Mutual masturbation between married couples is common and is some cases is the only way a married couple can be intimate due to physical issues with the man or woman.
What a married couple does is their own business. My wife and I counseled a young married Christian couple on the very scenario you brought up. They both traveled a lot for work.
Their answer might not be another couples answer. They skyped and that is all I will say and what they described doing on skype was not SIN.

Were you hoping to provide a way out for Marcelo in making what he does okay by Skyping with his wife? Is that your way of saying it was not okay when it was not "mutual"?
Let's see how you come across to single masturbaters.
First... you are telling them that married people cannot stop when they are by themselves apart from their spouse even though they have each other for sex when they get home.
Second... How does one keep the bed undefiled?
Hebrews 13:[SUP]4 [/SUP]Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
Leviticus 15:[SUP]16 [/SUP]And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even.[SUP] 17 [/SUP]And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even.
That may be debatable to some, but I am putting that out there in regards to what I assumed was your typoed reference earlier as "undefined".
Let's examine scripture more on this matter.
1 Corinthians 7:[SUP]8 [/SUP]I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they abide even as I.[SUP] 9 [/SUP]But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
So if it is better for single people to marry than to burn, then married couples can wait till they get home.
Impossible? Is that the message you are going to give to single people? Not likely. So you do have a double standard, and you are denying the couple their source of strength to go to in their times of need just as single people are to do.
As it is, you cannot apply that reference below as part of your ministry nor your testimony in representing Him.
Ephesians 5:[SUP]2 [/SUP]And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.[SUP] 3 [/SUP]But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
This should have been your service to Him as their counselor below.
Jude 1:[SUP]18 [/SUP]How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.[SUP]19 [/SUP]These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.[SUP] 20 [/SUP]But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,[SUP]21 [/SUP]Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.[SUP] 22 [/SUP]And of some have compassion, making a difference:[SUP] 23 [/SUP]And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
So you need to go before that throne of grace for help in doing what is right in according to His word as all believers are to be turning to Him for help in following Him, bringing every thought into captivity and thinking on good things.
2 Corinthians 10:[SUP]4 [/SUP](For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds[SUP] 5 [/SUP]Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;[SUP] 6 [/SUP]And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
Philippians 4:[SUP]12 [/SUP]I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.[SUP] 13 [/SUP]I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Philippians 4:[SUP]6 [/SUP]Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.[SUP] 7 [/SUP]And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.[SUP] 8 [/SUP]Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.[SUP] 9 [/SUP]Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
