Is masturbation violating abstinence?

I was just curious on others take on this question. If you masturbate are you still being abstinent? The bible speaks of lust and that even lusting in your heart is wrong. It does not explicitly forbid masturbation. So if you indulge in masturbation w/o lust is this wrong? I'm not here to debate or question of the religious grounds here, so much as to see if anyone here thinks mastubation is NOT being abstinent. Then again maybe women don't have these urges. Was always told women aren't really into sex. For me sex is about going to a deeper level of intimacy after emotional intamacy has been achieved. Ah heres one for ya. Anyone have thier Dad say "You wouldn't buy a pair of shoes w/o trying them on first now would you" as if the two can be compared. The beautiful gracious act of giving yourself completely to your spouse. Or for the ladies your mom ever say "Why buy the cow if you can get the milk for free?" Its never that simple is it? I'm just a gentleman and nice guy who respects women. Whats so wrong with that? I look forward to your replies. -Bob
PS: One advantage you ladies have your peers commend you for ceibacy. With guys they look on you as being either gay, or somehow less than a man.It's shameful for guys somehow by thier standards. -Bob Posted on 03/21/07, 10:03 am |

I do not believe mastubation is violating abstinence. As a female, we do get urges and to keep from thinking about sex, I masturbate so the urge will go away. But some will disagree.

you need to releive the urge or it will get to you. Then you start wenting it more and might do something you reget later. If you done mastubate.

I think the Bible is against masturbation...it actually says to flee from any type of sexual impurity. I mean if you really think about it why would God ask you to hold of on sex with someone else, but let "sex" with yourself slide?

The only reason masturbation according to Bibical scripture would be wrong is because of lust of the flesh created...but if you can masturbate without a single thought of lust or sexual impurity in your mind, nothing zilch, then I don't see what's wrong with it.
On the other hand, I would rather not because if I learn to satisfy myself sexually, then it defeats the whole purpose of trying to remain pure/a virgin until marriage because I want my husband to be able to please me and not me, myself...Does that makes sense? I would rather I know nothing of how great sex feels and on the night of my honeymoon, wait for the fireworks to go off. LoL

A very interesting point raised. It's my understanding that the Bible does not specifically mention masturbation but I know that the Catholic Church speaks against it, probably because of the lust factor. But I don't think it's violating anything. I see it as a good way to get to know your "sexual self" before your wedding night. Certainly a better option than losing your virginity out of curiosity and regretting it later.

Yes but knowing yourself sexually should be done with your husband. He should be the one to be able to help you discover what turns you on and what doesn't because if you do it yourself, you might not need him and won't be completely satified if he doesn't do it right.
It's similar to those who sleep around before marriage, coz when they do get married, the one person won't be enough because they've probably had better before & know what's out there but if you waited and no nothing other than his/her touch, then that's all you'll ever need to keep your happy in bed.

Yes, women do have sexual urges and are into sex. I don't think it is fair to gender stereotype. I do think this topic is a personal choice. I think abstaining from masterbation is just a different level of abstinance to attain.

Yes, women are also into masterbation. Again, gender stereotyping is not true. It depends on the individual not their gender.
