How To Overcome The Lingering Anxieties That Masturbation Is Evil?

I do not believe that masturbation is wrong but I was brought up in a religion that stressed the evil of masturbation and the certainty of hell for those who masturbate. How can I overcome the lingering anxieties even though I now know that masturbation is a perfectly normal and morally neutral part of most people's lives when done in moderation?

Dear
I understand your concern
Masturbation is no sin, and it is the requirement of the body upto one extent.
Body should get rid of its waste products and semen is a waste product.
Secondly, religions always provides stringent guidelines about habits which can harm our health.
These stringent guidelines are to safeguard you, not to torture you mentally.
Thirdly, moderate masturbation cannot cause you any body problem.
Fourthly, You fear god. Wrong.
We normally fear our enemies, not friends.
God is your friend, not enemy. Love him, adore him, be faithful to him.
But don't afraid of him.
Understand. Wish you good future.

Hi,

Thanks for using healthcare magic.

I have gone through your available history.

Masturbation is very normal process to relieve sexual excitement when done it when really sexually excited.

You can continuously counsel yourself regarding this without taking consideration from other persons.

You may also take help of sexologist or counselor for the same.

Thanks.
