The prohibition of extracting semen in vain (in Hebrew: הוצאת זרע לבטלה) is (according to Orthodox Judaism) a Biblical prohibition[1][2][3][4] derived from (Genesis 38:7),[5] this is explained in the Midrash and Talmud. (A Rabbinical prohibition is one that is not found in the Torah by way of biblical exegesis - a Biblical prohibition is one that is.) The prohibition forbids a male from intentional wasteful spilling of his semen. Unintentional wasting of seed is also a (lesser) sin according to the Oral Torah.[6]
