    Genesis 38

    6. And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar.

    7. And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him.

    8. And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.

    9. And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he SPILLED IT on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.

    10. And the thing which he did displeased the Lord.

    There was a custom that if a brother die, his widow could conceive a child through his brother. The line of seed would continue. But this remaining brother refused to participate. He went in unto her, but he did not complete the act of impregnating her. He spilled it on the ground. He died, because it displeased God.

    This shows us, that in sexual matters, God sees our intentions. The "marriage bed" is undefiled.

    Titus 1:15

    Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.

    Bottom line: it's better to be married; than self-gratifying. These days media demands that we satisfy ourselves, with beauty and power. May we always ask God for a suitable mate.
