Doctor's answer:

Hello:
According to the situation you described, it is best to actively avoid masturbation!
Masturbation is a behavior that severely damages both the body and the spirit. The "essence" consumed by masturbation is the life-giving foundation and blood-creating source stored in the kidneys, which are connected 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 symptom.
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 use. If less is consumed and more is saved, it is the guarantee of longevity and health; if more is consumed and less is saved, it is the prelude to aging and a short life. Both masturbation and sexual activity deplete essence, and the excessive accumulation of this depletion means 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, hesitation, irritability, and suspicion and fear. When facing challenges, one may either act rashly or withdraw, lacking patience, perseverance, and the confidence and courage to succeed. 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 abilities, 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.
