My son asked me if Masturbation was a sin.

My answer was it is natural even though most religion is against it, It up to you if you feel comfortable doing it. Even though he was like "mom! I am just asking not doing". The truth is I don't know what the true answer to that question. All I know is if he decides to do it, as long he in the comfort of his room I don't want to know.

Dear Karella, it is a natural act. Only thing is at what interval the child does it. In fact at regular interval if it is done it is a healthy act.

For me, it is a bit awkward to ask. But then, it is also a good thing that he asked you to guide him.
