Patient's question:
Masturbation is harmful to health, so I plan to quit masturbation. I have been abstinent from masturbation for fifteen days. Does nocturnal emission count as breaking my vow?Doctor's answer:
This situation does not qualify as breaking a vow. It is normal for a person to experience occasional nocturnal emissions, and there is no need to worry. Nocturnal emissions are a relatively common physiological occurrence for men, typically happening about three times a month. Masturbation must be avoided at all costs. Continue to abstain from masturbation, exercise regularly, participate in outdoor activities more often, and try to divert your attention as much as possible. Avoid contact with stimulating substances and develop good living habits.
