Well that's reassuring to know ;-)

Not all denominations agree on the topic nor is the prohibition a major essential doctrine. It all depends on how you interpret the story of Onan spilling his seed and whether masturbation was considered part of 'pornea'. The pleasure derived from the sexual organs serves to both motivate men and women to join in productive unions and to strengthen the marital bond. According to natural law, masturbation is considered an abuse of the natural function of the genetalia, since it is not conducive to either.

Natural law is fact cherry picking nonsense. Abuse of the natural function my ass.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
