Does God punish masturbation?
Does God punish masturbation? Define punishment on your own. Some times what appears to be punishment is reward but we need not go that deep.
Does God punish masturbation. In the after life or during life. Does he ever punish you for it ?

I really don't see why God would, it doesn't harm anyone. But, I think someone once said it was against the bible or something O_O
I don't see why it would be, it's not as though it's a bad thing, or can harm people...

Well, the common argument is that it wastes and kills sperm, there for life.
Lust and the rest , etc etc. |

No one is without sin.
You can't stop being human.
You can be sorry for your human weakness though. That might make Him cut you a break. i sure hope it does or else I'm gonna burn.

Personally I don't believe in god, but here is a saying I once heard "If god didn't intend us to masturbate he would have made our arms shorter"
As for wasting and Killing sperm, no, men cannot waste sperm for it continues to be created for about 50 years you can't "waste" any, unlike a womans eggs.

First of all, God stated the rules, yet it is up to us if we follow them or not. Secondly, the feeling of guilt depend on your conscience. If you are like a "FF Yevonite" like religious person, you'll consider it as bad, if you are atheist, you won't give a damn.
Third, God will not sent you to hell for it, in fact God does not grants eternal punishment on people, that's just a misguiding concept we adopted from other cultures.
Fourth, it is your business, your privacy and your free will. It was given to humans for a reason, because we always have a choice.
Fifth, we are all stained by sin. We can't avoid being sinners, no matter how religious are, we will always end up making a few mistakes. Our mortal flesh is weak, therefore, no one is fully "pure" of all corruption.
For example, in a part of the Bible it says that if you look at a person of the opposite sex and you desire to have something carnal or sexual, or if you just want to have sex with that person (even if it's in your mind), then you are committing a sin. I can't remember the exact quotation though....
Remember, the Bible is a guide, it is your decision if you wish to abide by its rules. Besides, what do people tend to do with most guides?

im pretty sure YHWH would, he seems a pretty vindictive kinda god.
as for a christian god i doubt he would, hell different denominations would have different views, so you need to specify, which 'god' you mean.

well as kev said, its not being wasted, and because you are masturbating it means you cant get laid anyway, which means it wouldnt matter
and pederasty and things like that would probably get you into more trouble with the deity you believe in.

Sperm can't be wasted, it's constantly being produced. I thought they taught that in biology these days <.<;

There ya go 
I don't seem to recall there being anything in the Bible about masturbation being wrong, and as for god disliking it...who the hell cares? It's a natural urge to masturbate. Not only that, it can be useful in dealing with stress, or with finding out what pleases your body the best, which helps prepare for better sex and whatnot.
So yeah, go ahead and masturbate away. It won't turn your palms hairy and god won't punish you for it. As far as I'm concerned, it's not a "sin" in the least. It can be helpful, it brings pleasure and doesn't harm anyone, so there's no issue.

It's a rather stupid notion if you ask me, alot of people would be being punished right now...altho it would explain my run of bad luck recently.....haha
But no, how can it possibly waste sperm, omg that stuff is like in an infinate supply, if it was so precious then millions of the little suckers wouldn't shoot out in the first place for just one to reach it's target
It's just one of those old fashioned thingi | | | |
Does God punish masturbation?
