Yes, and if you want to have a 'wank', no one's stopping you. But like I was warning, everything is innocent at first isnt it? You buy a cute little pet alligator and keep feeding it and next thing you know, it's a huge alligator with a big appetite. Almost all sins start out innocently enough, we should all know better, but it is your discretion to know when you have took things too far. When I was smoking cigarettes, it was the way it started and wasn't easy quitting.
But the less you do it, the less you will want it. Do an expirement for yourself if you don't believe me. But also remember to stay away from anything that brings on the feelings. And I think you will feel much cleaner, or wholesome, if you do. And your mind more at peace. And smoking was the same for me also, the more I smoked, the more I wanted, my habit grew. But the right way isn't the natural way, stretched. If you naturally feel like hurting someone, does it mean it's right? The natural way is just the way to protect the lawless and selfish. It tells you to procreate at will, defend at will, eat at will, all this, etc. But reasoning protects the lawful, those that do care of others and self also. That someone else is just as good as you and that even something as innocent as masturbation can lead to a habit which not only winds up hurting you but could hurt others also if you crave it too much and use no reasoning. Sometimes it's the small things like this I wonder morally about which I don't see in holy texts so I find out for myself using what God gave me to find God. And it seems to never let me down. The only time it does is if my mind is tainted with too much emotion so I try to keep my feelings level.
