MASTURBATION

MASTURBATION

Without a doubt, masturbation certainly must be the most difficult subject for Christians to discuss in an open forum such as this. It is a subject that brings us down to our primordial core, down to the very roots of our animistic desires, to the truth about our sexualities that even the most seasoned theologians would prefer to avoid. It is from the interpretation and impressions of prophets and scholars expressed outside the Decalogue that, we know anything about how masturbation is perceived by God, not from people reading scripture. Although, the average man doesn’t read the Bible, but even if he did, being absorbed in this culturally complacent society, he would find a way to satisfy himself in spite of what God said.

So how is one to judge how God perceives, what is generally considered a dirty, disgusting habit by only the lowly of the lowly, yet behind the scenes, any psychologist would support the claim that the greater majority of men do in fact masturbate, and probably fifty percent of women. I guess the question is, what percentage of them are Christians? We all know the answer to that. Our sexual desires go deeper into the core of the human than the Word of God, which is part of the problem with our unleashed sexual energy, and that may be the catalyst that hits the nail on the head.

The Bible addresses adultery and womanizing and general debauchery fueled by alcohol, which is definitely a sin, but nowhere does it really address masturbation. So why did God infuse this insatiable sexual appetite into humans? Many prophets through the ages have sworn to celibacy, in order to develop a closer union with God. In the Old and New Testaments High Priests and prophets didn’t marry, because they believed it would interfere with their communion with God.

Catholic Priests today do not marry for this same reason. Although it is easy to understand how promiscuous behavior leads to adultery, and how adultery leads to divorce, and how drunkenness leads to womanizing, but what harm is there for someone to masturbate in the privacy of their own home? Did God give us our sexual desires solely to suppress? Did He really mean for us to wait to enjoy sexual union with our spouses only when we wanted to have children? And what about the sexual drive imbalance between the sexes?

Men are notoriously more sexually active than the greater majority of women, (there are always exceptions to this) so what is a husband to do during that special time of month, or after childbirth, and during the long lulls between a woman’s wanton desires? Is this the time when God would prefer for men to seek Him out? Is this a time when every man could develop a closer relationship with Jesus? Does masturbation distract from being in the presence of God?

I used to think that it was my wife’s responsibility to manage my sexual desires. The closer I grew to God the more I realized how false this notion really was. This is why marriage brings the best out of every man, and woman, because what God wants us to do during those times when she is not in the mood is to love her just as she is, with or without sexual love making. Love your woman like Christ loves you and your marriage will flourish and blossom and bear much fruit.

So it’s not so much what the Bible says, or doesn’t say about masturbation, but it is what you perceive God to be in your life. Is it a sin to masturbate? I think to answer that accurately, one would have to know what dwells in the mind of the masturbate during masturbation. If the act keeps the man from acting the fool, or committing date rape with the wife when she is in a sexual lull, or in the case of a woman whereby she’d rather stimulate herself then to express her feelings, or if masturbation were to become an obsessive-compulsive uncontrollable behavior to the degree of being self abusive then, I would have to emphatically say yes, it is a sin. But if used prudently in dire times of need, I would tend to believe that God is all forgiving and in this case would be no different. After all, it was God who injected these lustful cravings into our being, and if treated with respect and not abused they truly are a gift from heaven.

Ultimately, God would prefer that your mind, heart and soul were dwelling on him than on matters of the flesh, and so in that, I would say is a worthwhile answer and a worthy goal.
