Well, (not a Christian) as I understand it the whole "don't masturbate" comes from the story of Onan. Onan was some rando who had his brother die and as such he was obligated to impregnate his brothers wife (as was the fashion at the time) so his son by his brothers wife would be the heir of his bother.... I'm sure it made sense at the time.
Instead Onan decides to practice "pull out" contraception so he can keep fucking both his own wife and his brothers wife too. This pisses off God and he gets all smite-y on Onan.
This gets interpreted as either "Masturbation is a sin" or "Give you brother an heir" or "Don't defy gods cucking fetish" depending on which sect you talk to.
It's more "don't defy God" in this story.
That's basically what ALL of the old testament and ridiculous amounts of the new one boil down to, though 🤷
. ……..seriously? First off; what a wild ass story. Second, how on earth can masturbation be the takeaway? Religion is so weird.
