Hi, guys —

  • If a spouse cannot become pregnant and is having her period, is it a sin for her to masturbate her husband?

Eric replied:

Hi, Tim —

Yes; any sexual act that is deliberately not open to life, including any form of masturbation (or artificial contraception), is against the moral law.

Acts that are, by design open to life, but not deliberately sterile, aren't included in this, such as sex after menopause or with someone naturally sterile.
