'Pends on if she's ugly or not.

Wouldn't God dislike it even more if one masturbated with an ugly person in mind?
Seriously?

There are no scritures regarding masterbation as being wrong, in laviticus a discharge made you unclean for the night and thats about it. There is also the story of er but that was a special circumstance. I am not even convinced that porn is wrong as long as you are not lusting for the women in it but rather are lusting for a particular act that they are performing. Lots of people have Dogmatic opinions on this but its just not present in scripture as far as I can tell. I do believe the church has basicly turned into a anti sex institution and the numerous other sin that it going on is largly ignored but its not ignored by God. While the chruch is busy trying to keep 18 yr olds from having sex God has huge things to look at going on in this world (extortion, political posturing, pandering, you name it), it saddens me that all the church can seem to focus on is what 2 people are doing in there bed room, im not saying that people engaging in one night stands should not be addressed but ignoring the other evil that is going on does not help.

That being said unless you are on a buisness trip or something there is no reason you should be masterbating, if your wife is refusing you that is maritial unfaithfulness, I divorced my ex over this very issue and am much happier now.

Can anyone be serious when discussing the properties of a god that can't be shown to exist?

If we are a reflection of God, then my god is telling me not to masturbate to pictures of ugly women.

The question presupposes a given god exists, and asks whether this god gives two hoots about what humans are up to. As such, I contend my take is just as valid as another's.

Apparently assisting your wife masturbate is a super sin. Kind of a "two-fer".
