Could this be mortal sin?

[Luney123]

If I was on social media and searched a woman’s name knowing that it could give
me . . . pleasure since she is very attractive is that mortal sin?(she was fully clothed btw)

 

[JohnStrachan]

I think you already know the answer to this question.

 

[lwest]

3 conditions for mortal sin: grave matter, full knowledge, full consent. Knowingly seeking out something you know will give you an arousal while fully knowing it was wrong. I think you covered them all there unless there were mitigating factors you didn’t share (being drunk so maybe you didn’t give full consent…)

Ask the question of yourself: Was it intended for arousal by psychic means?

Modern Catholic Dictionary (Excerpt)

Masturbation. Direct stimulation of the sex organs outside of sexual intercourse. The self-stimulation can be physical, by means of some external object, or psychic, by means of thoughts and the imagination. It is a grave misuse of the procreative faculty and when done with full consent and deliberation is a serious sin. The sinfulness consists in setting in motion the generative powers while preventing them from achieving, their natural, divinely intended purpose.
