Let us be self-controlled, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and hope of salvation as a helmet. (1 Thessalonians 5:8)

Encourage the young men to be self-controlled. (Titus 2:6)

Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. (2 Timothy 2:22)

Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. (Romans 6:12)

They have perverted their ways and have forgotten the LORD their God. (Jeremiah 3:21)

Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more. (Ephesians 4:19)

Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. (James 1:21)

Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire. (Jude 1:7)

Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. (Romans 1:24)

Since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. (Romans 1:28)

Answer 2

It totally belongs in health and if you are in the health field, you will KNOW that sexual issues are handled in the medical field. Whether it be be for ED or porn addiction or excessive masturbation. You can search the internet under porn addiction and there are many resources. They are usually dealt with by a Counselor, Phd Psychologist (A step up from an RN) or Psychiatrist (an MD).
It's not normal for excessive masturbation and if there is quilt around it, that makes it worse. Get help while you are still young and I understand it only gets worse as you get older.

Good luck!

Answer 3

Oh brother.

Guilt about jerking off is overrated, If you are a teen and doing more then once a day you might want to put a limit on it.

If you want to stop, stop. Word from the bible, how bout the old wife's tail "you'll go blind" "you'll grow hair on your palm"..

It is normal. perfectly normal. God creates humans to be sexual beings, that said we need to not be lustful enough to rape. What jerking off does if done to excess is makes sex act objectified when it does finally happen for real.

Physiologically the act, releases several key neurotransmitters, when done to excess one can become dependent on this for a sense of satisfaction and well being.

Biblical? hmmm, "All things in moderation" ..
