To answer this, let us look, first of all, at the churchs teaching. In 1975, the congregation for the doctrine of the faith issued a declaration on certain problems of sexual ethics, and it is this document that the catechism of the catholic church quotes regarding this issue. Both the magisterium of the church, in the course of a constant tradition, and the moral sense of the faithful have. As the catechsim of the catholic church makes clear, masturbation may not be a mortal sin if the extenuating circumstances identified in the catechism are found, by a competent moral guide, who has a well-formed conscience, to be present in the life of one who has masturbated. A widespread and pernicious though often overlooked evil affecting modern life is pornography. The catechism of the catholic church (2354) states that pornography consists in removing real or simulated sexual acts from the intimacy of the partners, in order to display them deliberately to third parties. Catholic bible 101 - overcoming pornography - catholicbible101 is the website that explains catholic teachings in plain, easy to understand english. Masturbation is the sexual stimulation of ones own genitals for sexual arousal or other sexual pleasure, usually to the point of orgasm. The stimulation may involve hands, fingers, everyday objects, sex toys such as vibrators, or combinations of these. Mutual masturbation is masturbation with a sexual partner, and may include manual stimulation of a partners genitals (fingering or a handjob.). the church also had very specific requirements for what type of sex married couples could have. Since all sex was supposed to be for the purposes of procreation, certain positions were banned (no sex standing up, the woman shouldnt be on top, no doggy style, oral, anal, or masturbation). Fornication is generally consensual sexual intercourse between two people not married to each other. When one of the partners having consensual sexual intercourse is a married person, it is described as adultery. For many people, the term carries an overtone of moral or religious disapproval, but the significance of sexual acts to which the term is applied varies between religions, societies. Masturbation definition is - erotic stimulation especially of ones own genital organs commonly resulting in orgasm and achieved by manual or other bodily contact exclusive of sexual intercourse, by instrumental manipulation, occasionally by sexual fantasies, or by various combinations of these agencies. this is from the traditional catholicism forum under the heading no mortal sin? The moderator commented that we are getting off topic, so i am posting a reply to one of the comments here. I am well aware the church teaches that nobody but god determines who goes to heaven and who does not.
