Something interesting... Masturbation and Ayurveda

Alright, so I have a friend who has been getting really into Ayurvedic stuff lately (For those who don't know, Ayurveda is basically an ancient Indian system of health care and healthy living), and in many Ayurvedic teachings they refer to a thing called "Ojas" which is basically everyone's life energy and it constitutes mostly in one's reproductive cells.

Now, most Ayurvedic says that one should practically never masturbate, especially teenagers, because they are still in their development stages of life. The reason behind this is because when you masturbate, you lose Ojas, thus become more tired or "lazy", not as focused and in a sense losing your life energy, and you desensitize yourself or get a false view of sex (or something like that). I'm just quoting from what I remember my friend telling me, so forgive me if it's not exact.

Anyway, I was just wondering what everyone's views on this are?

 

It's not healthy to abstain from ejaculation if you don't know proper energy movement techniques. (See: Kundalini yoga)

This ayurvedic stuff works great if you are living in india pre-modern civilization.

You gotta find out what works for you in this . . "real" world.
