    You probably will not like my advice... but here it goes.   Break up with him and they stay far far away from him.
     
    I am sure you are asking why and going to protest how much you love each other...  My response is do you love him more then the Lord?  You have tried and failed to be together without transgressing.  If you are truly repentant you will not be trying to figure out how close you and your boyfriend can be without crossing the line...  You would be trying to get as far from the line as you can.  Flee like Joseph fled Poitier's wife... Pluck him out of your life, as the Lord commands when he talks about your eye or hand offending you.
     
    You are both young (pre-mission presumably for you as well) there are other people out there you can date and get to know when the time is right, stay away from the habit of sin the two of you have developed together.

    I stand corrected, while masturbation is not mentioned in handbook 1 self-abuse is:
     
     6.7.1 When a Disciplinary Council Is Not Necessary A disciplinary council normally is not necessary in the following instances.
    Failure to Comply with Some Church Standards A disciplinary council should not be held to discipline or threaten members who do not comply with the Word of Wisdom, who are struggling with pornography or self-abuse, or whose transgressions consist of omissions, such as failure to pay tithing, inactivity in the Church, or inattention to Church duties.

    It would appear the answers are all over the map on this one.  On one hand there is a zero tolerance policy, and even one instance is sufficient for confession, and could even prevent someone from serving a mission if it were to happen close to the leave date.
     
    On the other hand, this falls onto the home repentance plan, and likely does not rise up to full confession status unless it is a problem/habitual.
     
    If an otherwise worthy member of the church confesses to the bishop that he/she has masturbated within the last month, and it probably happens 2-3 times a month what would be the consequence?  Would there even be one?  Could you lose your temple recommend? 
     
    Zero tolerance seems like an awful tough standard for a 18 year old young man..
