I'll pray for you and do believe Porno is a sin, because of looking on the nakedness of others in situatuations that effect your thoughts, lusts, feelings, desire's, wants, and leads to addiction. I don't believe masturbation is a sin, however if your thoughts are impure, thinking about someone other then a spouse, or your addicted to it then yes the addiction or the thoughts are sins, but God knows what masturbation is and no where does He condemn it. He does however condemn sexual impurity, are you masturbating in impurity, or are you just masturbating. I know I have masturbated without thinking about others or anything, I've just woke up, the wife was at work and needed a release, no biggie, and I don't believe I sinned. Having said this I must admit there have been similar times that started the same way but turned to impure thoughts while releasing. None of us are perfect and I believe we need to avoid things that we can't control. For this reason I hadn't masturbated in overe a month until yesterday morning when I woke up needing a release, but without any impure thoughts, I was thinking of the wife. I don't think I sinned, but it sounds like you should avoid it. I know I have no reason any longer to desire to touch, but if I do, it isn't always a sin.

Sexual interest is perfectlly normal. We do need to avoid wrong material of course, but most young people are not asexual.

I think a lot of sexual interest is probably far more normal than many Christians can accept.
