Will the body truly recover after quitting masturbation?

Yes—quitting masturbation will definitely result in noticeable physical recovery. After cessation, it is advisable to maintain a balanced diet and engage in appropriate physical exercise to accelerate recovery. Effective forms of physical activity include jogging, ball sports, and swimming, which also help divert attention constructively. Nutrition should be well-balanced: incorporate fresh vegetables and fruits, whole grains, and adequate protein and healthy fats—this supports faster bodily recovery.

Excessive masturbation poses significant health risks. “Excessive” generally refers to masturbating once daily or multiple times per day. Such frequency may contribute to numerous medical conditions—including epididymitis, orchitis, prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and kidney deficiency (a traditional Chinese medicine concept reflecting systemic depletion). Therefore, frequent masturbation should be avoided in daily life.

       Moreover, excessive masturbation can become habit-forming or even addictive, potentially leading individuals to develop an obsessive preoccupation with it—negatively impacting work performance, academic achievement, and overall quality of life. Thus, it is strongly recommended to discontinue frequent masturbation.
