MASTURBATION
Masturbation
is an act of stimulating oneself sexually especially with the use of one’s
hands, it can sometimes be done with a partner.
It also means
to stimulate someone else sexually without penetration of the male organ.
It can also be
defined as the manual erotic stimulation of the genitals or other erotic region
of the body to orgasm, either by oneself or a partner.
A question was
asked some time ago by someone she said:
“I
help my boyfriend to release sperm from his penis because we have agreed that
we won’t have sex before marriage. Is it a sin?
From the
second definition above … stimulate someone else sexually without
penetration of the male organ. This form of sexual activity is referred to as
outercourse as stated by Pastor Mrs. Shade Olukoya. And every form of
outercourse is masturbation. Now to the
sinful nature of masturbation:
Most preachers
and teachers of the bible have argued decisively that masturbation is not a sin
and that it is not stated in the bible as the sin of fornication is clearly
stated several times, but the bible makes reference to it in Leviticus 15:16-17
“And if any man’s seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall wash all
his flesh in water and be unclean until the even. And every garment, and every
skin, whereon is the seed of copulation, shall he washed with water and be
unclean until the even.
According to
the above scripture, if a man’s seed of copulation (semen) goes out of
him, it will make him unclean and every flesh and cloth that comes in contact
with it also shall be unclean. Just as fornication and adultery, makes one
unclean, masturbation likewise does the same and every form of uncleanliness is
a sin.
