Answer
This is the first impediment at the start of practice. The body & Ego which are used to a life of unwarranted sexual release, pull the aspirant back into downfall, every time he tries to come out of the trap. Masturbation is the first step to degradation. He who spills his seed degenerates without doubt, while he who retains & transmutes it shines in the brightness and luster of the Atman (self), like a star, eventually achieving all that is due and going to the state beyond sorrow, forever.
One should firm up the mind and take up the suggested Sadhana, with determination to achieve unbroken Brahmacharya forever.
Strive as suggested, carefully applying each and every method detailed in past answers. In the course of time, with consistent efforts and Sadhana, the goal will be attained.
