Summary of Question:	Is Masturbation Really That Bad?

Date Posted:	Tuesday, 10/31/2000 3:14 AM MDT

I have visited a series of websites now that all say that there is absolutely nothing medically wrong with masturbation.

It relieves sexual stress and is actually good for you.

Like watching horror movies, it lets you perform an action without taking it too far.

Is there actual evidence that you can point me to that proves what you're saying about it?

Is there actual evidence that this has been an outlawed practice for Sikhs?

Masturbation is not recommended for people like Sikhs and other high aspiring individuals. Khalsa is willing to hold on to their juices for optimum human and spiritual excellance. If you want to relax; exercise, sweat and then meditate, you will get a lot more self esteem and reward.

I would suggest that you read the long essay written on "masturbation" in the Youth forum. It should answer all your questions.

If having sex whenever and with whomever it is available is what the morals of this country suggest....then it is not surprising that you can find information that masturbation is desirable in this same reference. You can always find support for a theory whether it is true or not.
