Did Jesus Masturbate (An Interesting, Yet Thought Provoking Thread)
Last night I was speaking with a close friend when the subject arose (no pun intended) on whether or not Jesus masturbated. My argument held its roots in the idea that Jesus was human, thus having human desires that could have translated into masturbation. Granted, He was the Son of God, yet he had hormones and desires as any other human. He probably could keep his behavior in check, yet I'm having a difficult time believing that when Jesus woke up with morning wood, as a teenager, that he wasn't compelled to explore this interesting male phenomenon.
Opinions?

I don't think masturbation is considered a sin in the churches of christ, so I'd say hell yea he did!

actually yes it is....you can sin with your mind. Having sex with someone in your own imagination is considered fornication none-the-less. So since it is a sin and Jesus cannot sin then apparently he did not masturbate.

If Jesus masturbated, then who did he think about in his thoughts?

God? Or maybe that would be incest?
No word like masturbation is anywhere in the bible. I find it to be a bit of a conspicuous omission. As there are so many passages about the evils of simple thoughts like lust and 'coveting another's wife', why is there no mention of an incredibly prevalent act which pretty much presupposes those thoughts?
90% of men masturbate, the other 10% are liars.

haha...
my opinion is this. masturbation may not be mentioned in the bible per say, however, masturbation is still related to the word "sex" in general. obstaining from, even thinking about, is the right thing to do and since he was a prophet, then I think its safe to say he did not masturbate.

lustful thoughts are a sin, if you think lustful thoughts when masturbating than you are sinning.

No, I don't think he did. Because of most of the reason above. And you're forgetting that masturbation is not something that is forced, it is not a biological need and you can CHOOSE not to do it.

indeed you should be sorry.......that image has appeared repeatedly across the AF boards.......
As to whether the big J was in the habit of pulling his plonker....
If he was, as record would have it,a mere human,he most definitely would have done.All men are genetically programmed to seek their pleasures in any way that they can.It may not suit the propaganda merchants and medieval spin doctors who drafted the standardised versions of the gospels,but if Jesus was an ordinary guy who just happened to also be the son of God,then yes he probably had all the shortcomings of an ordinary guy,including horny thoughts and guilt,the two staple ingredients of the Catholic faith.
yes,it's late,I've got a bad case of surplus time and Fritz has made a statement that I couldn't resist exploring further.A quick Google search took me to www.askwendi.com where I was given this little gem...
