Alright, so when it comes to masturbation, it seems like I think of it as part of this whole discussion about our relationship with sex and consciousness. It's one of those things that's been around forever—you know, battling the dragon as a metaphor in ancient texts. It's kind of like this thing that's natural but also gets wrapped up in all these societal and cultural narratives. It can be seen as an issue when it becomes something that dehumanizes people, but if it's consensual and you're not harming anyone, it's just one of those things humans do. You gotta ask yourself, are you living in the moment, or are you getting lost battling metaphorical dragons all day?
