"Guess what kids...it's hard, it'll make you crazy, but I know many people who have made the change and stopped, and it's only a few month process." 

Josh: My question is about masturbation...

Rabbi Mendy Chitrik: And the question is?

Josh: Why is it bad, and how can G-d want us not to do it, if it's something a person cannot control? And isn't there a concept that G-d does not give a person a test he can not overcome?

Rabbi Mendy Chitrik: A person CAN actually control himself.

Josh: But only to a point. I strongly doubt there is any person-no matter how great-who can say that he never did it.

Rabbi Mendy Chitrik: He can control his reading choices, he can control his eyes, and that will also control his desires.

Josh: I will agree that a person can try to limit it, and push it away as much as possible, but I know for a fact that it is impossible to totally abstain from.

Rabbi Mendy Chitrik: But the power that a man has in his sex drive is not just enjoyment--it is a great part of his spiritual connection with G-d.

Josh: what do you mean?

Rabbi Mendy Chitrik: The power to procreate, to bring up yet another generation, is the greatest power G-d has bestowed upon a human being.

Josh: Right.

Rabbi Mendy Chitrik: By this power one connects to G-dliness, he becomes an integral part of the Creator Himself. That is why it is so prohibited-because one is wasting the power that G-d gave him. He throws away the connection of G-d in vain, similar to the biblical prohibition of uttering G-d's Name in vain.

Like anything, we humans are easily addicted to behaviors, the more we take, the more we need. Cut it off completely, and though you will be unsteady for a little bit (like a smoker who recently quits) but afterwards you will feel like you just burned off a cancer of your soul.

It's a freeing experience and worth the trouble, and ANYONE can do it, believe me.

Ok, so it's a little embarrassidng to talk about, but tip! The more it is talked about the more control I feel I have over a bad habit. I'm in that few month process now and I feel so strong doing it. And let no one say it is masculine to masturbate, because taking control (giving Hashem control) of your life is the most masculine thing a man can do. Someday my children will have great blessing because I handed my habit over to Hashem. Also remember that masturbation has the potential to lead into other sexual sins. And that is one of the factors that makes it so bad.
