Is giving a client a handjob as part of a massage a sin?
Question:
I am a male massage therapist. I want to know if it is a sin to give a full body massage that includes massaging the penis and masturbating the client for full relaxation.
Answer:
Is this not just one aspect of homosexuality? But homosexuality is condemned in the Scriptures: "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God" (I Corinthians 6:9-10). There are two words being used in this passage for homosexual acts: one is defined as the giving (active part) and the other as the receiving (passive part). Both are equally condemned.
Sexual touching is condemned between unmarried males and females: "It is good for a man not to touch a woman" (I Corinthians 7:1). Sexual touching does not become right just because it is a man who is stimulating a man, it just compounds the sin.
