What should I tell him.?!
Question: What should I tell him..?
I have a young friend who told me he had never masturbated. I teased him here and there about it until he told me he'd "try it".
The followup he said was it felt unethical. Without prying too much, I want to tell him that it's totally fine and nothing to be embarrased about or anything like that. Any ideas how to get that convo started.?Health Question & Answer

I think that depends on the difference in your ages. If you are an adult male, and he is a juvenile, you should just leave it alone.Health Question & Answer

Health Question & Answer
I say just come out and start it. This information will help. It's an answer I gave to another person asking if whether or not masturbation is a sin. It was voted best answer. Funny because I just copied and pasted it exactly like I said I would.
Haha... I should really just start copying and pasting my answers on this. I answer the same question way too often. I'm sixteen and I have done a ton of research on topics such as this one and general theology (study of the Bible). I want to be a preacher. ^^ I'm not a religious freak though, so you can relax. Lol... No. The actual act of masturbation is not a sin and it is in fact very healthy for you to do so. The sin comes in when you start to LUST. That would be like if you are looking at dirty pictures while you're masturbating or thinking about you and (insert name here) doing it. It is possible to jack off just to the sensation of you and your penis. Harder, but possible. Now, when you do lust, and you will lust, you are able to come to God and ask for forgiveness as well as the strength to not do it again. I John 1:9 says, "If we confess are sins, he is faithful and just to FORGIVE us our sins and to CLEANSE US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS." That is how we receive eternal life as well. We know that Christ came and died on the cross so that we could be forgiven. We ask him to enter into our hearts and save us. We ask for forgiveness and admit that we need such. Anyway, that's getting off topic. Haha... Email or IM me sometime if you have any other questions or if you just wanna talk to somebody.
Grace and Peace,
