Is Masturbation Wrong In Hinduism?

Suffice it to say that a ladyfriend wants to know. ;j :wink: :o

Speaking as a theology student, they don’t like masturbation in Buddhism 101, Hinduism, or Worship and Sacrament. They’ll never notice in Reflective Practice because the lecture hall is so big that unless you sit right on the front row…

Oh. I see what you’re asking. I’m afraid I didn’t notice the topic come up in my Hinduism lecture. I must have been… otherwise engaged…

Well, pardon my sloppy phrasing, but it was a rather pressing spiritual concern. :stuck_out_tongue:

Has any of the world’s major religions ever said “masturbation is OK, go for it” ?

Hinduism neither condemns nor condones masturbation, and generally views sexual pleasure as one of the goals of life. Karmic burden is imparted by acts involving others, such as rape, abortion, and adultery. You can find endless discussion of this on Hindu websites by Googling for “masturbation” and “hinduism.”

Only until the second coming.
