masturbation
I Cor 4:6 (Wey) .. in order to teach you by our example what those words mean, which
say, "Nothing beyond what is written!"...
The Scripture is strangely silent about this universal issue, while not shy about all sorts of other
sexual situations and perversions... in great detail concerning sex with animals, etc. Yet the
Bible says nothing about masturbation. This is odd, don't you think?
Some, mistakenly, cite Onan in Gen 38:9 as suggesting that masturbation is a sin. In fact,
"onanism" has become a synonym for masturbation. But this is obviously an error, and a rather
daft one at that. We know what Onan did, for it is spelled out for us in lurid detail; and we
know why it was a sin: he was maliciously using and cheating Tamar in way that was wrong. In
any case, what Onan was doing was certainly not masturbating, and you have to be pretty
dimwitted to miss this.
In fact, there is no place in scripture where masturbation is even mentioned, much less
forbidden. This is a very odd situation since it is so common a human experience, and given
that scripture speaks of other sexual sins (some fairly perverse and rare) without any shyness at
all.
Since scripture does not forbid masturbation directly, neither should Christians
