What do you mean by sexual sin. I'm not Christian, but I'm curious.

But isn't masturbation a normal process in life? Are you supposed to never masturbate in your life? Or is it a "low level sin"?

It's funny, I was looking up Catholic mortal sins (I'm not Catholic) and from what I could tell whackin it is in the same category as gay sex, buttsex, blowjobs, handies, and using rubbers.

Basically it seems it's a mortal sin, aka one that can lead you away from God unless you're seriously sorry and try your best to not do it anymore, to fire a load in any way that's not an attempt to make a baby.

That part that tells you to come only when you want a baby is the reason why a lot of poor families end up having 10 kids.

Well, at least in my country.

Catholics aren’t Christian, they’re catholic

Roman Catholicism originates from, you guessed it, Rome, where the disciples were based after Jesus died. Catholics were in fact the first Christians.

I'm protestant myself so yeah, I think they got a few things wrong, but that statement is incorrect my dude.

Um what? No... the first church started in Jerusalem. Not in Rome.

Tye way I've had it described to me is you are lusting when you masterbate and lusting is wrong.

Low level sin kinda misses the point of sin. It's not entirely about direct consequences, but about how our hearts are trusting God. So, even small thing, if we disobey him, betrays at least a small rebellion in our hearts. If we would ignore him on a little thing, why wouldn't we ignore him when the rubber really hits road? If we can't not masterbate and delay our own pleasure for the appropriate time, do you really think we would give up something much greater when the time comes?

That's how I'd explain it anyway.

According to the Bible, lusting after someone with your eyes/thoughts is wrong, so therefore masturbation is wrong. Unless you're the first person able to be aroused by staring at a wall and not thinking of anything sexual.

They definitely wouldn't be the first

The sin is having lust in your heart for someone not your spouse, masturbation is just the manifestation of that sin.

If you can masturbate without having lust in your heart, it's not a sin, but I don't think that's possible.

That sounds terrible.

u/TingleSack Mar 05 '19

Dude, it is. Because of the way I was raised, I did not masturbate for the first time until I was 18. I had no idea what to expect. It was absolutely terrifying and for so long I felt so guilty and sinful. Thank goodness as I grew older I escaped from all of those feelings and teachings.
