My View On Masturbation

Throughout my whole life, I've heard that masturbation is a sin. I strongly disagree with this.

I am a teenager and my feelings cannot be ignored. Without masturbation, I wouldn't be able to focus in class, my judging abilities would be impaired and I'd be frustrated to no end.

I believe watching pornography is a sin as it both degrades men and women but masturbation just for the reason of relief isn't.

I know many of you will say to just ignore my sexual thoughts and think about other things. Well, I play guitar and I'm involved in sports. Along with that, I'm also an honor role student. I keep myself busy. The feelings still come and don't go away. I've even tried fasting. Nothing will calm down my raging hormones.

I want to only have sex with one woman in my life. My wife. Without masturbation, I would've surely taken one of the opportunities that has presented itself to me. As I said early on, my sexual feelings impair my judgement.

Also, I could care less what the Catholic Church has to say about it. I was raised Catholic and turned Non-denominational Christian. The Catholic Church sickens me. I really couldn't give a s*** what they have to say. I'd rather not get into that now though.

Masturbation to me is a way of relief. Can anyone here who has gone through puberty honestly say they haven't done something sexual just for pleasure or relief and not for pro-creation? I thought so.

God created us as sexual beings. I feel no shame.

Good Post. Unfortunately ultra conservative Christians would disagree. The good thing is you can make your own determinations on what is acceptable

Wait till you get older:) It gets easier to talk about these things. Do you think all you will ever talk about is sex and women? Sure it is a topic it comes up about as often as health issues and work.

Hell masturbation is a topic people in their 30s and 40s talk about on a regular basis.

Having sex with one woman is overrated when you're young sir. Jerk and poke until you're ready for the ball and chain

I personally think sex is much more meaningful when it is only shared with one person. Hopefully, I'll meet the right girl that isn't a ball and chain. :)

Thanks. I sure hope it gets easier :)

Good for you. No reason whatsoever that masturbation should be a sin. And far better to masturbate than to be recklessly promiscuous, as so many young people are.

And not just young people. Masturbation is a natural and healthy part of sexual expression, for young and old alike. Even happily married people do it...to which I can testify.

Frankly, I'm not even convinced that all forms of porn are sinful or degrading.

So do your thing. Just be careful of tennis elbow.

Masturbation is completely natural and healthy. If you feel a natural urge, chances are it is good to satisfy it. Thats the way our body works. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Make up your own mind regarding what you feel. don't let authority dictate your personal life.

I'm still waiting for someone to disagree. It would be great to see another point of view.
Ok if you wish.


I think you should be having sex with as many different people as possible, boys and girls. Masturbation is a selfish act. You should be sharing what you have. Why do you think you have such an active libido if you aren’t meant to share?
