In case you haven't realized it yet, there is nothing wrong with masturbation. Those who understand sexuality understand that in having a good relationship with their own body, they can experience greater pleasure during sex with another person. It does not matter if you use fantasy, visual stimulation or no imagery at all. It only matters that you understand that you have the ability to give yourself pleasure. There is great symbolism in this because it is an act of self love.

If you enjoy pornography then it is important to be careful that you do not have subconscious guilt. It is important to realize that we are socialized to believe that every woman in an adult film is drugged and raped-which is not the case. One core spiritual concept that will liberate you and everyone around you is the realization that there are no victims. Pornography may be an enjoyable way to learn about various forms of sexuality you may not have yet envisioned, allowing you to explore what excites you.

How much masturbation is too much? How little is too little? The answer to this is parallel to that which I've addressed regarding the frequency of sex. It's important to simply clear your mind and listen to your guidance...then do that which feels congruent. Given the amount of tension and frustration that most people walk around with, it's probable that you are not having enough orgasms. If you feel satiated, then congratulations... you're a rare bird who is obviously willing to nurture yourself.
