Is masturbation healthy in sikhism?

[mahandulai]

Hi all,

Masturbation is healthy every week or so, I think, and reduces prostate cancer, so how do Sikhs view this, because I was always taught it was wrong, but surely the scientific health benefit is more important?

Maybe, similar to sex, which also releases good hormones in the, but also banned by people I know. If it does in moderation and lovingly, then is it alright, with God's kirpa?

I do the complete opposite of "lovingly" ahahhaha! lol joke 

I don't think there is any wrong in doing it once in a while!  i think one should work around their feelings/urges rather than go against them! But if you can stop and control/conquer those urges then thats good. If you end up trying to suppress your feelings then you end up with this little battle going on inside you and you won't be able to concentrate on anything else, so its healthy to release all that, and then you can concentrate again. But if you can control it and completely stop without it then thats even better. Better to work around it than against it. 

many sects of Christians are prohibited from using contraception and are only allowed to have sex for procreation, that is completely going against the way us humans are and think, its such a powerful force and to suppress it is mad! now we know why there are so many cases of catholic priests raping nuns!

I am a 15 year old boy with hormones kickin. Heres the thing that is stopping me from doing what you said. I searched this topic on other websites and they say that masturbation should be avoided since it “indulges lust.” And they say it is kaam and kaam is a sin. But i think that doing it to release those sexual feelings is ok, but i don't do it. I like masturbating because it gives me pleasure but everyone says its wrong for Sikhs to do. Since everyone says its wrong i stopped doing it, but i still want to do it. Is masturbation right or wrong for Sikhs to do? Also i feel like its hard to control sexual urges since that energy is trapped in you because I can’t release it because I can’t masturbate. Are males that aren't married allowed to look at other women in a attractive way, in a hot way?
