Question: im scared if i do it ill go to hell


Answers: im scared if i do it ill go to hell

i am a catholic and the bottom line is that the catholic church, and most churches, believe that masturbation is considered to be "unnatural". (i had to listen to an all day seminar on the theology of the body, so i know their side)..The catholic church is all for promoting sex, but in marriage. The church also promotes the fact sex between a husband a wife should be for plessure and with the option of creating a life.
I know it doesnt sound realistic..believe me it doesnt but the bottom line is that you should only have sex when you want to have child....... lets get real this doesnt happen..
the church considers masturbation wrong because it leaves out the option of procreation.
they also consider birth control wrong and even having a vesectamoy or a women having their tubes tied...because it leaves out the option for procreation. the same goes for homosexuals...the fact that procreation cant take place IS the factor. the church looks at it as unnatural and the parts dont fit, but just because you're gay doesnt mean you're going to burn in hell..like most people make the chuch out to say...
the church is all about doing things with the option of procreation..that is the bottom line.
So in some ways it is looked at as sin..and i also found out that it is also looked at as an addiction and some people just cannot subconsiousley help themselves just like drinking or smoking..
and their thought is that these "addicts" need help.
bottom line is is technically a "sin" but that doesnt't mean you'll go to hell...the catholic church teaches that no one actually goes to hell....for example..we don't even believe that Hitler is in hell (this is arguable) becaue he was not a sane person..he was so sick and twisted...but that doesnt mean he is in hell. ( catholics really believe this)

my personal beliefs...masturbation is a normal thing..its a healthy habit..and its a way to obstain from having sex before marriage...it does not hurt anyone, and you are not bothering anyone. although i am catholic i have to say that i can't even follow those stern teachings, i masturbate frequently and i do not think of it as a sin..not at all...
so do not think you'll go to hell because you wont.
you shouldnt be scared for any reason
did you know that 92% of males masturbate?
while 58% of females masturbate...
remember masturbation is apart of exploring your sexuality and growing up

Honey, its your body. Touching your own body is not a sin. It has been proven that we touch ourselves out of pleasure, starting as babies! Yes that early! NO, you are not sinning. Do it when you want, in your own privacy. A LOT of people do it!!

well depend... if we dont masturbation then we will have blue ball.. so what the different? God dont blame on sinner but blame on sin.. all you have to do is to ask God to forgive you then you'll be fine

nah it isn't a sin. if it were true, then we'd all be going to hell. i don't think god would really make us burn in hell for self pleasuring. go for it. have fun, cuz i know i will!

NO!!!!!! you wont go to hell! i HATE people that tell their kids they will go to hell if they experiment with their bodies! BUT if you feel uncomfortable then you dont HAVE to do it. but dont be afraid God will smight you if you do. HE WONT trust me. i was the same way when i first started and eventually i just accepted that 99.9% of guys do it and feel the same way you and me both feel about it. hope i could help!

That is what religious zealots what you to believe to be able to control you. Masturbation is fabulous and healthy for you. By masturbating you will not go to Hell

Masterbation is healthy natural and normal

It's not a sin to touch your own body

YOU ARE GONNA BURN

Hell no! Don't let bilbe thumpers scare you! There are a few verses tha can be inturpeted different ways, but are wrong. Why would god CREATE a oart of your body that requires a release for you to not feel pain (blue balls), and make it feel good when you are doing it? It is good to have about ~200 orgasms per year, this can SIGNIFICANTLY lower your risk of prostate cancer. DO IT!

i suppose if you are religious then it depends on what religion you are. i know that catholics believe it is a sin, but i am not sure about other religions. since you believe in hell im guessing you have faith.. right?

I dont think it is a sin.One way or another you will have a release whether it is a natural release or you give a hand.

You need to talk to your priest about this. Snappin' the slim jim is considered evil by most holy people.

According to the Bible and every sermon I've had to sit through it is. But it depends what you choose to believe in. According to the Bible if you lie, cheat, steal, murder, have idols, etc you will go to hell. Homosexuality and pre-marital sex is also a sin. That's one of the reasons I left the church. I'm not gay but I've got many gay friends.
Religion aside it is a very healthy and normal thing to do.

There are articles on this matter.
This is a natural process. Check out the articles. Trust this will help you and allay your concerns

i guess it depends on your religion... but just about anything now a days is a days is a sin... just beat yout meat happily and proudly.. 98 percent of guys do it...or have done it at least 1nce... go for it you wont go to hell,

A lot of churches will say that it is. However, masturbation is not once mentioned in the bible at all (either by word or description). That tells me that it's not a sin. People that lie to you and tell you that it is are the ones that are sinning. Everyone masturbates!

Yes! Masturbation is a sin! As to whether one goes to hell is between God and that person!
