I'm afraid to answer this in light of all the answers here.
One, you're only 14. The need will wane as you get past your teenage years, and you'll be less distracted by it and more interested in spiritual pursuits.
Respect the fact that the ancient Hebrews did not consider a person an "adult" until they were about 30. While your church may frown upon imprudence, there are a lot worse things you could be doing that have greater consequences.
The best thing you could do is some study outside of the Bible about your natural processes and growing up. I'm not sure of any scripture that outright "condemns" masturbation, as opposed to promiscuity, drugs (drunkards) and other habits that will indeed follow you later in life.
The real issue regarding masturbation is being overly interested in sex outside of it's natural place. I wouldn't worry so much at your age, but if you are getting older and find the drive to be more of a vice, then you should consider some help.

The guilt complex associated with masturbation happens allot when your younger. Because it is a new thing and it's for some crazy reason considered "bad". What you do with yourself, that doesn't hurt you or anyone else is fine. I sincerely doubt Jesus would care that you enjoy an orgasm. All animals do, Male, Female, Human or whatever. As Cyndi Lauper said "You bop, I bop, she bop a' we bop". It's human nature and you'll just hurt your psych if you try to make yourself stop. Do it if you want to, don't do it if you don't want to, but don't let anyone tell you to do it or not. By the way, people of all ages do it, it really is the ultimate safe sex. :0)

I personally don't think this is sinful, but lustful thoughts are definitely sinful, and if you are convicted, then you should listen to your conscience. I commend you for caring about right and wrong so much.
Probably your best bet would be to share this with one trusted confidant -- someone OLDER (not your best bud/peer who may betray you) but someone like your dad, or a pastor or some such person. Ask them to hold you accountable. You'll be surprised at the mercy you are shown, so please don't be frightened to talk about it with someone. If they are asking you daily or weekly how it's going, you'll be less likely to give in to the temptation.
P.S. Why have you asked this question 4 times? I just saw that... it's starting to creep me out. I'm a bit worried that you're trying to take advantage of a 14-year-old boy, instead of actually being one. Stop obsessing.

You need to stop beating yourself up. What you are doing is perfectly normal. It does not hurt you unless you do it too much. Even then it is only because you will get raw. Otherwise it is no health problem. Lots of guys do it, even when much older that you. Grown men do it, much more that what they say. Even married men and men who get sex from women not in a married situation for them. So take it easy and do not feel guilty.

it might be time to talk to your youth pastor.
though most people consider it acceptable, most people don't rule out what scripture implies on the matter.
it's possible to overcome. however, you have to make the situation accountable to someone you look up to so that this can be defeated.
i'm a minister and after talking to different people through the eyars, i know that it can lead to various difficulties as you get older.
you can conquer all things through christ who is your strength.

This is a question only God can help you with. If you have a bible with a concordance( explanation of bible scriptures) refer to those scriptures dealing with the body as a temple, sexual behavior and the like and pray about this problem often. Remember, its not going to stop overnight, just pray about it.

Jesus and masturbation are two entirely different subjects - neither has anything to do with the other so your question makes no sense and you don't need help because masturbation is perfectly normal.

Castration, chemical or anatomical
As long has you have a sex drive you're going to be driven by it. It's the way God made you.
