Question

What are the religious beliefs and teachings related to masturbation in the Mormon faith?

Answer 1

lol, I'll ask them next time they come knocking at the door, that will ensure I never get bothered by them again. Thanks :)

Answer 2

Because they have to keep you from jerking off.

Answer 3

Actually, this is not permitted for ANY committed Christian. As a committed Christian, don't you have anything better to do with your time and energy? . . I think that the prohibition is based on the concept that masturbation is considered as having sex with yourself!!! It's bad enough to have sex with someone else outside marriage; homosexual relations are worse. The Bible also condem masturbation, where it is called "self abuse".

Answer 4

Any man made belief that contends that God lives on the planet Kolob, that Jesus is the brother of Satan, and that Christ came to Central America after he died on the cross can make any rules it wants I guess. People will believe just about anything.

Answer 5

Essentially, to ensure the supply of new Mormons.

Answer 6

So they won't have pimples like you.

Answer 7

Nope! No jacking off. They can’t have any beverages that are hot like coffee or tea and absolutely nothing with caffeine in it. Next time a Mormon shows up at your door, ask him about planet Co-lob and see what happens. The planet Co-lob is where Jesus Christ is from or that’s what they thing anyway.. . Actually, Miren right below me is completely full of S**T. Masturbating causes no hurt to your body what so ever. In fact semen if left in the body will become cancerous so you body needs to get it out. That’s why if you don’t “hit it” often you start getting nocturnal emissions. Your body will get rid of the stuff one way or another.

Answer 8

come on... you know they do it anyway

Answer 9

The Mormons and the Catholics both.. Interestingly, there was some evidence a while ago to say that the aforementioned act could help prevent prostrate cancer, which poses an interesting theological question.

Answer 10

Because of the health hazards that are caused by masturbation (which truly means self-abuse). The health hazards are proved to be true. However, if you were to know about the health hazards then one of the main industries in first-world countries, which is pornography, would have to go down the drain.
