Masturbation
Self-stimulation of the genitals to the point of orgasm. For many conservative Christians, masturbation that includes feelings of lust towards person as a sexual object is a form of adultery, as proscribed by Jesus. However, this would probably not apply if a person is able to focus on thoughts that do not involve another person. They might consider masturbation sinful for other reasons unrelated to sexual fantasies and adultery. For many liberal Christians, secularists, etc., lust is not normally a sin unless it harms someone. For someone caught in sexual compulsions and addictions, the Purity Project insists that a person stop masturbation entirely.
