(69) Between Halacha and Reality: Addressing Masturbation and Pornography with Orthodox Teenage Boys
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. To download a free copy of Dr. Jacobson's booklet, Light in the Darkness: Torani Psychological Perspectives on Shmirat HaBrit, go to drdanjacobson.com.
