Masturbation

For those committed to abstaining from sexual intercourse, you may wonder if masturbation is an option.
 
Well, if masturbation is done while viewing pornography or while fantasizing about someone other than your spouse, it outside the will of God.
 
Now outside these parameters, it is debatable whether or not this is a sin.  My experience has been that Christian living helps minimize the appetite for this behavior prior to marriage.
 
Scripture references     
Note:  Each topic of discussion is accompanied by associated scripture references. Every visitor is encouraged to verify the accuracy of the information shared through his/her personal bible-based research and discussion with local ministry leaders, parents, and/or trusted advisors.
        
Matthew 5:28 – But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
 
Galatians 6:7,8 – Don’t be misled – you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature.
But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit.
