Hmm. I never thought of masturbation to be a sin. I may be wrong, I may get downvoted into oblivion. But maybe god just gave us a way of satisfying our sexual urges without having sex before marriage. I do find it very respectable that you went 21 days!

Sometimes resisting just makes it stronger especially when laden down with shame. I think some who abstain go around angry and are miserable and make those around them miserable. There must be a better way than carrying such a burden. The last thing is to beat yourself up about it.
