It matters where the act is finished (this is my person theological position, as there are two sides to the argument), if it is finished in the vag, then everything is good (as long as it is not outside the marriage). However, if you finish in her mouth, then no it is not okay.[/quote]
With this logic, masturbation is a sin, no?[/quote]
Yes.[/quote]
Where does scripture say masturbation is a sin? In fact masturbation is “technically” only mentioned in one passage: Genesis 38:6-9
And this verse refers to Onan spilling his seed outside of Tamar’s body in order not to impregnate his brother’s widowed wife.
The body has the capability to regenerate sperm.
Do you think God expects man to completely hold in ALL sexual desires until marriage?[/quote]
If by ‘hold in ALL sexual desires until marriage’ you mean not act on those sexual desires? Yes.[/quote]
I disagree.
Show scripture that implies this.
The fact is you won’t find any. And I won’t find any to support my case either. Because the Bible is pretty silent on this matter. So I think we too should be. Masturbation is only a sin when it consumes you and you live your life for it. But the occasional “self-relief” is perfectly fine and prevents a build up of desire.
