There are abundant articles, books, websites, and other resources recommending masturbation to teens and adults. Experts line up to support masturbation. Then, why are so many people still uncomfortable with the notion? Why do so many feel guilt and shame about masturbating? Why is masturbation kept so secret, if the “experts” say it is “ok”? Perhaps it is because in your heart you already know it is wrong, but cannot figure out the reason.

Guilt and Shame

It is likely that many of the people who search the internet for "masturbation" are trying to resolve the conflicting feelings that have about the act. In spite of the advice of parents, teachers, doctors, and even priests, that nagging feeling of guilt (which makes people keep the act secret) won't go away, and even after masturbating, there is a feeling of shame or remorse, often accompanied by a resolve to never repeat the act. Then, the next day the desire arises again, and the conflict with it. What to do?

Religious leaders rarely help. Preying on these feelings in order to advance their own dogmas, they generally take advantage of the suffering soul in order to bring them into the church, or re-enforce religious guilt. Yet, this does nothing to address the sexual conflict. Furthermore, scriptures are so veiled and vague that even the priests cannot resolve what they say. Thus, even the spiritually devoted person rarely finds a clear answer in their religion, except to "believe" and repent.

Psychologists and doctors reject feelings of “shame” and “guilt,” claiming that these feelings are the residue of our parents misguided morals, or some kind of subconscious psychological inheritance that has no merit. Yet, by simple analysis, we can see that the same feelings of guilt and shame accompany other actions, such as stealing or lying, and yet no experts would dare to discredit the emotions in these cases. So, what is the difference? Perhaps it is that the supposed experts are also masturbating, and they would not dare to say that what they are doing is wrong. Or, they value their career, and do not dare go against the “established medical knowledge.”

What Science and Medicine Say about Masturbation

For several decades now, we have heard the doctors and scientists assembling test studies and “scientific opinions” about the supposed benefits of masturbation, yet in every case they lack a serious control group: a set of people who do NOT masturbate, and who know how to transmute their sexual energy. Therefore, modern doctors, psychologists, and scientists are not utilizing the scientific method they are supposed to represent. Furthermore, while their have been thousands of tests and studies of masturbators, there have only been a few focused on non-masturbators, and to our knowledge, none focused on those who do not masturbate and who know how to transmute their sexual energy.

Oddly, many doctors and psychologist go so far as to claim that NOT masturbating is harmful to your health and can result in serious psychological and physical problems. How can any doctor or psychologist make such claims, when none of them have any science to back it up? Has your doctor abandoned his habit of masturbation and worked with scientific transmutation? The fact is that there is scientific evidence showing that retention of the sexual energy is beneficial both physiologically and physically. Take a look at this report.

We would agree that avoidance of masturbation could be harmful IF sexual transmutation is also avoided. It is easy to see that mere repression of the sexual force is extremely damaging to the mind. One need only observe the grotesque crimes of Catholic priests against each other and small children. Stated simply: sexual repression is harmful. True chastity is not repression, it is transformation. The Catholic Church forgot about that many centuries ago, and that is why they have had so many problems (including the Spanish Inquisition, which was fueled by sexual repression).

How to Quit Masturbating

Perhaps you have attempted to listen to your guilt and shame about masturbation, and made the effort to quit the habit. Inevitably, you find yourself drawn back into it, because the sexual power is so intense and you have no alternative. Yet, an alternative exists, but it has been ridiculed, rejected, and laughed at, precisely by the so-called experts who are secretly addicted to sexual vices.

Scientific chastity is an ancient wisdom that is older than the pyramids. Throughout all religions, sexual purity has always been the requisite for higher knowledge. The vice of masturbation exhausts the body of its vital energy, depletes the endocrine system of hormones and other essential elements, and deprives the brain and heart of the very force of life. (Scientists do not know about this, because they do not bother to investigate). Yet, the person who retains and transforms their sexual energy enlivens their entire being. By withholding the sexual energy and transforming it within, a new way of life emerges.

Many of the greatest figures in our history knew and practiced sexual transmutation: Jesus, Buddha, Moses, Thoreau, Lao Tzu, Confucius, Gandhi, the Dalai Lama, St. Paul, and many more. Let us be clear however: sexual transmutation is NOT rejection of sex. It is healthy sexuality.

The only way to become completely free from the burden of masturbation is to comprehend it in depth. Mere avoidance does not address the roots of why it exists in your mind. Likewise, indulgence does not lead to understanding. To understand it, one must learn how to see it for what it is. This requires sincerity and a great deal of courage.

Throughout our websites you will find abundant resources to aid you. We suggest that you follow your natural interests, and listen to your heart. After all, you already knew that masturbating was wrong. Perhaps you know more, if you listen.
