In today’s podcast, I’m going to be answering a question that was emailed to us. Is it okay for a man to masturbate while fantasizing about his wife?

We encourage you to send us your questions as I really love to answer some of things that you all are experiencing and facing.

So the question I got this week was from a guy who's involved in an accountability group. The guys in the group are making good progress.

They're leaving their unwanted sexual behaviors behind including masturbation and fantasy, but one of the questions that's come up in the group is, “Is it okay for a man to masturbate while fantasizing about his wife?” Is it okay for a man to fantasize or a woman to fantasize?

If the man is fantasizing about his wife, if the woman is fantasizing about her husband?

There's actually a lot in that question.

So I want to address this question by asking two questions:

  •     What does scripture say?
  •     What is helpful?

Join us today, as I believe this will bring clarity, wisdom and healing on our journey towards sexual integrity.

Outline:

  •     Introduction to this episode. 
  •     What does scripture say about masturbation? 
  •     God’s design for marriage. 
  •     Scripture on masturbation and sexual integrity. 
  •     It’s not a landing spot. 
  •     Are you really being faithful to your spouse? 
  •     Lift up your eyes to the greater calling. 

If this is challenging and you are looking to go deeper, try Manna for Men & Oasis for Women.
