Masturbation Is Harmful - #5534

Anonymous

I’ve been hearing mixed opinions about whether masturbation is harmful or not. Some people say it’s completely normal and even healthy, while others claim that masturbation is harmful to your physical and mental health. I’m confused because I’ve noticed feeling tired and sometimes guilty afterward. Could it really be true that masturbation is harmful? Lately, I’ve started feeling that my energy levels are lower, and I’m wondering if it’s connected. Does masturbation affect things like concentration or stamina in the long term? I read online that excessive masturbation might lead to issues like weakness or even problems with fertility. Is there any truth to this, or are these just myths? If masturbation is harmful, what can someone do to reduce its frequency? Are there Ayurvedic remedies or practices to help control the urge? I’ve heard about Brahmacharya in Ayurveda, but I don’t know how to apply it in real life. Can yoga or meditation help with this? I’d like to hear from anyone who has felt that masturbation is harmful and found ways to deal with it. Are there any signs that show when it’s becoming an actual problem? And how do you draw the line between normal habits and something that might need attention?

Masturbation, in moderation, is generally considered a normal and natural part of human sexuality and can be healthy for both physical and mental well-being. However, if it leads to feelings of guilt, fatigue, or a noticeable drop in energy levels, it may indicate an imbalance in your lifestyle or mental health. In Ayurveda, excessive indulgence in any activity, including sexual habits, can lead to depletion of vital energy (Ojas), resulting in weakness, lack of focus, and reduced stamina. Brahmacharya, or moderation in sensual activities, is recommended in Ayurveda to maintain balance and conserve energy. Practices like yoga, meditation, and mindfulness can help reduce the urge and restore mental clarity by calming the mind and focusing on inner energy. If masturbation is interfering with daily life, work, relationships, or health, it may be helpful to seek guidance from an Ayurvedic practitioner or counselor to address any underlying emotional or psychological issues. Regular meditation, physical exercise, and a balanced lifestyle can help manage this habit and improve overall vitality.
