Sexual sin begins with an abusive intention, a negligent or lustful thought. Jesus said, "Anyone who looks upon a woman in order to lust upon her has already committed adultery with her in his heart" (Mt. 5.28).
Marriage is an honorable unity; God will judge anyone disrespecting in any form of disobedience the honorable institution he designed for the reproduction of mankind, i.e., adulterers and fornicators (Heb. 13.4).
Advanced medical technology is an artifice of the devil when it does not recognize the honor of unity in marriage. A woman being impregnated by someone other than her husband through scientific means is a partaker of fornication.
Mankind has a responsibility to recognize marriage and its honor. Responsibility has to do with the "will" of a person. When anyone wishes or desires to violate someone's honor, it is sinful lust. Sometimes, people are non-consenting to the willful and sinful lust of violators, becoming victims of rape.
Genital stimulation outside of marriage wherein the man's secretion is prevented to enter the woman may avoid pregnancy or disease, but the act is sinful and in dishonor of the institution of marriage, which God ordained: "It is good for a man not to touch a woman; but on account of fornication let each man have his own wife, and each woman her own husband" (1 Cor. 7.1, 2). All forms of natural sexual lust are sinful, such as masturbation. Be you holy in every way you go according as He is holy who has called you" (1 Pet. 1.15). "Blessed are the pure in heart, because they shall see God" (Mt. 5.8).
