Should we practice masturbation to feel full and fulfilled? (Part I)

1 Corinthians 7: 3-9
"The husband should please his wife as a husband. The wife should please her husband as a wife. The wife is not the boss of her own body. It belongs to the husband. And in the same way, the husband is not the boss of his own body. It belongs to the wife. Do not keep from each other that which belongs to each other in marriage unless you agree for awhile so you can use your time to pray. Then come together again or the devil will tempt you to do that which you know you should not do. This is what I think. I am not saying you must do it. 7 I wish everyone were as I am, but each has his own gift from God. One has one gift. Another has another gift. This is what I say to those who are not married and to women whose husbands have died. It is good if you do not get married. I am not married. But if you are not able to keep from doing that which you know is wrong, get married. It is better to get married than to have such strong sex desires."

Nowadays many people are confused about if masturbation is a sin or not. So to be able to clarify a little the subject is needed to go to the roots ....
Sex? Why did God create sex? Let's read:
1. "And God made man in His own likeness. In the likeness of God He made him. He made both male and female. And God wanted good to come to them, saying, “Give birth to many. Grow in number. Fill the earth and rule over it. Rule over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”" (Genesis 1: 27-28)
2. "How beautiful and how pleasing you are, my love! How happy you make me! You stand like a palm tree. And your breasts are like its fruit. I said, ‘I will go to the top of the palm tree. I will take hold of its branches.’ O, may your breasts be like the fruit of the vine, and the sweet smell of your breath like pleasing fruit. And may your mouth be like the best wine.” “For my love, it is smooth going down, flowing through the lips while sleeping. “I am my love’s, and he wants me. Come, my love, let us go to the country. Let us spend the night in the villages. Let us get up early and go to the grape-fields. Let us see if the buds are on the vines, and if its flowers have opened. Let us see if the pomegranates have flowers. There I will give you my love. The mandrakes have given out their sweet smell. And over our doors are all the best fruits, both new and old, which I have saved for you, my love." (Song of Solomon 7:6-13)
3. "Let your well be honored, and be happy with the wife you married when you were young. Let her be like a loving, female deer. Let her breasts please you at all times. Be filled with great joy always because of her love." (Proverbs 5: 18-19)
4. "Do you not know that your body is a house of God where the Holy Spirit lives? God gave you His Holy Spirit. Now you belong to God. You do not belong to yourselves. God bought you with a great price. So honor God with your body. You belong to Him." (1 Corinthians 6: 19-20). 

The Word of God teaches us that God created sex to be enjoyed in marriage and we can we can have children, we can delight with our partner in a healthy and holy way.

God bless you and have an excellent day in Christ Jesus!
