I am an 18 year old male and I have masturbated. I have confessed this sin in The Sacrament of Reconciliation. However, the clothes that I have wore while committing this mortal sin, despite the fact that they may have been washed since, could still very much so still contain semen. Should I get rid of all theses items of clothing?
 
Dear friend,

There is nothing evil about semen in itself. Married men don’t throw their underwear away simply because they may have left some semen on it. To worry that the washer can’t wash out all the semen sounds a tad scrupulous to me.
