Doctor's answer:

Hello: The Dangers and Consequences of Masturbation
1. Masturbation is a severely damaging act to the body and spirit. It consumes "essence," which is the life-giving foundation and source of blood production, stored in the kidneys that connect to the marrow and brain marrow. Excessive consumption of essence can lead to hollow marrow, insufficient brain marrow, premature aging and early death, with extreme physical weakness being a secondary manifestation.
2. The human body is nourished by blood and qi, which come from diet. Unconsumed blood and qi transform into essence during deep sleep and are stored in the kidneys, sealed within the bones for future needs. If consumption is low and savings are high, it is the guarantee of longevity and health; if consumption is high and savings are low, it is the prelude to aging and a short life. Both masturbation and sexual activity deplete essence, and the excessive accumulation of this depletion signifies a decline in quality of life and an early end to the life journey.
3. Masturbation not only damages the body's vitality but also harms the mind, causing mental fatigue, weak willpower, indecisiveness, procrastination, irritability, and suspicion and fear. When facing situations, one may either rush forward or retreat, lacking patience, perseverance, and confidence in victory and courage. All of these are the results of insufficient essence failing to transform into qi.
4. Masturbation also affects intelligence. Long-term masturbation significantly damages memory and thinking ability, with a lack of motivation in learning and a rapid decline in academic performance being the most obvious manifestations. This is the result of insufficient essence failing to transform into qi, and insufficient qi failing to transform into spirit.
5. The uncontrolled and rampant nature of masturbation is related to the misguidance of Western medical theories. It is linked to middle school physiology and hygiene education.
