Is masturbation sinful or not?<\/a> What is not allowed is pornography (I Thessalonians 4:3-5) and fornication (Hebrews 13:4).<\/p>\nThe second problem is that two are involved in fornication. If your girlfriend is not committed to ending the sexual encounters, she will start tempting you and you will give in because she knows just what it takes to get your clothes off. Therefore, you have to decide if you can continue dating this woman and not be led into sin. If the answer is that you are likely to fall again, then you either need to marry her or separate until you are in a position to marry.<\/p>\n\t
