Me I posted it because its news of a sort. Some may agree, some may disagree but all in all it makes one ponder and when something makes one ponder why not share it? We are all human beings with emotions and feelings that feel differently about everything. Its not wrong or its not right it just is. So why not share?

One cannot avoid such topic for it's a reality that we all must face. The important thing is how you deal with it.
That question had plagued my mind too. So i searched the Lord for an answer and he gave me this verses:
"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God" -1 COR. 10:3
If you cannot give God glory for something then you should not do it.
"Everything that does not come from faith is sin" - Romans 14:23
Thus, if a person is not fully convinced that an activity is pleasing to God then it is a sin.
I hope that explains something.

kapayapaan's post sums it up, but also wanna add this.
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.
-Leviticus 15:16
Seed of copulation is sperm by the way. Unclean, in constant meaning, means not fit to be in the presence of God. You gotta be clean. So what does that say on masturbation?

To those who still practice the Levitical law, quite a bit, I'd imagine. I don't know any Christian, however, who actually lives by the purity laws of Leviticus 11-15.
As an example, according to the same chapters, women have to stay out of the sanctuary for a time after giving birth, because she's unclean. 33 days for a boy, 66 days for a girl. So what does that say on having children?
Christians as a whole don't really have religious purity codes. You don't have to be in any special state of purity to enter a church and we'd scoff at the idea that menstruating women need to stay in tents in the parking lot, lest they defile the sanctuary.
