I probably masturbate once every day or 2. I'm 23 and still a virgin. 

"Though you would never know it because you never went without masturbation or sex for a prolonged period"

You're making an assumption that isn't true. Do you know what they say about assumptions? I tried it. It was annoying. I don't see a benefit. Again, we will have to agree to disagree.

You describe it as annoying which is very often description about the first time you face withdrawal symptoms. It's easy to escape reality once in a while and replace it with passive forms of entertaiment to let the stress go away for a moment. This is the best solution for most of the people every day, even tho there are so much activities to enjoy instead. Sadly, most of us don't remember what kind of people they used to be before they hit puberty and switched to digital drugs of porn industry and self-pleasure activities. I'm not saying thats the only problem but it makes it less clear what are the real problems. However, so called "brain fog" goes away very slowly during reboot so it's easier to quit out of frustration than continue rewiring. It's all normal, do what you feel is the best for you.

Sorry, but I feel like there are hundreds of things that are a bigger priority in my life right now.

It can drain your life-force energy, but no-fappers who abstain for months aren't doing anything good either since you can get something which is called 'jing stagnation' in Qigong. According to Taoism, a man should ejaculate a certain amount based on his age and constitution: they say in your teens and twenties once every 4 days, thirties once every 8 days, forties once every 16 days, fifties once every 21 days and sixties+ once every 30 days. This varies though depending on the tradition and the constitution of the man in question.

That's just ejaculation though. You also want to ensure that you're not generating particularly negative feelings from whatever porn you use.

You are right, im 35 yo, masturbate every 7 days and im great. But always try to do it in weekends because I have a physical job and hit the gym, if I fap in the middle of the week I'm literally dead. It drains life energy a lot, its a real fact.

Let me tell you a story.

The Awakened One does not make assumptions. The Awakened one has Evolved from the Sleeping Self that only sees as far as he is.

He Knows ALL and Sees ALL perfectly of the old  way/self/selves.

A 3D world understands fully a 2D world, A 2D world does not even know of a 3D to begin to understand.

Ultimately, there are no right or wrongs but the fact that it disturbed your peace indicates denial of truth behind the matter itself.

Never confuse Natural with good or bad, Natural always comes first.

This will make sense as you evolve.
All the best

@Ingit It's a total waste of energy alright. But if you are talking about spirituality, one should first be able to harness the energy for spiritual/energetic purposes to begin with for it to matter.

What is your direct experience? Do you feel energy drained after masturbation? Or do you feel invigorated? Or the same energy level?
