If you know what I mean. Serious question.
Do you think they break the commandment and just ask for reconciliation?

No but seriously, as I understand it, those who commit to celibacy talk about it like it's a wonderfully personally fulfilling experience...
I wouldn't know, I never could abstain....![]()

There is no commandment against masturbation. So what reconciliation do they have to seek?

but it's a sin.
In fact, there is no place in scripture where masturbation is even mentioned, much less forbidden. This is a very odd situation since it is so common a human experience, and given that scripture speaks of other sexual sins (some fairly perverse and rare) without any shyness at all.
Since scripture does not forbid masturbation directly, neither should Christians in general. "Nothing beyond what is written" in terms of how we should help lead others to the Lord is the rule. But since you asked, or clicked, as the case may be, we will give you the best answer we can using what we do know from scripture as our guide. We should stick to emphasizing the things God has told us are important, and not be teaching things that the Lord has never expressed His opinion on.

trust me, it is. i went to a catholic middle school and high school. masturbation is regarded as being selfish.
Masturbation is perhaps one of the most debated?and least resolved?sexual subjects in the church. The views and opinions about masturbation, its effects, and consequences (especially spiritual) have been swirling through the church probably since it first began.
In reality, it can?t be clearly said that the act of masturbation is in itself a sin, for the Bible never uses the word, nor does it imply or hint about the act of masturbation. Obviously, the Bible deals in some depth with sexual immorality, perversions, and the like, but masturbation is never spelled out as belonging to any particular category. Since Scripture is silent about it, should masturbation be classified as a sin? And if not, are there ways in which masturbation may be used to the glory of God and the building of God?s Kingdom?

So your middle and high school teachers have a better idea of what qualifies as sin than the indirect author of the Bible? That would God just in case I'm going too fast. Somehow, I have a hard time buying that one.
