[quote=B L Zeebub;450239]If so what sanctions are imposed.

Masturbation is a sin.

What do young male priests and young Nunns do to cope?

I would think they don't masturbate. Maybe some do but we all sin.

If you masterbated before taking the "cloth" (no pun intended) does that matter?

No people ask for forgiveness and God grants it, if we are truly sorry and repentive.
