I was in the WTS web site and decided to see what their search engine would do for me. So, I plugged in the words "masturbation" and then "masturbate" in hopes of finding the famous 1973 WT article that dealt with the topic. It returned no results. So, I plugged in the term "self abuse" since I recall that the WTS seems to prefer that term most often. The following were the articles that matched that search. I am rather surprised that so many diverse articles would contain some thought on self abuse aka masturbation I did not read the articles yet, but I found the titles a little amusing considering that they contain something supposedly relevant to masturbation. After each title I thought of adding some of my own notes, but decided that the titles speak for themselves:

The reason for this search was that Farkel published a humorous reply to the 1973 WTS. I thought I had Farkel's article saved. I guess I will have to dig into my old boxes and find the original and try to find a hard copy of Farkel's article. It is worth the read. - Amazing
