• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

There are few teenage guys who haven't suddenly found out about masturbation. So getting into heaven is no issue at all. It won't be an all female gathering.

Christians differ on this. The worst affect of masturbation can be the guilt, confusion and despair that many experience as well as it leading to bad stuff like porn.

What you do need to clearly recognise is that your sex drive has just gone onto steroids the way God designed it to, and that you will have it for the next few decades. So, you must decide what you will do that does not entail an unnecessarily complicating and stressful situation for you.

Read around on the forum and you will find heaps of information from all perspectives. But you are not odd, perverted or in danger of Hell.

MTC, i know you are just discovering Masturbation for the first time. I must tell you that as hard as it may seem, you must not touch anymore! Please take it from one who is still recovering from years of Masturbation.. It can become very addictive and almost impossible to stop, i can understand that at your age you are becoming curious, but please try your best to not touch any longer.. Its a terrible habit, but god will not condemn you to hell just because you masturbated. Ask for forgiveness and the strength to resist the urge to touch.
