Patient's question:
If a young person has sex 3 to 5 times a week, the doctor wouldn't say it's high frequency, right? But why is it considered high frequency when it's the same "coming out," having sex once a week? Logically speaking, sexual activity consumes more calories, so why is just the movement of the upper arm and lower arm, which is merely a small movement, called frequent exercise? Extremely puzzled.Doctor's answer:
Hello: Masturbation, no matter how many times it occurs, is meaningless and offers no benefits!! The dangers and consequences of masturbation1. Masturbation is a severely damaging act to the body and spirit. It consumes "essence" (jīng), which is the life-giving source and blood-creating essence stored in the kidneys, connected to the marrow and brain marrow. Excessive consumption of essence can lead to marrow cavities, insufficient brain marrow, premature aging and early death. Extreme physical weakness is merely a secondary manifestation.
2. The human body is nourished by blood and qi, which come from food. 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 manifest as the loss of essence, and the excessive accumulation of this loss indicates 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 matters, one may either rush forward or retreat, lacking patience, perseverance, and the confidence and courage to succeed. All of these are the result of insufficient essence failing to transform into qi.
4. Masturbation also affects intelligence. Long-term masturbation can significantly impair memory and cognitive ability, with a noticeable decline in learning capacity and academic performance being the most obvious manifestation. This is due to insufficient essence failing to transform into qi, and insufficient qi failing to transform into spirit.
