According to the Catholic Church would I still be considered a pure woman even though I've masturbated before?

I have never done anything sexual with a person, but I've been sexually active by myself. (Not anymore) would I still be considered "pure" and a virgin or would I be considered a woman who has had sex before?

  • Good question. Don't catholics frown on masturbation?

    • What does frown mean? (I'm sorry, English isn't my first language)

    • Frown. Sad face. Disapprove

  • if you masturbated you are in mortal sin... it's not a matter of being pure or not, but of being in a Gods grace or not

    • I've asked God for forgiveness so many times, last time I masturbated I think it was June or Jul 2021.

    • July*

    • If you are Catholic, it is not enough to ask God for forgiveness, you need to go to confession with a priest

  • You are still a virgin. None of us a "pure," defined as non-sinful. That is why Catholics go to confession. Just confess your sins.

    • Ok thank you

  • Yes, I think so. If God didn't want us masterbating, than it wouldn't feel so damn good.

    • That's a stupid reason. It's the same as saying "If God didn't want us to have sex outside marriage it wouldn't feel so damn good". Just because it feels good or natural doesn't mean it's right.

    • drugs also feel good if you are using it… bad argument dude

    • Absolutely rihht

  • You are still a virgin. If masturbating took your virginity then there would be so many incels.

    • But am I a virgin according to the catholic church?

    • I don't know all of the tenants of the Catholic Church; but as a Christian I can say that you still are a virgin.

  • Priests literally rape children and they’re still convinced their going to heaven. You’re good lol

    • Those "priests" aren't good priests. There has been many evil people that has tried to destroy the Catholic Church, but that doesn't mean that that's what a real priest is like.

  • Even thinking about anything sexual would be considered sinful, especially if that had anyone living or dead involved in your fantasy. So... No.

    • Okay:/

  • No more

    • No more what?

    • Not pure anymore

    • Oh:( Well what should I do?
