Question:
So if something gives and I masturbate, is it a sin or not?
Answer:
As I tried to explain in “Is masturbation unacceptable?” and “I’m still confused about masturbation. Is it right or wrong?” that the act itself is neither right nor wrong. For example, waving is an action that is neither right nor wrong, but waving your fist in someone’s face is quite a bit different.
If you are saying that you are playing with your genitals and sometimes ejaculate, that wouldn’t be an issue. It is something that every guy experiences. If you are saying that because you like ejaculating that you look at pornography or imagine having sex outside of marriage to get yourself arouse and masturbate, then that would be an entirely different matter.
