so I don't get if masturbation is a sin for some?

[girlfromsocal]

are sex acts too?
Like what about oral sex or anal sex? They aren't types of sex that contribute to procreation? Just curious because I've read masturbation to some so are all types of sex that don't contribute to pregnancy wrong to certain faiths? Jw? What about sex with an older women? What about infertile people?

This is under a thing in the Christian Catholic faith called natural law.

The basic over view of natural law is that humans have a telos ( purpose/goal) in life. One of these goals is to reproduce. Therfore anything that doesn't lead to reproduction is wrong. So using this mastubation, anal sex, oral sex, contraception and homosexuality are wrong. With infertile people it is a difficult one, but as before they know they are infertile and trying for children they are having sex with the intent of reporducing so it is ok. ONce they know they are infertile it becomes tricky, but as there is a slim slim chance they might conceive you can still argue that it is ok.

That is a very basic overview, but I hoped it helped.

I personally am a non-denominational Christian. I am a lesbian so think homosexuality is fine. I do believe that anal sex is wrong at least wrong for me. Oral sex I believe stimulates and in hetrosexual sex is important to help the women, meaning that penatrive sex is easier. With mastuabation.... I did mastubate for 2-3 years, but I have stopped as I believe that I have learnt what works for me etc and that the purpose of matubation is no longer needed. Plus I was mastuabating using porn and now I have changed as a person and realised that porn is objectifying and wrong.

well what about old women or someone without any possibility to have a child. Like I have a relative with cah and they aren't able to ever get pregnant. She doesn't even the female organs. Anyway in cases like that do they believe in forcing them into cellibacy or what?
