Anonymous asked: I've always wondered this and I wanted to get a biblical stance on this topic. Is masturbating a sin if you don't think of anything or anyone? Since masturbating is usually linked to lust, would it still be considered a sin if you weren't lusting? Because it's just something that gives you pleasure, right? Like how eating something that's really delicious gives you pleasure, but if you eat a lot then it's considered gluttony. But what if you're just masturbating for the pleasure and not lust.

Do watch this video.

3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality;4 that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, 5 not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God;
[1 Thessalonions 4:3-8]

And read this.

But most of all, read the Word.

Matthew 5:26-28, Galatians 5(:16-17), Romans 6:12-14.
