On Motzei Shabat all the negative, not-good spiritual forces (that have been controlled by Hashem not to enter the world on Shabat) are freed to attempt make Am Yisrael do sins. One of the biggest sins that are the most desirable, especially in our age (teens, young adults), is the sin of wasting (seed) sperm. There are many arguments that go against the idea of preventing oneself from wasting sperm, such as scientists saying it is healthy to waste sperm and others. First of all, as we all know already from our Rabbis, books, the Torah itself, and many stories, the Torah and the reality of the world is that the Torah is above nature. Whenever it comes to nature vs. the Torah, the Torah will ALWAYS prevail. Therefore, I believe following the “advice” (its 100% a commandment) of G-d is much more suggested than some scientist, no matter how intelligient, because in the end of the day G-d is the one who created us. 

Another argument arises where one says “but the sperm cells die anyway, so why not just do it?” Here we can step a little deeper into the ideas of Nisyonot (spiritual tests). We can answer this argument that those specific sperm cells were only created in the body just for us to not waste them and have that challenge! Also it is the most selfish thing us men can do. When we waste sperm, we are killing (literally) potential babies. In books on this sin, and in general, the Kabbalah explains that these babies yell at their father after death on judgment day “Father, father, why did you not take care of us?” This is why the children at their father’s funeral (Lo Alenu, Chas VeShalom) do not walk after the father’s coffin, not to make the wasted sperm babies jealous of the live children.
A tip that we should all listen to (obviously me too): whenever we want to follow these urges or just do a specific sin (any sin, and not only this one), we should tell ourselves: I am about to do something that I know is COMPLETELY against Hashem.


B’H may we all have the zchut to enjoy Melave Malka and/or listen to a shiur to help push away these forces to try to push us down spiritually. Especially after Shabat Kodesh, we are on such a high level that Hashem gives us challenges to even pull us higher closer to him (after BH we overcome them). Also if G-d forbid one falls, ONLY AFTER the fall, one could tell himself: this happened just so I could pray to Hashem and get closer to him.
