Hi,

I read your query in detail and can understand your concerns regarding masturbation. You seem to have developed guilt due to masturbation. However, masturbation is a normal physiological process. It causes no harm provided you take care of sanitation and hygiene. even in females. It doesn't cause any kind of mental, physical or sexual weakness. I understand people don't talk about it in open and religion considers it a taboo, but reality is otherwise.

This is something you should stop worrying about. As I mentioned it, it is physiological need and you can very well continue doing it as you please without worrying about what others think about it. You just have to overcome your guilt associated with it.

Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes.
