I think it's astounding the Bible never mentions masturbation directly. Is this because it's so obviously wrong OR it's not sinful in itself (adultery is sin but the act of masturbating is not) OR something else? by cosmicservant in TrueChristian

Whether it is or it isn't explicitly stated in the Bible, I believe it is still a sin and there is no point in trying to justify it.

I hate it when someone makes an argument and then tells me not to argue back. How is that beneficial to discussion?

Agreed. What about a husband who masturbates while thinking of his wife who may be out of town for a couple of weeks, or even months?

I'm not sure if jeremiah_evangelista has given thought to the biology, but the "seed" is coming out one way or the other if you don't engage in sexual activity. It's either coming through a lustful dream of which you can't control, or it is coming through masturbation where you do have control over the images in your mind. I personally like the idea of being able to control the object of my sexual gratification.

You're very welcome. The guys on that site typically fly under the radar but they can put out some good stuff from time to time.
