Masturbation itself is unlikely to directly affect stamina in a significant way. As you’ve noticed, its effects can vary each time. From a Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective, the practice could influence stamina related to underlying dosha imablances, particularly if there’s excessive frequency involved. Our system considers ojas, the essence of vitality, crucial for endurance, and over-indulgence in any activity, including masturbation, might deplete this energy reserve, particularly if it disrupts agni or digestive/metabolic fire.
However, the sensation of being drained post-masturbation might link more to your individual constitution, or prakriti. The balance of vata, pitta, and kapha doshas in your body influences your reactions to such activities. People with a predominant vata constitution, for instance, might feel more tired if the activity is excessive since it could aggravate vata and resultingly affect their vitality and continuation abilities.
To address this, pacing yourself by regulating frequency and ensuring it doesn’t interfere with rest and rest-designated times is vital. Prioritizing a balanced diet that strengthens dhatus (tissues) helps, focusing on nourishing foods like almonds soaked overnight, dairy, and dates to fortify ojas. Herbs such as ashwagandha and shatavari might support vitality when taken appropriately—considered beneficial when seeking balance.
Maintaining regular physical activity without pushing past your limits ensures stamina stays consistent, without over-taxation due to lifestyle activities. Aim to sync your rest cycles and workouts effectively. If your stamina inconsistency persists, reflect on other lifestyle aspects that could contribute and check in with a healthcare provider or experienced practitioner to tailor advice specific to your constitution.
