So I'm just gonna share some thoughts with you, because this is something I've thought on as well. Discard freely.
I've recently thought that the sensation of feeling "horny" might be handled in a similar manner as Confederation sources say we should treat any desire. That is, to just look at it squarely without judgment, viewing it as a neutral fact rather than some driver to action. If we feel compelled to respond to a sensation with some action that is taken to relieve it, then we're in a pickle. If we can abide the sensation that causes us discomfort, if we can look at it, and size it up, and get the sense of it as a totality and perhaps far more than its incidental expression in our lives, and ultimately accept it, then we have more options. We even have the chance to understand the sensation itself as an energy event, and in that light it isn't such a horrible feeling. There's a lot of power in that energy, and it's worth understanding it as something other than a mere form of pressure buildup!
I don't think masturbation is "wrong" in any way, but I do think it can be a waste of red ray energy that could be channeled up further. Additionally, the imaginative aspect has the potential to lead to some pretty powerful thoughts that may get away from us and influence future patterns of thought. Again: these aren't bad things in an of themselves, like at all. But I think sometimes folks tend to have a lot of judgment of themselves on matters like this which energizes them as potent catalyst.
