Between Halacha and Reality: Addressing Masturbation and Pornography with Orthodox Teenage Boys Episode 69

How should Orthodox educators address masturbation with teenage boys—and what happens when the message is only about prohibition?

Dr. Dan Jacobson offers a thoughtful, experience-based approach that balances halacha, mental health, and the lived reality of adolescents, focusing on reducing shame, fostering responsibility, and speaking about sexuality in a healthier, more honest way.
