What to do when the sexologist recommends you to masturbate?

Question:

One of my brother of faith, who is 60 years old and who was left by his wife asked, “What should I do if the Sexologist recommended me to masturbate once a week to maintain the sexual functions of the body? What does the Bible say about this?

Masturbation is a sin and I recommend you to read some articles in which I explained this:

• About the sin of masturbation
• Why some people can not be delivered from the sin of masturbation?
• How to escape the sin of masturbation?

If the man you wrote about lives alone and has sexual desires at this age, the solution is either to refrain himself or to marry and not to masturbate.
