I'm curious about how masturbation affects both my body and mind, whether it's done occasionally or frequently. I'm wondering about the benefits and drawbacks because I feel like it might be making me lazy. What are your thoughts?

Masturbation, whether occasional or frequent, is generally a normal activity and can have both positive and negative effects. Occasional masturbation can reduce stress and help with relaxation, but frequent or compulsive behavior may lead to feelings of fatigue, distraction, or affect motivation. If you feel it's impacting your energy levels or daily life, it might be helpful to assess your habits and consider moderation.
