Firstly I don't think that masturbation is the "sin of lust".
Secondly I don't think its dangerous.

Scriputre is next to silent on the subject of masturbation. It sure don't say anything we could build teaching on.

And since masturbation is so prevelant amongst males and since it often begins during early childhood, one could easily conclude that such a significantly universal practice would be condemned in Scripture if it was wrong.

So as far as I'm concerned wank away.

Biblically, the problem I see is with out thinking.
Our thought life IS significant. We need to bring every thought into captivity to Christ and think on pure, good and godly things.

Now if I'm wanking AND thinking about boys where does that put me?
I've tried wanking and NOT thinking.... I don't think I can do it.
I'm still undecided on this point.
One thing I do agree with .... we are not meant to be feeling guilty all the time.
The reality is I AM SEXUALLY ATTRACTED TO BOYS... I can't help that. So how to best manage that attraction.
Some of the guys have suggested that wanking is the least of a bad set of options. I think at the end of the day that this is probably correct.

Still searcing.
