Yes. Yes it is.

No it’s not a sin. It’s not only ok, it’s good for you. It keeps your stuff in trim, and you sleep better. Though, everything you do too much is not healthy. Don’t break your toys.

I don’t know about you, but I feel open when I write poetry and talk to my SO.

how often is it ok to do it? Once a day once a week or once a month?

If it is a sin I just bought a ticket to hell a few hours ago.

It is ok. It is also a sin. You will likely go to hell, which is also ok.

well, I used to do it once a day, now I MASTERBATE once every few days, it actually helps me not to get ERECTIONS during school. I’ve also (for the sake of science) tested hoe many times I can MASTERBATE during a 12 hour period and got the result of 15. Itsperfectly normal. If you feel
The urge, DO IT.

Since there is no hell how can it be a sin?

It’s a sin whatever you see it as a sin.
If in your mind you are okay with it then it’s all good ^^

Wow—this seven-year-old question just popped up and I was curious….

The idea that masturbation is a sin comes from the idea that the soul is contained in the sperm and thus spilling it is costing a life. Before that, the even more primitive idea, was that all of the unborn child (egg and all) came from the semen and the woman was pretty much just an incubator. The current debate it currently that life begins inside the womb, not in the sex act itself, so no, masturbation is not a sin.

Too much masturbation will desensitize your parts to real sex, however.
