Masturbation is an action that many people argue over. Nowhere in the bible does it contradict masturbation, but it comes close on several occasions.For an answer to this question I would look deeper into your conscience. The Lord put it there to help you choose right from wrong. If you look into it you might think that the wrong feeling is just your mind and satan playing tricks on you. I once had this problem, and I took a day aside and meditated on the Lord Jesus, I read the bible, and prayed. In return the Lord spoke to me and said that masturbation was wrong. I prayed to him to rid me of my sin, and forgive me for my actions.

This is a great test of fate for you. Trust in the Lord, serve him faithfully, and he can also speak to you, if you accept him.

so called medical experts will lie to you telling you to do something causing you to come back to them over and over meaning big bucks for them. If masterbation releases sexual enery then why would that person end up doing it several times a day. I have a friend who admits he masterbates 10+ times a day for the past 12years but now... well lets just say he has a lot of problems you may not want to hear about. But if your gonna do it try to keep it to a limit

When you masturbate, you fantazise about sex. Sex with women or same sex fantasies. You either have to think it, watch it, or read it. All ways are wrong. It falls into the lust category, and to lust is to sin. Also remember, God knows all and sees all, so next time you decide to spend some time alone and think no one is watching, know this...God is certainly watching you and seeing everything you do.

i've looked into this and just can't find anything in the bible that says its wrong but still not sure. But along with it come lust. If you feel guilt the holy spiritmay be telling you to stop

Masturbation is medically good for your health.
Basically if you don´t use it you´´ll lose it.
Any doctor will tell you that.

I don´t know about the rest.

Probably your parents told you it was wrong and you feel guilty.

If you feel bad about it then probably it´s wrong for you.

While GD statement may be true it gets tricky when we use the secular viewpoints to discern, Paul speaks about this in Colossians 2 8.

I know for a fact that the bible does say that masturbation is wrong because it encourages lustful thinking and images. The bible also says that just thinking about women and/or men in this way is wrong.....
