    If I touch my body without any sexual desire is it a sin itching at the main part I know it’s not proper but is it a very major grave sin No or yes strictest answer possible

    No — not a major grave sin if there is no sexual desire and it is only for removing itching or discomfort.

    In Jain dharma, the inner intention matters most.

    • If there is no lust, no sensual intent, no attachment, then it is not a very grave sin.
    • But touching the private parts should still be done carefully, with restraint and awareness, because it can become a cause of impurity, carelessness, and subtle attachment.

    Strict answer:

    • Major grave sin? No.
    • Improper / avoidable act? Yes.

    If done only for physical need and without desire, it is not the same as sexual misconduct in Jain understanding.
