Masturbation is a complicated issue that doesnt lend to a clear black and white answer. I want to be realistic about the struggle without giving freedom that god perhaps hasnt given. At a purely biological level, masturbation isnt that much different than other things we do with our bodieslike picking our noses. Regarding masturbation and christian singles, the vast majority of single christians feel that compulsive masturbation, simply for the purpose of self gratification, is always wrong. Most would also agree that habitual masturbation while single will make it harder for any future spouse to please them sexually. Masturbation seems to fall short of this design, and in the act and the residual guilt, it does the opposite. Masturbation skews our view of sex into being about our pleasure and a quick fix rather than the focus being on giving and intimacy in a committed marriage relationship.

Either way, here are five practical pointers that will help christians overcome the sin of masturbation. Masturbation is complicated and controversial because the bible never mentions it. Thats why christians have different viewpoints on its spiritual and moral significance. And thats also why we have to be careful about laying down hard and fast rules. Still, there are helpful guidelines in gods word about the overall purpose of sex. Before we go any further, i think its essential to address masturbation as a sin. As ive shared my struggle with it, ive had people ask if its a sin or share that they dont think it is. with few willing to open up about their struggles, i said id share if god set me free so others can step into freedom too.
