Ok, so my next question then is…if both married partners are in agreement with the other pleasuring their self in order to mutually pleasure each other…would that be acceptable?
Along the same idea, what if the married couple is separated for a time and want to keep themselves from temptation while apart; and have access to mutually participate in pleasuring each other by way of phone or some means such as that, while they are separated? For example, a couple that is separated because of work or some reason such as that. Or maybe if they are separated due to a death or illness in the family and the one is not able to go, and due to the sadness of the one and feeling the need to be comforted by the unity with the other. Would pleasuring oneself be a sin in that instance, if it is to be used in mutually pleasuring the other and/or to avoid temptation like is referenced in this Scripture:
1 Cor. 7:5 Defraud not one another, except, perhaps, by consent, for a time, that you may give yourselves to prayer; and return together again, lest Satan tempt you for your incontinency.
