From my personal experience, I have learned that masturbation creates more problems than it ever claims to solve. According to biblical teaching, our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), and indulging in this act does not honor that sacred temple. Instead, it feeds selfish desire and pulls the heart away from purity and obedience to God. Within marriage, it fails to honor the covenant relationship, because intimacy is meant to be shared with your spouse, not taken in isolation. Ultimately, masturbation is a sinful act because it is rooted in lust and self-gratification, not in God’s design for holiness. Choosing to resist it is not about legalism, but about walking in obedience to the Father and seeking to glorify Him with both body and spirit.
