The Catholic Church teaches that manual stimulation within the context of sexual activity is not in line with its teachings on sexual ethics. The Church believes that sexual acts should be open to the possibility of procreation and should only take place within the sacrament of marriage. Manual stimulation is considered to be a form of sexual activity that does not align with these principles.
Teaching Ethics was created in 2001.

The Catholic church has a history of much more stringent ethics and moral beliefs than many other religions.Catholics stress the 10 Commandments, intervention or Intercession by Saints and Angels. They believe in a Triune God: God the Father, Son (Jesus Christ) and the Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit). They believe in the morals Mary represents as the mother of Jesus.Ethics and Morality are considered as rules more than choices, although as Catholics mature from children to adults, morality and ethics should become personal choices based on religious instruction.Catholics have set moral and ethical stances against:contraceptionabortioneuthanasiahuman rights violationsCatholic AnswerThe Church's moral teaching (its "ethics") is based on the teaching of Our Blessed Lord as reflecting in the New Testament, and the constant teaching of the Church. Our Blessed Lord's teaching was reflective of the Old Testament, but much more strict. He often said, "You have heard that it was said of old ...., but I say" For instance, in the Old Testament, adultery was condemned. Our Blessed Lord expanded this to include even looking on a woman with lust. The Church has reflected Our Blessed Lord's teaching in calling everyone to chastity in order to better live for the Kingdom of God. For a complete explanation of the Church's moral teaching, please get a copy of the Catechism of the Catholic Churchor read it online. See links below:
