In the past, masturbation was called "onanism" and was considered a shameful and despicable act. However, masturbation is an impulse and habit common to all human beings, men and women of all ages, and masturbation itself is not harmful. There is no difference in upbringing between those who masturbate and those who do not. On the contrary, it is clear that fearing masturbation as harmful is harmful to health and psychology.
