How to Do Masturbation the Right Way Without Causing Health Issues? - #15527
This might be a weird question, but I’ve been wondering about this for a while. I’ve been masturbating since my teenage years, but lately, I’ve been feeling guilty about it, especially after hearing so many mixed opinions. Some people say it’s completely natural, while others claim it causes health problems like fatigue, weakness, or even sexual dysfunction. Now I don’t know what to believe. I usually masturbate a few times a week, but sometimes, if I’m really stressed, it can be more. I don’t feel like it’s affecting my daily life, but I have noticed some things—sometimes I feel super tired afterward, and other times I get this weird headache. Is this normal? Could it mean I’m doing something wrong? I also heard that in Ayurveda, excessive masturbation is said to cause a loss of vital energy (Ojas). I don’t fully understand this, but it got me thinking—does masturbation actually affect overall health and energy levels? And if it does, is there a "right way" to do it so it doesn’t cause harm? Are there Ayurvedic practices to balance energy levels if someone feels drained after? I’d love to hear any insights on this, especially from an Ayurvedic perspective. I’m not looking to stop, just want to know if there’s a way to make sure I’m not harming myself in the long run.
