Masturbation is hellish and self-destructive to all its victims, so be wary of this self-help, but debasing, desecrating, and immoral practice.

To say masturbation is hellish is not to scare its victims nor an exaggerated description of this immoral and despicable act.

Let me begin by saying that sexuality is an integral part of our existence as humans. That’s how God made it, and we cannot do anything to change it. Regardless of our religious inclinations and biases, sexual feelings are universal and remain intact, just like our breath and heartbeat. These things do not change as long as we are human.

Please understand that Christianity does not frown upon sexuality, nor does it teach people to do so. Our sexual urges are as much a drive as hunger, which we are required to satisfy from time to time. That we have to eat to quell hunger pangs, however, does not mean that we can swallow just anything, like paper or sand. In the same vein, there is more to life than merely satisfying our sexual urges in whatever way we deem fit. Our primary purpose is to satisfy God rather than indulge in sexual escapades in an inappropriate manner.

Joseph understood this quite well, and it enhanced the fulfillment of his destiny while he was in Egypt. Samson, on the other hand, took this for granted and made a shipwreck of his earthly assignment. Amnon, also the firstborn child of the renowned King David, lost control over his sexuality and paid with his life in the end. Similarly, many young people and church folks have found themselves in this kind of quagmire because they lack the understanding of how to control their sexuality. Unfortunately, many have veered off their destiny path for a beggarly life.

One of those unsavoury sexual  behaviours that is making the rounds and setting back many young people today is Masturbation.
To say masturbation is hellish and desecrating means it is a horrible, demonic, despicable and an abominable thing in the sight of God.
Without prejudice to free moral persons and thinkers, anyone who masturbates offends the Supreme Being we call God who superintends creation and everything in it including you.

It is sad to note that this generation, like past ones has tried in their wits to ‘legalise’ the abominable act of masturbation, when God clearly frowns at it. It is clearly an act that desecrates our bodies as the temple of God.

What is Masturbation?

Masturbation is the act of stimulating one’s genitals with one’s hand or an object to derive sexual pleasure. ‘One’s hand or object’ suggests a lot. It basically means personally doing things with one’s body (private parts) that lead to the arousal of sexual pleasure or fulfillment. Additionally, it is a self-help practice of deriving sexual pleasure and reaching orgasm by fondling or arousing one’s genitals (a.k.a. private parts). For women, they use their hands on their clitoris and/or breasts to intentionally achieve this. Some use sex toys on their vagina to carry out this act.

While the guys, more often than not, use pornography and sexually explicit magazines/nude pictures of ladies to peak in this immoral pleasure, all these are unnatural uses of sexual organs that irritate God. He frowns upon them and punishes victims severely. Read Rom. 1:24-28. Masturbation is a first-class vile passion. It is a shortcut to deriving sexual pleasure that has cut short many people’s glorious destinies, sanity, marital fulfillment, and life accomplishments. Warn your children against it and flee from it yourself. Interestingly, all the pleasure and fun that men and women, single and married, seek from this despicable act are all available and abound in marriage as God intended.

But the devil in his usual style to set men against their creator will always want unguided minds to explore this ungodly and destructive act of self-serving pleasure. On the other hand, I am also mindful of the fact that some married people settle for masturbation because their spouses starve them of sexual pleasures for a very long period or due to sudden impotency. This could really torturing. Yet that is not excusable before God. It is like stealing to pay your children school fees for years. Does it make your act of stealing right? Nonetheless, through proper counseling and prayers this can be overcome.

Masturbation also covers the use of sex toys and dolls by men and women to arouse erotic feelings thereby deriving sexual fulfilment from it. Now, all these are outrightly condemnable acts that many have come to embrace in every day life; yet they remain wrong and sinful in the sight of the creator. This is because they go against God’s provision as touching how our genitals are to be engaged.

The interesting thing is all what people do during masturbation like fingering, pennis rubbing, fondling of breast, clitoris stroking and the like are good and fantastic sexual activities; it is just that it is not right for the individual to administer these sexual acts on oneself. That is what is called masturbation—when you stimulate yourself sexually just so you can derive pleasure.

The book of First Corinthians, chapter seven, actually makes it clear that a man’s body belongs to his wife and the wife’s body belongs to her husband. That suggests a right to foreplay and sexual intercourse between a couple. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with those components of foreplay themselves. However, when an individual, especially an unmarried person, indulges in such acts, it goes against the natural use as God intended when He established the first marriage through Adam and Eve.

The complete text is actually Rom. 1:22-32. But I want to pick out verses 24, 26, 27 & 28.

24- “Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, TO  DISHONOUR THEIR BODIES among themselves,
26- “For this reason God gave them up to VILE PASSIONS. For EVEN THEIR WOMEN EXCHANGED THE NATURAL USE for what is AGAINST NATURE.”
27- “Likewise also THE MEN, LEAVING THE NATURAL USE OF THE WOMAN, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.”
28- And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a DEBASED MIND, TO DO THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE NOT FITTING;

According to the above biblical submissions, masturbation and use of sex toys are all manifestations of VILE PASSION (morally condemnable).

With reference to V. 26–we can safely say that the use of sex toys is exchanging the natural use for what is against nature.
For example, the penis as God made it, is the natural use for a woman’s vagina and vice versa. NOT sex toys. That is why a vibrator or a dildo (fabricated penis) can never impregnate a woman, because that was never the thing God made as natural use for vagina. The idea of sex toys is as a result of reprobate/debased/immoral/ungodly thinking.

And the bible says in v. 28, they use it to do things that are not FITTING, but to them they have their own reasons to use ot even when it is not God’s way for mankind.

Looking at verse 26 & 27, you will see that homosexuality, lesbianism and use of sex toys are unnatural according to God’s creation but people now engage in all these as a way of expressing their right and freedom but out of lustful (vile) passion. However, any expression of freedom that makes a man pitch himself against God and His word still makes him live in bondage to satan.
And as the scripture also said- JUDGEMENT awaits them now and in eternity regardless of their reason for indulging in such debased acts. Rom. 1:32; Heb. 13:4.
Any mature person who desires sex and all the foreplays that go with it is advised to get married. This is the natural thing to do. But if you are afraid of the responsibilities and commitment that come with marriage, and the desire for marriage is not a welcome idea, then do this— by all means, avoid sex. God made sex and its pleasures for marriage ONLY.

If you also look at our society, you will observe other unnatural uses that mankind has naturalized. For example, the use of human blood for money rituals is real in our world today, but is that how God intends for us to get rich? Of course, not. While unbelievers may masturbate without thinking twice because they are already under Satan’s control and bondage, when believers indulge in it, they too become subjected to Satan’s bondage.

From the Foregoing masturbation is indeed a hellish (horrible) and desecrating sexual act which is controlled by sexually immoral demons. So it’s high time you stopped it as a child of God who cherishes the peace and the blessings of a loving Father.

Please be informed that there will be a follow up article on this matter of the contaminating nature of the act of masturbation. In the sequel I will talk about the destructive consequences of masturbation.

And I pray for everyone reading this who is still under the hold of the evil power of masturbation- BE FREE in Jesus name.
