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.

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.
