 Do you consider it a sin to masturbate? In that case anal masturbation is a sin as well. If you think masturbation is allowed, then I will think anal stimulation is allowed as well. What religion do you belong to? Ask your religious leader about this, only him/her will be able to tell you.

The only thing a pastor or priest will be able to tell you is something similar but they won't find anything in the bible about it because it's not there.
I challenge anyone to show me a specific irrefutable passage about it.

 A sin?!I assume you must be a follower of an ancient religion to ask such a question,so as the previous person said,a person of the same faith will be able to tell you the current thinking on this subject,but I doubt it will be what you want to hear.Outside of living a life based on the subjective translation of text written at a time when women&homosexuals were treated with ignorance&brutality,most people wouldn't presume to tell you that doing something harmless to your own body,which doesn't harm anybody,is a bad thing.

Then your opinion is just as good as anyone else's since it then becomes mere speculation or a subjective interpretation of a religious text.

 I think the view of your pastor (or, if you are not a Christian, the applicable religious authority) would be more relevant than what will be the personal religious views of various posters on here.

I'm not christian so all i know is from religious education, even then it seems like christianity has so many different sects that you'd have to specify which one you were in to know whether your group find it a sin!
