17 You shall not covet your neighbour’s house; you shall not covet your neighbour’s wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbour.
Quote:
"9And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother. 10And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also." That particular passage refers to coitus interruptus rather than masturbation specifically, but plenty of people interpret the "sin" of Onan as the spilling of his seed upon the ground, regardless of the circumstances surrounding it. |

Onanism aside, God created us with our sexual urges and certainly the means to control it. There are countless verses regarding what God expects of us to do with our bodies, and masturbation and contraception are in clear violation of that.

Masturbation clearly is clearly wrong from a Biblical standpoint. Contraception however, is not.
Those who argue against contraception often cite the Biblical command given to Adam and Eve: “Increase and multiply, and fill the earth.” (Genesis 1:28, Douay) However, it would seem somewhat contradictory to apply to 6,000 million human beings the same formula that was applied to the only two inhabitants of the planet. This command was clearly related to the special circumstances existing at that time Nowhere in the Bible is birth control or family planning discussed. Although the Bible condemns sexual immorality, it does not teach that only procreation can legitimize sexual relations between husband and wife. (Compare Proverbs 5:15-20; 1 Corinthians 7:2, 3.) In this matter, therefore, as in others where direct Scriptural guidance is absent, each couple must decide in harmony with their conscience. Establishing arbitrary standards of right and wrong would be going “beyond what is set down.”—1 Corinthians 4:6, The New American Bible, a Catholic translation. This does not mean that every form of birth control is acceptable in God’s sight. The Bible makes clear that God esteems the life of the unborn child and takes note of its embryonic development. (Psalm 139:13-16; Jeremiah 1:5) Under the Mosaic Law, someone who even unwittingly caused the death of an unborn child was liable to severe punishment. (Exodus 21:22, 23) Therefore, from God’s viewpoint, abortion is reprehensible, and so is any other device or medication that terminates life after conception has occurred. |

Honestly, it's nothing like cheating. If needed the guy can ask his girlfriend for consent to looking at porn, that may change the negative effects it has on relationships. Quote:

I'm pretty sure when you look at porn you generally think desirous thoughts about the people in porn. Regardless, just because I answered their request for some biblical references, doesn't mean I believe those references. I have no problem with the concept of pornography whatsoever. I am completely and irrevocably of the opinion that consenting adults can do absolutely anything they want, bar none. |
