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.
