From earlier - Masturbation is a sin, even if lustful thoughts are not used in the process. In Matt ch5 vs 27-30 Jesus first talks about the eyes, a part of our body that we use to lust after images, his second analogy talks about the right hand. In Jesus time the right hand was the peoples clean hand, they would not have used the left hand for touching themselves etc. Taking this into account verse 30 can only be referring to masturbation - as Jesus is talking about adultery from the heart. This is the only scripture i have found that that is referring specifically to masturbation in its context. I too asked many leaders for verses and such in regards to this topic and none were able to give me a verse.

I too asked many leaders for verses and such in regards to this topic and was always left empty handed, so i hope this has helped back it up scripturely.
