I am 15 and masturbate about three times a week and feel guilty everytime i do it. Is masturbating affecting my relationship with God?
Opinions differ greatly between different religons: you never said which one you followed!
It depends on your religion and your personal belief, really.
Science in itself has proved that regular masturbation is a healthy thing and can actually benefit your health, Its been around since LONG before you or I were ever thought of in this universe. Since before the United states were around even!
Religion, if i remember correctly ( at least christianity and i don't remember if it was the old or new testiment(sp) didn't really have anything against it but that you were unclean until the next day and after you masurbate during a day you should take a shower and clean yourself until the next day when you are clean again.
Anyone feel free to correct me if i'm wrong. I'm not the religious type... i'm trying to keep up with whats what and who's who!

Among the worlds Religions, views on masterbation vary widely. Some religions view it as a spiritually detrimental practice, some see it the other way around. Some see masterbation as allowable if used as a means towards sexual self control or sexual therapy. It is dis allowed if it is done with the wrong motives or as an addiction.
What religion are you?

What we have here is a basic conflict between biology and man's sociology.
That is, the body wants one thing, and man's learned values and cultures sometimes want another.
That's not to say that it's an either or situation.
Man has imposed rules on ourselves for the orderly progress of society.
Religion has at times told us not to do some things, or that they are permitted only in other times or conditions.
We don't pick up a stick and club someone anytime we get angry. Similarly, we control our behavior in matters of sexual expression.
But sex is something we ARE, not just something we DO.
Therefore, if you aren't sexually active, your body will express itself in other ways.
Talk to your religious leader in private if you need advise or direction.

Lets keep this simple... your guilt is not affecting your relationship with God.
Your guilt is that you are not with someone.

ok here.....I actually am the religious type and if you are a catholic christian then the roman catholic church says that masterbation is wrong as well as the bible reasonably implies it, other people view what it says on this topic in a different way but the bible says that it is wrong
