Without mincing words, masturbation is a sin

Masturbation is simply defined as “Manual stimulation of the genital organs (of yourself or another) for sexual pleasure.
Today, masturbation has gone to another level from hand stimulation to use of sex toys that were produced for that specific purpose.
A lot of folk are addicted to masturbation; they go to bed with dildos, vibrators, and the likes.
But is it true the New Testament never addressed the issue of masturbation because God wanted us to masturbate?
I don’t think so. As far as I am concerned, that is like saying, “the bible didn’t say we should not cook our rice with rat poison because he wanted us to commit suicide!
Now I am going to give you just one scripture. Let’s bear in mind that for one to masturbate:
There must be a thought process, a mental image of a man or woman or sex scene or sex pictures, which one focuses on, and then together with the manual stimulation, that brings one to an orgasm. This then means that for one to masturbate;
there has to be a mental undressing of the object/person in question, and a mental sexual experience!
Now here is what Jesus said:

But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
(Mat 5:28 KJV) - This knocks off masturbation completely. The process that leads to masturbation is what Jesus Christ equated with adultery in the heart! The message is clear! Without mincing words, masturbation is a sin.
A summary of how to stop it.
