Masturbation is a very healthy form of sexual outlet, do not feel guilty about it. Nearly 99% of men and more than 60% of women masturbate. It starts from adolescence and goes on in some people even till death. The pleasure (orgasm) from masturbation is said to be unique from sexual intercourse. In men, most of the liquid contains only water and some fructose and hormones. Hence it does not drain your energy. Many equate masturbation/ seminal fluid loss to lack of energy, impotency and so on. Many quacks, religious heads and pseudo healers also propagate the idea that masturbation is a disorder/ and wrongful behavior and instill fear on the mind of innocent men and women (we can see posters in train and bus stand, offering help for this behavior). Consult a psychiatrist, if you have excessive masturbation guilt or compulsive masturbation. Compulsive masturbation is when a person continues with frequent masturbation neglecting his/ her other work like education, job or social obligations. In fact masturbation reduces the sexual tension and helps focus on task at hand better.

Masturbation is a completely natural, safe and healthy practice. It has nothing to do with weakness or anything, rather it is beneficial for your sexual health. It does not have any deleterious effect on your physical or mental health both it short or long term. Your weakness or pain could be due to any other reason other than masturbation. It is quite common to see that people who are apprehensive about masturbation and it's ill effects, actually found to be suffering from anxiety disorder. So it's in your best interest if you consult a psychiatrist in-person who can assess you in detail and advise accordingly.
