Nov 28, Because my job is to talk to women about sex, there are few questions I haven't heard and haven't answered. However, there is one common question that I don't like to answer. Is it ok to masturbate?
What Could Possibly Be Wrong with Christian Mastu | Christianity Today
Among the world's religions, views on masturbation vary widely. Some religions view it as a spiritually detrimental practice, some see it as not spiritually detrimental and others take a situational view. Among these latter religions, some view masturbation as allowable if used as a means towards sexual self-control , or as part of healthy self-exploration, but disallow it if it is done with wrong motives or as an addiction. Masturbation was now valued as an adult, non-pathological, pleasurable activity.
The easy answer is that the Bible is silent on this issue, because the word "masturbation" itself doesn't appear. For such a subject, we must be careful of laying down burdensome rules Col , but the Bible says "don't use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature" Gal , so we need to be deeply honest with ourselves what is driving a desire to masturbate. If we consider carefully what the Bible teaches in these areas, most people would have to conclude that masturbation is something that Christians should avoid.

Unless you're a damn good storyteller and he listens & respects your experience & opinion, advise him to wear a condom and not to get married until they've lived in the same house for a few years.
