It's clear from past questions on here that various religions prohibit masturbation and view it as a sin. I have a friend of the family who is a sex counselor, and when males come in with problems of ED or premature problems, the treatment for them is regular masturbation, and it is an extremely effective treatment, more so then medicines. Also he says there are benefits for prostate health and other reasons. Anyways, is masturbation being used this way still a sin in the eyes of religion? Are you not helping someone with their problem...a Christlike gesture if you look at it in that way I'd think.
