Ok so I am a Christian, and in the Bible it says not to lust.

The definition of lust is to want something or somebody really REALLY bad. So is watching porn really that terrible? I am really just looking at pictures and movies in order to masturbate. I never WANT the girls that im looking at, they are just really hot. Plus the Bible never really says anything for or against masturbation.

Masturbation in of itself is not wrong, but lust is, I am of the opinion that if you didn’t on some level “want” what your looking at, it wouldn’t get the job done. I’ve always been told if you could masturbate to a fridge, it’d be okay, but no guy can. Best advice: Think in generics of your future wife if you must masturbate.

Seriously, you don’t want to go down that path. Ever heard of Mike Guglielmucci? Porn messed up his life. DON’T GO THERE! I’ll be praying for you and i suggest you do too.

Masturbation is fine and healthy to do. It helps to satisfy your need for sex. The bible doesn’t say anything about it, as far as I know. So just do that instead of having sex. It is always better to use your hand instead of sex before marriage.

Actually there are people who can masturbate to random objects, such as a fridge. Wikipedia it. =P.

P.S. Kid stop looking at porn, it seriously does nothing good for your life. Neither does masturbation. Trust me.
