I disagree with the idea it is sometimes a lust thought and that it is not lust at all....the act is always not sometimes treated with the involvement of the mind, and the lust of the mind is biblical in connection to the literal act in Gods judgement, Scripture outlines this for us.The people who want to call Gods gift of sex a prize and not a burden need to use it like a prize that God has given and not a slavery tool of submission to sexual immorality. To try and bring God's light into that tunnel of darkness will be a problem, God simply doesn't agree. These are the reasons God's judgement are upon us. This is what He is liberating us from. Not sex, but perverted sexual immorality. We need to stop wrapping evil in godly paper wraps, it isn't fooling God at all.
I've seen so many sermons & Christians on Youtube saying the answer is basically to get married and make love with your wife/husband but no one wants to talk about all the LUST that seems to be a problem in every marriage I've ever known about.
My pastor told me the simple answer is ... Matthew 16:24
"Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me."
You feeling in the mood? Deny yourself.
Your partner isn't in the mood? Deny yourself.
But than what happens to many who keep denying themselves?
They end up like a volcano that's about to burst eventually..
and most likely end up committing the SIN they tried so hard to not do.
So, I really don't know the answer.

As a man I think it's pretty simple. At least to me it is. I never said easy, but it is simple.
See a pretty woman who's not your wife? No problem - keep things at eye level and if you find yourself thinking about her inappropriately, then stop yourself. The world is full of beautiful women, and their beauty is completely irrelevant. A man should only have one wife, so that's the only woman who's beauty he can truly appreciate.
As for denying each other in a marriage, Paul writes very clearly about that. It is not to be a long term arrangement. It's extremely detrimental to a marriage if either party consistently turns the other down in the bedroom. That's the kind of thing that needs to be talked about before entering a marriage - it's a reasonable expectation that both parties are supposed to be happy with the arrangement. And I say talked about, not practiced.

Banned huh? Lots of peeps in this thread seem to share that status for some reason.
Imo, no it's not. As a healthy male you either masturbate, have sex, or have nocturnal emissions. Unless one is on special drugs, has no scrotum or is on a very restricted diet, (or way way past reproductive age) it is simply a natural part of the human anatomy and biological function.
Edit: Oh, if you feel it's relevant, I do not identify as Christian any longer. My opinion was the same when I did.
