You do not need to experiment with sex. Sex is only for your future spouse. Masturbation is not God’s best – even if “you’re not hurting anyone” – you are hurting yourself – and hurting God’s feelings (1 Corinthians 6:18 ESV – “Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body”)

With Julia, everything came back to her own sexuality. As soon as this was touched upon in any way she was capable of great acuteness. Unlike Winston, she had grasped the inner meaning of the Party's sexual puritanism. The way she put it was:
'When you make love you're using up energy; and afterwards you feel happy and don't give a damn for anything. They can't bear you to feel like that. They want you to be bursting with energy all the time. All this marching up and down and cheering and waving flags is simply sex gone sour. If you're happy inside yourself, why should you get excited about Big Brother and the Three-Year Plans and the Two Minutes Hate and all the rest of their bloody rot?'
"Sex is only for your future spouse.”
Masturbation is not God’s best […] you are hurting yourself
No, I’m not. I’m not a masochist. And if you are unintentionally hurting yourself during masturbation, then you’re doing it wrong.
and hurting God’s feelings
…If me pleasuring myself hurts the “poow widdle feewings” of an omnipotent cosmic deity that governs an infinite multiverse and has much better things to do, then frankly I give less than 0 fucks about it.

To be fair, they probably think El is that exa-fussy about everything and everyone in that incredibly massive space. God wouldn’t be God if he weren’t a pure control freak with infinite competence with holding and executing grudges, to them…

Yes, and that’s because they are exa-fussy control freaks. They believe any god must behave the way they would behave if they were said god. If they were god, absolutely they would be cosmically offended if others were doing something they said isn’t allowed! I don’t think it occurs to them that such a god would have other things to do, because while they could be doing other, more worthwhile things with their time and their ministries, they choose to be obsessed with what their parishioners and everyone else are doing in their bedrooms.
“you are hurting yourself – and hurting God’s feelings”
Naah, I’m good. Dunno about your abominable godhead but honest to fuck if he gets all pissy and tantrumy cuz adults are having consensual sex between each other all around, he’s no better than a frustrated incel basement dweller and not much of a figure I’d want to have anything to do with, much less give it any actual worship time of the day.
With masturbation guilt you're actually hurting yourself, not only other people. By preaching it, you're hurting other people. An old nonsense quote from old scripture, like a "sin against one's body", remains nonsense.
Confused?
