28 Why is it a sin to masturbate or watch porn?

My pastor did this whole big thing on that last Sunday. I was just curious, what is wrong with masturbating? It’s not like you’re actually having sex. And the porn thing I can pretty much understand, but still..

    Lucky I’m Aheist. I was literally watching porn only 15 minutes ago

  4. N. Cognito says:

    I think if there’s a sin anywhere in this, it’s your pastor telling that to everyone.

  5. Agnostic latino says:

    because it deals with "lust" and "lusting" is a "sin".

  6. Ioannis says:

    no the bible isn’t real quit listening to that crap. watch as much porn as you like and wank the tiger.

  7. mr bunnie says:

    lust is a sin

  8. Captain★Rainbow says:

    It’s a sin, but easily forgiven, God doesn’t expect us to be perfect.

  9. Slighly Amused says:

    I will give an honest answer instead of my usual smart a** ones. No it is not a sin to do either. If it makes you feel good then do it.

    Porn is more about guilt. If it makes you feel guilty or dirty then don’t watch it.

    Well… its not…. i dont know why religion tell you to deny your human instincts…

  11. sailormandave says:

    Stop attending a church that says it’s a sin and life will be much more fun or at least less guilt ridden.

    Masturbating is completely natural. I am sure he would rather you do that than have OMG dare I say it, premarital sex. lol

  13. ltone says:

    stop watching dr phil masturbation is normal it relaxes your mind

  14. Vik Adams says:

    for your pastor, why masturbate when there are choir boys around.

  15. Caligula says:

    ‘Sin’ is a word made up by cattle-sacrificing primitives to get people to do what they thought was right.

  16. Alexis says:

    It isn’t. There is nothing wrong with either of them.

    In fact, they go perfect *together*.

  17. ilsr11 says:

    I’m pretty sure there isn’t a commandment that says thou shall not masterbate.

  18. The Difference says:

    Anything that works to promote the twisting and perversion of love is considered sin. Love making is to be saved and shared only with our spouse not with our own hands. Many people masterbate while thinking or watching others. Thats considered a perversion allowing the idea of others in our minds to intrude in our lovemaking. Kindda like saying "is it okay if I think of her while Im making love to you"? This leads to perversions of the heart and eventually the act is at hand of cheating.

  19. Esquire says:

    it is wrong to do it, if are a Christian you should be christ like. do his will until he comes or call for you. it is just nasty

    Since GOD has given no specific instructions on the subject, and has given you free will, then it’s up to you to decide and be prepared to defend your decision when the time comes.

    I’m sure some devout person can give you vague bible verses about fornication, but in all honesty, i wouldn’t worry too much.

    it’s a totally natural thing and your choice entirely if you do or don’t want to do it. And much better than having casual sex and risking STDs and a pregnancy

  22. Seventh Day Adventist says:

    Jesus said…
    “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery. But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. ~ Matthew 5:27-28

    But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. These are the things which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man. ~ Matthew 15:18-20

    There are plenty of other verses as well. We should put to death these things Colossians 3:5-6

    God bless!

    I think it is a sin to ask this question.

  24. dwgriffith101 says:

    The only prohibitions against them is the church trying to control you. It isn’t a sin.

  25. MR. GEORGE M says:

    The only thing wrong with masturbation is your not having sex with another person or persons. Religion is an old old way reflecting on thoughts of old medical ideas and confusion if masturbation helps or hurts the human body and or heightens of lessens the chance of conception when actual sexual male female sexual contact occurs. Medically masturbation is extremely healthy physically and in most cases mentally too.

  26. D T says:

    Ignore your pastor, he’s just trying to control and manipulate you. Do whatever you like and don’t pay attention to such evil nonsense.

  27. derek says:

    it is the most natural thing in the world to masturbate and the reason your pastor is saying its a sin is about control and fear if he has that over you then he has what he wants.religion is about yourself and god not someones interpreting of what it means to be close to god.go and have fun LOL

  28. mr_wiseman says:

    It’s not a sin.
