Ocdperson 3 Report post Posted January 20 So as a teenager, hormones are in full effect. And I’m not going to act like there aren’t beautiful girls around the world I feel attracted to. I am confused on masturbation, is it fine to do in Sikhism? I know that the main problem everyone has with masturbation is Lust. And from seeing different opinions from people, I am confused. Lust is the bad part because it makes you forget Naam. But doesn’t watching YouTube or a movie make you technically forget Naam too? The first thing I do in the morning is to pray to God and talk with God. Everyday I feel like I remember God and Naam. So I am confused on what is bad about masturbation done moderately. If forgetting Naam is a reason, don’t I do the same thing when watching tv or playing a sport or when I’m in school? Say this, If I daily pray and talk with God and remember God, is it bad for me to masturbate moderately to attractive girls in Sikhism? Because I feel like I remember God everyday. People say The bad part of Lust is forgetting Naam but I am confused, aren’t I technically forgetting Naam while doing things that take my full attention for example like school, sports, movies. Can I balance my sexual life and my religious within Sikhism? I mean no disrespect, just curious. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaurr 480 Report post Posted January 20 Simple answer, No. Whilst doing other things, like playing sport, you can remember waheguru. But when you're masturbating, you're lost in kaam, which means you can't remember waheguru. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dharamyudh 241 Report post Posted January 20 Don't get into it, like seriously. Manage and learn to control yourself before you end up like the rest of these guys hooked on pornography and masturbation. In all honesty, it is a trap that will put you in an endless cycle of gandh. 6 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But don’t you forget Naam while taking a test in school or watching a movie because both those things draw full attention.

No disrespect just curious Well done brother for asking about this, it takes confidence to talk about this. Kaam is required for god’s creation to flourish. Attraction between male & female = off-spring Guru Nanak Ji gave a really simple & powerful teaching how to control the mind; Look on others (women) good. View elders as mothers, equal age as sisters, youngers as daughters Getting attached with kaam is indeed bad; he kaamang, narak bisraamang ~ oh kaam, you drag people (who get attached with you) to hell It’s energy from base chakar called mhuladhara, it’s too powerful to fight. If energy builds up it needs to ‘be released’ - fine do it. Exercise & sports will release built up energy too and good stress relief. Ultimately Naam Simran takes you beyond kaam pleasures. Basically don’t get addicted to it, keep on praying, keep good sangat 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean grandparents generation they used to just marry you off as a teenager and then you didn't need to do all this stuff. Guru ji said go into grihast jeevan, live the life of a householder. Please - it is not my fault we have taken a western lifestyle and are marrying late, leaving us vulnerable to 5 vikaar! Please excuse me.... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
