Our Christian school teachers and church youth pastors taught us to run from all sexual sin, and that included solo sexual sin. I spent so much emotional energy feeling shame about masturbating. I prayed to stay strong and resist but always gave in to temptation. And then I felt so guilty. So I prayed that God would forgive me. It was a vicious cycle.
