Catholicism is a branch of Christianity.

Some sperm can stay alive and active for some time after it leaves the penis.

Also, it couldn't be considered life...i don't think

I'm a born again Christian and I totally do not see masturbating as a sin. Why would that be a sin? Does not make sense.

And the whole waiting til marriage thing I don't do that for God, I do it for the self respect of myself. I might be a servant of God, but i'm not a MINDLESS servant. Plus God doesnt like the mindless kind, which explains the reason being in a nutshell that He granted us all free will to choose what we want.

But back on topic masturbation is not a sin. End of story.

How the he'll did I miss something thins interesting. I see all you peoe in a different light now not sure if that's a good thing yet but it can't really be worse anyways all I have to say in keeping his on topic is if it where not a sin it would not feel so good all the best things in life are considered a sin and the danger of getting caught is only a bonus and I also believe part of the reason they live longer is because the other just want to end their miserable life already.

Hey, as long as it makes you happy then just beat it! Or whatever the female equivalent is. It's good stress relief at any rate.

I believe it is a sin, but some Christians don't. You get pretty much the same results as sex but with no one on top of you.

Matthew 5:28-29 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell."

Ephesians 5:3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people.

1Th 4:2-8 For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God... For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. Therefore, he who rejects this instruction does not reject man but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit.

It could go either way. You're not establishing a physical connection with anybody else, and there's no chance of babies being born. So I disagree with it being pretty much the same thing.

However, since lust is a sin, self-pleasure is as well.

Actually I agree as well, when i reread my post from a year ago..i was like wow...i feel so differently now..funny how we change but yes you are correct Jade on what you said, same with revy. Self-pleasure is a sin.

I disagree with all three of you, utterly.

The bible is not to be taken literally. It's where most people who are religious fail. If you were reading it in it's original language then fine, you could make an argument, but the bible has been translated and translated, and in most cases mistranslated so often, it's impossible to live through it literally.

Also if you were, then every time you looked at a person and thought "I would totally tap that" then you just committed adultery.

A plethora of Christians disagree with you. They are guided by their "moral" compass and not yours.
