Is it forbidden for single young people to talk about sexual matters and vent their sexual concerns, as long as it does not involve insults, slandering, or specifying a particular person, and aims only to quell sexual urges through conversation?
Speaking with young men about matters of lust can lead to evils and sins, such as wishing to commit immoral acts, thinking about the beauty of women, or masturbation, all of which are forbidden. The legitimate means to quench desire are marriage or fasting. A servant of Allah should turn their heart away from thinking about sexual matters and occupy their time with beneficial knowledge, righteous deeds, permissible sports, or purposeful stories such as the biographies of prophets and the righteous predecessors, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him speak good or remain silent."
