    Is masturbation a sin, according to the Bible? If so, how serious is it?

    6 Judah got a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar. 7 But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the Lord’s sight; so the Lord put him to death.

    8 Then Judah said to Onan, “Sleep with your brother’s wife and fulfill your duty to her as a brother-in-law to raise up offspring for your brother.” 9 But Onan knew that the child would not be his; so whenever he slept with his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from providing offspring for his brother. 10 What he did was wicked in the Lord’s sight; so the Lord put him to death also.

    This isn't about masterbation, but wasting one's seed. Which masterbation does.
    You could be put to death by the Lord.

    Nope, it is a wholly natural act that provides both pleasure and sexual release.

    No need of succubii visiting in the night. althooooooo......

    No.. its not a sin.. The reason God killed Onan was because he wouldn't make a baby with his dead brother's widow..

    I think that's called Leverite marriage .. It was about PROPERTY not morality.

    And if I drink it instead of spilling it on the ground? Do you think that would be okay...?

    How about Jesus? Do you think he had erections or weat dreams during night?

    Well, I will say, from the verse I posted, that wasting it is wasting it. On the ground or in your mouth.
    There is nothing ever written to know what Jesus had in regard to normal human sexual actions.
    Do you have something others don't?

    No, just wondering... I just wanted to know where the Bible stand on this issue.

    It's a crime then.

    The body produces more semen. Nothing is being "wasted".

    When was the last time that happened?

    No, its neither a crime nor a sin.. and God had nothing to do with it.. It was about Jewish property laws.. Women could not inherit.. They had to have a son.

    So, how about masturbating a dog? Is it morally wrong?

    If you don't get rid of it, your body will do it for you via nocturnal emission. But perhaps hot looking religious women could help us out if they feel that strongly about not wasting it. Seems to me its more of a sin to let it go to waste knowing you could have saved it.

    Are you saying that Jesus himself had eyaculations one way or the other if he was a real man, biologically speaking? Is that a scientific fact?

    Depends on how often Jesus masturbated.

    Its only a sin if you tell others you do it.

    The sins which hurt other people are promiscuity.
    Telling others what you do is being promiscuous.

    No.
    Telling or asking others about these things is the crime.

    Jesus did ask Simon why he did not kiss him and anoint his feet, here this girl is pleasing him and he is concerned about this guy not doing the same

    https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke 7:36-50

    'Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You did not give me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. 46 You did not put oil on my head, but she has poured perfume on my feet. 47 Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.” "

    Oh, but that's weird, are you saying that King David was gay, or at least bisexual, and that Jesus himself had some identity mischief? That should be a bigger issue than swallowing sperma...!

    I mean, I know a lot of christians who swallow sperma, even if they don't admit it, but this is wat too crazy. You're making me an atheist with all that stuff. Where am I gonna get my morals from, huh...? Who's gonna tell me what to think? Richard Dawkins...? I don't think so...!!!

    If you are masturbating a dog you as you call it, you are not masturbating. You are having sex with an animal.

    Not strictly true you know.

    Leverite marriage was, in the first place, to produce a son for the family name to continue. He would then inherit, that's true.

    If the brother/s would not marry her then Halitza would take place and the woman would be free to marry again.

    And women could inherit under certain conditions. Look up Zelophehad in Numbers 27. Naomi also inherited a parcel of land from her dead husband which she offered to the family to buy. Ruth 4:3
