  Onan (WebBible Encyclopedia) - ChristianAnswers.Net
Onan was a wicked man, the second son of Judah, grandson of Jacob, greatgrandson of Isaac, greatgreatgrandson of Abraham.
Onan's sin was in purposely disobeying his father, denying his wife the opportunity of conceiving the child that she wanted (and probably needed).
God judged Onan not fit for his ultimate position as the leader of this especially important tribe of God's chosen people, which was destined to be the line of King David, and ultimately of Mary and Joseph, the parents of Jesus.

  Onan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After his older brother Er died, Onan was required by the tradition of levirate marriage to marry Er's widow Tamar.
One Jewish interpretation is that Onan was deserving of the death penalty solely because he sinned by spilling his seed (see Babylonian Talmud tractate Niddah 13a).
More evidence against interpretation of Onan's sin as masturbation is contained in Leviticus 15, which discusses the ritual impurity resulting from heterosexual intercourse (15:18) separately from that resulting from ejaculation (16-17), implying that masturbation is not a capital offense.

 THE SIN OF ONAN (This Rock: July 1991)
"Onan, however, knew that the descendents would not be counted as his; so, whenever he had relations with his brother's widow, he wasted his seed on the ground, to avoid contributing offspring for his brother.
Onan was supposed to marry his deceased brother's childless widow.
Onan performed the act which bears his name because the child which might have resulted would have been counted as his brother's, rather than his own--something Onan found intolerable.

 Onan's Sin
Onan has been accused of covetousness and theft for disobeying his father Judah.
Onan and his older brother Er paid with their lives, but Judah saved his third son by keeping him away from Tamar.
But Onan knew that the offspring would not be his; so when he went in to his brother’s wife he spilled the semen on the ground, lest he should give offspring to his brother.

 Genesis 38. The Holy Bible: King James Version.
And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.
And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.

 Onanism, The Sin of Onan
Onan's real sin, many now maintain, was not the spilling of his seed on the ground, but rather his refusal to fulfill the Levirate law which required him to give his sister-in-law Tamar a child after his brother Er* had died.
After all Onan's younger brother Shelah did not enable Tamar to have a child, but he was not slain.
The crucial difference between Onan and Shelah was that the latter did not "lay" with his sister-in-law and then interrupt the act.

 The Sin of Onan (No. 162)
However, the identification of Onan with this sin is incorrect and trivialises the entire issue of the sin of Onan and the reason for which the Lord slew him.
Onan was aware that the offspring would not be his and the opportunity to take the inheritance by default which was a double portion would be lost.
Onan sinned because he would not honour the laws governing the welfare of his brother’s family under the land ownership laws as laid down by the Bible.

38:9-10 But Onan knew that the offspring would not be his; so whenever he lay with his brother's wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from producing offspring for his brother.
For Onan's sister-in-law, whose original husband had died, to have a child was the only way to ensure an inheritance in the family and survive.

 Catholic Culture : Document Library : The Sin of Onan Revisted
A typical traditional Jewish commentary puts it thus: "[Onan] misused the organs God gave him for propagating the race to unnaturally satisfy his own lust, and he was therefore deserving of death." And this is undoubtedly in accord with the natural impression which most unprejudiced readers will draw from the text of Genesis 38.
The implications of this for Genesis 38:9, wherein Onan's sexual act is described in starkly explicit terms, are clear.
We are asked to believe that, according to Genesis, Onan committed no sinful act; rather, that his sin was to refrain from acting appropriately toward his deceased brother because of some sort of selfish interior disposition.

It was a widespread belief that Onan was killed by God because he masturbated.
Under ancient Jewish tradition, Er's brother Onan was required to marry and engage in sexual intercourse with Tamar.
Because any offspring would not be considered his child, Onan decided to use a common and relatively ineffective contraceptive technique to prevent conception.

Certainly the sin of Onan in Genesis is an immoral act.
And Onan's story appears in the first book of the bible, it is an early story, like the Acts story is an early story for the Christians.
Point is, it is a critical fact that Onan had an easily accessible and legitimate outlet for his sex drive and he chose to disobey at that point.

 Why did God kill Onan?
Three of the foremost cults in the world, roman catholicism, judaism and islam teach that it was because Onan withdrew and spilled his seed on the ground instead of inside Tamar, therefore they say, God hates mastabation and therefore God killed Onan for mastabating.
So, if the Lord had killed Onan for the sin of mastabation, there would be in at least two more places, references to mastabation being a sin worthy of death.
Onan's father, Judah, said to Onan "'Go in unto (fornicate with) thy brother's wife (Tamar), and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.'" And what did Onan do?

 The Sin of Onan Revisited - Morality and Natural Family Planning
If simple refusal to give legal offspring to his deceased brother were, according to Genesis 38, Onan's only offense, it seems extremely unlikely that the text would have spelt out the crass physical details of his contraceptive act (cf.v.9).
It should be remembered also that we are here dealing with a culture which so abhorred that other form of "wasting the seed" —; the homosexual act — that it prescribed the death penalty for this offense.
In Gen. 38, Judah, in exhorting his son Onan to marry Tamar, makes no appeal to any divine mandate: he appears to be relying upon only his paternal authority.
