Confused about masturbation?

Question

Confused about masturbation?
Im and a Catholic male. I, like most other boys my age, like masturbating. However I feel really really guilty about it. Likewise, I feel like bad things happen to me after I masturbate because God is punishing me for sinning masturbating. Ive read alot and most sources say its a healthy and normal thing for a human to do, whereas the Catholic Church says its very bad and sinful. I still feel really guilty, but at the same time I still want to masturbate. Help? I want realistic views and not just a bunch of Bible quotations.

Answer

Its better than overpopulating the world by having dozens of unplanned kids you wont be able to afford, just because you needed to release tension.brbrIts healthy to clear out the goop occasionally, dont let it rot inside you.brbrOn the other hand, dont overdo it so it injures yourself, or replaces your motivation to get a real girlfriend or wife later. A bit of tension build up provides motivation to socialize with and show interest in females.brbrBible says Everything in moderation. brbrJust do it.brbrIt doesnt hurt anyone its better than letting tension build and become a rapist or schizo. brIts the lesser of a choice of evils, and Jesus forgives.
