Is it safe

Is it safe for my mental health to stop masturbating. I am so tired. Surpress it or let it out. What Freud did to me? Good or Bad?

I hav often wondered the answer to this, as no one really knows. All I know is I don’t becus in the past it made me depressed. I hope there’s no long term consequences of this

I think it’s safe to not do it? When I was a teen, I went about six months without doing it (for spiritual reasons and others) and did pretty well. There’s nothing wrong with giving in, though, imo.

It’s complicated. It’s not easy to stop a biological process with cultural overtones. If you managed to stop, then nothing would really happen. Sperm will find a way out with nocturnal emissions and likely end up in your urine, and the cramps in your right hand (or left) will improve significantly, but you may not sleep as well.

Despite many long-promoted fears and ideas that masturbating is unhealthy, for men or women, there is no evidence to support that this is true. If drive is not expressed and this interferes with your judgment and respect for the rights and interests of others, then not masturbating can end up very harmful to yourself and others.
