the end result is the same: sin. and with sin comes hell :'(

Self-abuse is a sin, the bible says so. And if any of us want to inherit the kingdom we must give up earthly pleasures such as self-abuse. I say eat graham crackers as snacks, it is a mild food which will reduce sexual cravings, and the start of the day should be with kellogs corn flakes.

Flee from sexual immorality. 1 Corinthians 6:18.

Well I suppose that such a position is a personal one that is between you and your God. However, don't expect those that are not of faith to understand your position. In fact, expect ridicule because there is no reason for them to understand. After all, its not against the law is it?
I think perhaps your question would be better addressed in the spirituality forum for those of faith. I think that would be a more condusive discussion.
Come on!
Im catholic, I am a person of faith. But don't expect me to believe that God will send me to hell for masturbation!
You should focus on what Jesus' objective really was, instead of what people do with themselves when they're alone.
Grow up!

Hey, you asked. What do I know?
God doesn't like people to tickle his own armpit, right? Why? Because we don't enjoy it. If anyone else tickle my armpit, I laugh, but I don't when I tickle myself.
But what about 'tickle' my private parts? God likes it, right? Why? Because we enjoy it. If anyone else 'tickle' my pirvate parts, I enjoy it, *and* I enjoy it when I do it myself.
So god doesn't like when we tickle ourselves in the armpit, but he let's us enjoy it when we 'tickle' ourselves in our private parts. Can He show it more clearly?
And that, my friends, is the problem: Everyone thinks it is a sin when it isn't.
