Disclaimer: Nothing is ALLWAYS or NEVER..I am speaking in generalities-
I loved your post. Especially the first few paragraphs about sex and marriage. I am always saying that and I am not even married yet lol.

Unless I read it wrong, you basically said that a doctor and a youth pastor convinced you that touching yourself was not a sin, so you kept doing it.
I defiantly do not want to derail the topic but how can MB be a sin if you don't lust while doing it? Because at that point your just pleasuring yourself. See below for more...

And yes, you should have stuck to it no matter how much pain it was. Steven took stones against his body for the sake of God. Paul said he treats his body like a slave (1 Corinthians 9:27) instead of giving in to it's sinful fleshly desires.
This verse I noticed gets used on anyone who does anything that brings them happiness, more so when the person using the verse finds what someone else is doing to be wrong just because they themselves don't find pleasure in it.

Because if that verse is correct then why do we have the internet? Isn't using it a fleshy desire? What about seeing movies, driving, owning a home...etc. All this stuff brings pleasure to us.

Now I can understand if some masturbates like a dozen times a day because at that point you not only made an idol of it but you are giving into that desire constantly instead of finding your joy anywhere else (like with God). I MB every week or two. Its not my desire or pleasure, I mean yes its a temporary joyful thing but my life does not live around it. Just as I get temporary pleasure from eating Chipotles (its so good lol).

You will not be disappointed for waiting. However, if there is even a chance that you are getting married just so you can have sex, please go into earnest prayer about the issue. There are no fornicators in The Kingdom of Heaven nor idoltoers nor drunkards nor adulteres. My wife and I will be married for 44 years this upcoming June. Marriage is difficult in this world without seriously complicating it with lust outside of your spouse. I’m confident that the majority of young professing Christian men have battled lust in their lives. Hang on and try to pray without ceasing and seek God The Father with all that you have. In the day of your visitation when Christ will come as a thief in the night, you will get a taste of perfect clarity on The Word of God. Without Christ protecting you from this world and protecting you from yourself, you could not stand. The first use of The Word “Visitation” can be found in The KJV Bible at Numbers 16:29. You must also go through The Refiners Fire which can be found in Malachi 3:1-3. Also, you might pray about reading Revelations 2:27 also in the KJV Bible. Please find 1 Corinthians 15:24-28.

Isa.11
  1. [3] And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
