Question
It is written that one who experiences an emission on Yom Kippur should worry all year because it shows that his repentance was not accepted due to the deprivation of marital relations. Does this also apply to an unmarried young man who is not abstaining from marital relations, or is it considered accidental for a young man, and what is the source for this?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
This applies also to a young man.
See Rashi Yoma 88. Worry all year - perhaps his fast was not accepted, and they punished him with what they have to punish him, like a servant who serves a cup to his master and spills it on his face.
