urges coming. I tried to use people's advice "get busy" and stuff, but it just comes anyway eventually. I'm gay so i'm most definitely will never be married. So my only option is to "hold it in" for the rest of my life? considering that adultery is a sin and masturbation is a sin, it's really hard to stop the cravings for masturbation. If you think how many people have sex (out of marriage) and masturbate everyday, you'd wonder where is this world coming to. some people believe in just masturbating and asking God for forgiveness, but you can't ask and be forgiven every time you do it, i assume. So what's by best option? i was thinking of castration - but seriously NO. I just don't want to make God any angrier than he probably already is and at the same time satisfy myself.

Sounds like you need a guy, mate.

 

[edwinic]

um...
They masturbate?

Maybe...could it be that the scientific findings are wrong? I mean, was the experiment included priests and nuns?

 

[Gehennaite]

What would be the difference between viewing and imagining?

More neurobiological factors involved in viewing. Visual imprints are less powerful in mere imagination. That is my guess.

 

[The Sum of Awe]

Masturbation isn't a sin....little ones do it naturally...it's like scratching an itch or sneezing. People who say it's a sin have a very low opinion of the deity/ies they believe in. Of course no absolutes, there is healthy ways and unhealthy ways of going about stuff.

I don't disagree with your premise that it's not a sin, but I disagree with the reason why. Natural =/= moral in some cases (most of the time) for people who revere a traditional moral set.

 

[Looncall]

I think that one should be very wary when clergy have declared victimless activities to be sins.

Clergy have a personal interest in keeping their followers in a perpetual state of morbid guilt. That keeps pews and collection plates full.

The harm done has been clearly shown by some of our friends here. The pitiless cruelty of the shamans, imams, priests, pastors etc is beyond all bounds.

 

[McBell]

Could it be that it is not as beneficial as those who read the scientific findings claim the scientific findings say it is?

Could it be that priests and nuns are not only masturbating but have out right sex as well?


Could it be you are implying that priests and nuns are not fallible?

 

[ametist]

Do it that way,
There are people who doesnt know about 'do not masturbate' rule or there are people who know about it and doesnt think of seriously and masturbate although they are married for example. YOu cant get married and you still biologically can have the urge time after time.
Lets say there is really such a rule, When you go to god and this issue becomes the problem, start a long philosophical talk with god about the morality of what to do to them and to you. Because god never directly thought men about morality and still you know about it. it is your weapon and tool against god. My bet is at worst you will have a long talk that will last for an eternity Considering this hell? Well, one way of looking at it

 

[chinu]

We all are already residing in Hell. In fact there isn't any Hell elsewhere.

There's no need to worry going in hell.
In fact, If there's anything to worry, its just escaping from this Hell!

Just note it.

Gee If masturbation condemns one to hell then I sure hope god made it big enough cause almost everyone who was ever born would be there.

I think he's implying that God intervenes and prevents prostate cancer in priests and also gives them superpowerful mental fortitude to overcome biological urges.

...as we see in gay priests and clerical pederasts.

I'd spend a few days looking up unreal god is on the internet, and then consider the notion that there is no one there watching your sex life, and that you will be the definer of what is morally acceptable for yourself. It makes no sense to view what was randomly endowed upon you as something ontological preferable.

But, ya, you will be fine to masturbate.

 

[Smart_Guy]

I believe no, masturbation does not condemn you to hell!

Do you watch sexual material while doing it? If so, what orientation is it, straight or gay? And if both, in what weight (approx. percentage)?

Please forgive me if my question sounded unacceptable, and tell me so I can delete it. I'm asking because I'm trying to help!

 

[MatthewKeegan]

yes i do watch material when i do it, it's usually gay pron, wow i can't believe how bad it sounds, i feel like i sinned just saying it. But for quite some time i have been able to control it and i feel empowered with the positive comments from you guys. I guess i just need someone to talk to, i came to the conclusion that talking about it actually helps

 

[Smart_Guy]

Hmm...

I understand that (1) you do watch straight porn sometimes too (because you said "usually" above), and (2) you feel bad somewhere along the way of the process!

If my conclusions were right, then (1) you can get married to a woman, which is easier for not having restrictions and difficulties like gay marriage, to fulfill your instinct because you still have interest in straight porn, and (2) feeling bad could help you to slow down a little because it is in human nature to slow down when feeling guilty, and with luck, stop almost completely!

The above are suggestions to reduce masturbation as you seemed, according to my humble understanding, to want to do that!

And, if there is anything you wanna talk about, please feel free to do that here on RF. You're one of us RF'ers now and here I believe we, or at least many of us, care for each other

 

[MatthewKeegan]

but is masturbation wrong as people and the bible say? i know the bible doesn't say much about masturbation, but people believe it is a sin, and because masturbation can't really be done without having to look at something lustful, it is a sin of the heart and to God's eyes. I am really proud of my progress of not masturbating for so long, but one day i will "explode"

It's not a sin. No verse in the Bible claims it.

Knock yourself oout.

He's gay. He's not interested in marrying a woman.
