> masturbation damages my link to the Holy Spirit
Well said. I realized that only recently. There were only three 20+ day streaks in my life. In two of them I found girlfriends for long term relationships. In the last one I found God. Well, He found me, actually. And by that sin, that cry of lust which many Orthodox saints consider the hardest to overcome, I lost my link. And now I have to find it again. I have to seek God.
