Can older married men, whose wives do not have any interest in sexual contact, masturbate without sinning?
 
Dear friend,

No. Such an act was designed by the Creator to be a mutual expression of self-giving. When it includes only one person, there is no way that it can be an expression of such love. It therefore becomes a matter of taking pleasure for oneself and there’s no love in that.

Fr. Vincent Serpa, O.P.
