Our Pathway to the Truth

This isn’t embarrassing at all, don’t be ashamed of your sexuality regardless of what others think or believe. Masturbating or any sexual energy directly relates to stimulating the kundalini energy, the arising chakras of our ethereal core body.

It DOES effect the root chakra on the physical level but sex is actually moreso connected to the sacral chakra, the chakra of creativity, feeling, emotion, elemental water, and basically the genitals. 
but masturbation is really recharging your energy, taking in the life force. the egyptians did this all the time through a process known as ankhing. 
I wrote a lot about kundalini, the effect sex has on society, etc. right here:

but long story short Nah Making love to the self is just stimulating your sacral chakra. Sex was created in the heavens, Religions overtook everything and made them ‘sinful’. Embracing Tantric sex even with the self is purely beautiful because you are channeling the life force energy. Nothing to be ashamed of or have to avoid because you’re on a spiritual path. :)
