It's been thoroughly studied, and no one's managed to show a connection between masturbation or porn and any kind of harmful effects. Most people masturbate, and many people look at porn--and those who do seem to be doing just as well as those who don't. Whether or not either one is morally acceptable is a question we can't answer for you. You'll have to decide that for yourself. Hi Daniel,

We can tell you that neither masturbation nor porn will hurt you physically.

Whether or not either one is morally acceptable is a question we can’t answer for you. You’ll have to decide that for yourself.

I have researched whether or not it is bad to masturbate morally & health wise. It is a very common act and there are many urges & changes at my particular age. Even pornography seems like an urge today that over the past few weeks I have said no to my self as well as masturbation. I know the information as I did learn at Sexual Education at school. I understand that this isn't the worst sin there is to be done or the best. But as a Christian I am definitely going to avoid the urge of sex before marriage but after I first masturbated about 12 months ago now and have had morality stopping me and physical urges making me. Are these acts bad spiritually because I also understand that these acts are debated about a lot and not answered a lot. I just want to ask if its physically and more importantly morally acceptable to masturbate & even look at porn at an age where puberty is starting to show it's effects.
