I'll just post a few verses from the Bible which make it very clear to me (there are more). You interpret them how you will.

Matthew 5:28 ESV
But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

1 Corinthians 6:18 ESV
Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.

Galatians 5:16 ESV
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 ESV
For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God;

Colossians 3:5 ESV
Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

1 Corinthians 6:13 ESV
“Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food”—and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

Galatians 5:19-21 ESV
Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 ESV
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

Hebrews 13:4 ESV
Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.

Mark 7:20-23 ESV
And he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him. For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”

Hummmm, a simple google search would produce this;
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/WhatistheProtestantviewofporn

^^ I kid, I kid, but not to delve too deeply into a centuries old schism of Christianity and the strife I wouldn't go near with a 10 ft pole, I think the best summary is something like this-
Human Sexuality is one of the original issues that spurred the split in the times of Martin Luther & Calvin, in the form of such thing as priest celibacy.
Now it might not have been until recently (ie the early 20th century) that protestants in general opened up on such issues as masturbation, contraception, and so on- but they did open up, and are now open.

Theres one Roman Catholic Church, but only god knows how many Protestant branches, so of course they're going to differ wildly between more liberal and conservative strains.
But there are definitely some Protestant branches who don't just limit themselves to reproductive differences, but views of masturbation and pornography.
And hey, to them, I am sure the scripture supports their position- its both of your opinions, to be respected. To quote some;




So to those who might be seeking to learn about their sexuality, growth, and how the churches condemn, endorse, or are ambivalent to it- remember that you can always consult with whatever you call your religious figure, and it can be based upon your denomination.
And that its definitely a sin if you're a Catholic.


None of this has scriptural backing which is what my previous post stated. People can claim anything they want, but without scriptural backing, it's rather hollow, and not really Christianity. You can't just make up your own rules, especially when they are directly contradictory to what is in the Bible. Remember, it is not by our standards that we are judged, but by God's.
