Write what You think, is this energetically healthy? what are the effects to consciousness? any mind/thought ability expansion or restriction? just a few questions to direct your thoughts. Thanks
I don't think it needs to be thought about that deeply. It is a natural act; one which Homo sapiens have been doing since the dawn of time. Like everything else, too much of it is a bad thing. I'm of the opinion that any more than 2-3 times a week is a bad thing. Everybody will be different, though.
Masturbation is awesome. It's like sex without all of the crippling humiliation and self-loathing afterward. Yup, masturbation's got it all.
Masturbation is probably fine. Pornography isn't. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSF82AwSDiU]TEDxGlasgow - Gary Wilson - The Great Porn Experiment - YouTube[/ame]
In its general usage, it's fine...something you do, pleasurable, therefore 'good' enough... It can be used in very good ways, though, in terms of consciousness and energy. You can use it to learn to control the energies in your body, as well as to assist entering into higher states of consciousness.

Masturbation, more specifically in men, has quite great hinderances on ones spiritual evolution. When one has sex, there is at least an exchange of energy and at that the maximum is 2-4x a month, 4 only if you know the proper herbs and meditations to restore the seminal energy that is directly responsible for how much power the kundalini has, and how able it is to rise up the spine to attain to higher states. At 4x a month without the proper herbs/meditations you will progress at 4/5ths the intended rate, 6x a month and you are down to 2/3-3/5 the rate you should progress, anymore and it becomes essentially impossible to achieve Gnosis/Samadhi in one lifetime. These are the figures for sex where energy is exchanged, the figures double with masturbation, so that 2x a month masturbation is the equivalent of wasting the energy of 4 sexual encounters. Spiritual evolution is about liberating yourself from the chains of the world and it's desires and entering into the Divine Bliss that is Union with God. It goes without saying that behaving in a worldly manner isn't how one goes about doing that lol. You can try this experiment yourself. Masturbate daily for a week and do concentration and imagination exercises. Then don't masturbate at all for a week and do them. See what occurs yourself, don't just go by my word.

I think i've read that its actually more harmful to NOT do it. If you're into occultic beliefs they say that orgasm is really great for rituals and such as it releases a lot of energy. If you believe in that stuff, anyway.
Fair enough. I'd say that it's a slippery slope. Most people can't tell that they're addicted or they lie to themselves about their addiction.
Plus, there are techniques to learn to masturbate, or have sex for that matter, without cumming. You can still achieve orgasm, in fact. Also, if you can do this, you can learn to trasnmute that energy into not-entirely-sexual energy, filter it through your body, maintain it, etc.
What's your opinions on karezza, Tris and thejourney? I apologize, but I can't seem to find a direct link explaining what it is exactly.
It is a slippery slope, and honestly, everybody is best off not watching porn. It's really not good for our brains at all, as that video you linked to talked about. I was posting that video for months and nobody would watch it haha. Nobody wants to be told that their multiple-times-a-day porn and jerk-off habit is unhealthy, but then they want to wonder why they can't find a mate

I certainly don't care man. I'm not gonna act like I don't jerk off (it's rare nowadays, though). There is just plenty of science to show that an every day, multiple-times-per-day masturbation habit is detrimental, and gets much more detrimental when it is coupled with porn. Most everybody in this section lauds the virtues of science, except when it comes to sexual topics
