Originally posted by abnoxioProbably not. Onanism was a sin. More likely he had a wife (Mary Magdalene?) and maybe a mistress (Mary Magdalene?)
I mean how can you take a guy seriously if he didn't at least wack it once?
OR
He was an Essene and took a vow of chastity.
Either way it is unlikely that he masturbated.
Originally posted by abnoxiovideos wouldn't have existed. However, the ancients had pornography of sorts. The romans & greeks had all sorts of this type of art. The Jews would have considered it a sin to decorate with images of humans.
So I guess Jesus watching videos of plump chicks solo would be right out as well.
Originally posted by Red NightOnan was having sex with a woman and pulled out before he climaxed. He was not masturbating.
Onan spilled his seed upon the ground and God struck him dead.
(BTW, I'm not saying it is a sin just that a jew of the 1st century would have believed it a sin.)
9 But Onan knew that the heir would not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in to his brother’s wife, that he emitted on the ground, lest he should give an heir to his brother.
