1:18So the Torah tells us that not only should you obviously not waste seed, but you should put protective measures in place. This means, simply, don't even touch it. So, when you have to urinate, you should use creative ways, whether it’s with a towel or some type of tissue. Literally, don't touch your skin in that area of your body.

Because you're supposed to separate the lower half from the upper half. To never have any connection. Don't be comfortable with the lower half of your body. Use it only under specific, specific circumstances. Other than that, don't even look. You're supposed to teach your kids not to look there, even. You yourself are not supposed to even look. Why? Don't be comfortable. Yeah, but it's my body. Exactly. It's my body. Exactly. Exactly. Don't be comfortable. This is if you want to be Kadosh. You want to be holy.
