What Causes 13 Year Old To Have Lack Of Interest In Masturbation?

I am aware of a 13 year old boy who is developing well and into his
puberty but has a mental blockage about masturbation. He is adamant that he will never "do it" even after demonstrations by his friends. He describes the practice as "stupid"and wont be persuaded by argument that it is a quite normal and will not harm him. Does he have a problem ?
