Judaism and masturbation
The prohibition of extracting semen in vain (Hebrew: הוצאת זרע לבטלה) is – according to Orthodox Judaism – a Rabbinic prohibition derived from (Genesis 38:7), this is explained in the Midrash and Talmud. (A Rabbinical prohibition is one that is not found in the Torah by way of biblical exegesis – a Biblical prohibition is one that is.) The prohibition forbids a male from intentional wasteful spilling of his semen. Unintentional wasting of seed is also a (lesser) sin according to the Oral Torah. Jewish religious authorities widely dispute whether it is a biblical prohibition or a rabbinical prohibition.
