the guy that asked that question gained my respect

So the answer is we have biological needs but shouldn’t let it consume our energy and time too much to the point where it takes our mind off of our other high priority needs. I think this is a great answer as it doesn’t pick a side and tells people to find balance with both sides and that balance can vary person to person

Imagine if the world's leaders were as logical as Sadhguru. Peace, love and spiritual existence.

Admire the confidence of the guy who asked the question. Well done lad 👍

i love how he isnt shy to take moment to think, then teach while adding humor and making his student laugh while learning 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

It took guts for that guy to ask that question, and it's a valid one. I also admire the answerer's answer. As long as the person who masturbates doesn't put that as his or her main goal in life, there's nothing wrong with it. Just do it in moderation, otherwise the guy will start thinking more of his hand, than he does of his wife, or life. (That's what I got out of it.)

i really love the confidence of sadhguru that he laughs even when no one is laughing at what he said💥💫

Sadhguru is one of a kind..he can discuss anything under the sun that a common person could understand..he trully is an insturment of love,peace and harmony in this world..im giving him so much respect and honor .

The open-mindedness, rationalism/naturalness & beauty of Hinduism.

I love how the guy asking turned from "they" into "we"

Sadhguru gives very balanced and beautiful answers to sensitive questions. I have listened to him in several other videos and I have found Sadhguru an extremely decent man with a high spiritual profile. I have been raised in an orthodox country where religion treats masturbation as a taboo, or as a sin only because culturally speaking sexual desire outside of marriage is believed to be inspired by the devil. Even very young people, teenagers, are taught to consider that their intimate moments offend God and affect their mind and body health, and they become spiritually degraded or perverted. All this is because orthodoxy rejects evolution. Sadhguru mentions evolutionary processes in many of his interviews or stage presentations, which an orthodox priest or theologian would deny or put them on the account of the evil spirits. Unfortunately, people are not encouraged to speak openly and without shame about the biological aspects of life, but prefer to remain silent about them, because this is the way society has developed culturally. A basic natural need has been culturally and abusively altered and turned into something malefic, only because of some superstitions and religious misunderstandings.

Very educative , inspirational and interesting from Sadhguru and the lads . Good questions

The man is so engaging. I love all his offerings.

Whoever reading this Your good time started blessings on the way

My summary: It is for basic energetic / sustainability reason to not over indulge... your physical energy is directly related to the resources (food and water) that the earth gives you... and it is not infinite.. so use wisely.. the amount of physical energy needed for your body to become aroused and ejaculate - plus the result (children who also need resources for energy) , can be unsustainable / or a net negative use of energy (unless you have children responsibly and they "offer" more good to the world as opposed to mindless consumption) So not good or bad... just how do you choose to use your energy --- energy is not free or infinite (food, soil, water, oxygen) be mindful

Very Nice Explanation !

Nick, this was a triple help!! You fulfilled Nipsey's project after his death, you've put Doc Godwin story and message out to the world after his death, and you've gave us hope and inspiration that together we can get it done in a world in which not all of us are for us!! Big Ups Brother.. peace and prosperity

The question has the answer in itself - it doesn’t need a guru to answer it - again talking about it or preaching about it is different from what one practices 😊

very good question especially for young people. the answers were also quite sensible particularly for the general public.

I'm 74 years old and have choked my chicken regularly my whole life and never went blind or grew any hair in the palms of my hands so it's been ok for me. My mother opened my door in a hurry once when I was about 12 years old and caught me taking matters into hand so to speak. She informed me that if I keep doing that it could cause me to go blind. So I assured her I would stop as soon as I need glasses.

It's a great learning it added knowledge and broaden my horizons of life...

Amazing knowledge & wisdom. Beautifully explained a taboo topic.

Educational, motivating, gathered alot from you,, happy new year from Kenya africa

Good question. I really appreciate how he's open minded..

Very educative, watching from Ghana.

Another words don't play with yourself everyday only once a week will do and the rest of the week hit the books.

the guy is very bold and courageous !

Yep! Go for it!

GREAT SADGURU G, A MAN SOFT LIKE SILK, BEAUTIFUL LIKE DIAMOND AND HARD &BRIGHT LIKE STEEL.

I feel that Sat Guru expand his topic covering almost every studies of modern education ideas. He jumps from psychology to neurology, astrology to cosmology, History to ecology, politic to counseling, science to religion, logic to reasoning, economy to business, chemistry to medicine, Myth to fiction. Any professore in the civilised world spends almost whole life to become a professor of one or two filed. Now what title we gave this Satguru? Dr. Of Univers!

It hook me and interested to watch 👍👍👍

Beautiful explanation

It's ok if you have self discipline. Don't get addicted to it

Guru is a man of great understanding. May God continue to guide him.TRINIDAD

Masturbacja i tracenie nasion, obawianie się zbliżyć do płci przeciwnej, nieprzyjemne zaznawanie i odczuwanie relacji - to są bardzo niezdrowe rzeczy Gadanie z ludźmi, przytulanie, całowanie itd ze płcią przeciwną, wszechprzyjemne doświadczanie uczuć i kontaktów z ludźmi- to są uzdrawiające rzeczy

Wow. Ive never seen him in a T shirt. I didn’t know he had a hoop earring too. I love him even more

Restraint of the senses is essential to consolidate one's prana in the mind, where it can be focused during meditation.

I love guru's explanation

Salute he asked this question

I love your answers ❤

That's a genius behaviour right their. He didn't know the exact answer about it. So he figured it out Defining what the question is and then using logical theories came out then boom delivered the points not specifically got your expected answer but you will get the point of ideas..the fact is he is able to answer it even though he is not made a studies of that particular question...I also did that when someone asking me random questions.. figuring,defining,comparing,and then using logic..u will not get the specific answer but at least you get the points.

Any thing is OK unless there is sufficient pure blood , when pure blood is lost there is lot of loss in body , mentally , physically, medically...

well said and brought intro a great context

Woow. Full of wisdom

Sadhguru takes like 10-15 minutes just to answer a question. he goes on and on and on.

what amazing about that? He said you have needs, acknoledge it but dont put it in first place, it's logical.

Great discussion, good to see youth asking the important questions. We go into the different stages of life not sure what to do or whether or not it's okay. We learn through the grapevine most of the personal, self management skills. There are never any intelligent discussions about this subject, so we all approach it clumsily. Some feel shame, some disgust, but it's your libido, and it's unavoidable. It's like riding a wild stallion. You learn to manage it, or it addicts you, so be aware, and never let yourself take it beyond the lines of private intimacy. Good to see this educational program.

Pray the holiest rosary daily , pray the Joyful mysteries, Luminous mysteries, Sorrowful mysteries n Glorious mysteries and you will stop your sins of impurity and other addictions as well, pray to Our Lady who is the mother of Jesus. Have a holy n blessed Christmas everyone.

I think if this guy was doing tech support more people would have easier time with customer support lol

It's your life force.

Well digested

Moderation moderation moderation.

Yes, but you have to find the right kind of lotion, it has to be unscented or you'll never get the smell off your hand. Also has to be just the right consistency, the wrong brand won't hold up under punishing conditions.

25 days of semen retention for me… I can tell you that it is hard because of certain urges, but if you can control your sexual energy, wild things will happen.. my skin is glowing, I have energy that I’ve never had before, women talk to you randomly (at gym tonight, chick was digging my crocs and told me), confidence, masculinity, all in all, it’s like a god-like state… it’s a hidden power and I will practice it for the rest of my life. I’m 30 years old btw 🤙🏼🤙🏼

Good answer Sir

Sadguru has a voluminous vocabulary ,which he can use to articulate a subject which is both delicate and emotional in nature, in a most profound manner . Thanks to Sadguru for his prowess. But in the younger adolescent age where the biological need can overpower the intellect , how do you administer caution to the budding youth to save the semen for the future and not to overspend it ,while it is available in abundance presently. What is a cognitive caution that can be called upon to overcome the driving overpowering force, so that masterbation can be utilized healthily , both to the immediate well being and the future well being of the individual ?

why is there the feeling of being ashamed when it comes to sex anyway? why is this? we don't feel ashamed if we feel hungry and start to eat. are we ashamed if we are getting tired and falling asleep? no, we are not. but why are we ashamed of all sexual aspects? we feel ashamed when we would walk in public naked or when we are observed when we masturbate, even talking about it feels awkward, at least for some of us.... is there a reasonable easy explanation for that? anyone? on the other hand, most people do not feel ashamed of being greedy, selfish, etc. but they should.

I'm watching him for the first time. And I love his Scene of humour

His intelligence level is so high ✌️

Good explanation.

Absolutely you don't use it you will lose it it helps your prostate.

🙏🙏🙏🙏

Pranam Sadhguru.

It is a gift from God! As long as you aren't overdoing to the point of neglecting yourself and your loved ones there is no problem! Enjoy yourselves! Please!

Depends on what “ok” means… Semen is the life force of a man. It is his sacred seed, his source of creativity, inspiration, desire, vitality, confidence, enthusiasm, and a nourishing, magical elixir which has the ability to create another whole human being. Pondering on that alone should wake one up to this reality. To constantly waste your seed is to constantly drain yourself physically, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally, and in all ways energetically. I have been there and I am never going back. Semen retention for LIFE.

Pornography is wrong. It doesn't matter how much you do it every religion have their own beliefs. I am a Christian and my religion is against it 100%. If you are a Christian as well I suggest you focus on what your religion says. Listen to other religions and beliefs but don't follow what they do because it will confuse you from telling which is right or wrong.

I used to have terrible panic attacks .I notice when I did the praises of Tara ,I stopped masturbating and no panic attacks I stopped for years and no demonic attacks in dreams and such. I had a spate of insomnia[ 4 /5 and if I had a panic it would have killed me. Native Americans know that if you don't have sex empower themselves

I like the idea, find answers

only bad thing i feel about sadguru ,is to insult or humiliate someone asking the questions,laughing and saying ur clapping for this question....

I started this video as a grandma who thinks too much masturbation would be if you are getting sore from doing it. I believe we need to masturbate to know our bodies and for women to learn how to orgasm and for ment to learn how to not orgasm too soon. But after this video, I believe his message is a challenge to use the force of arousal to accomplish more than just an orgasm. I heard use that force to help myself in other areas of my life. Take Friday’s horniness and channel it into something else that can really help me. Sounds like a plan. At 63, every other day is my schedule. I’m gonna try twice a week as see if I get benefit. Yeah right…just the thought of doing it less makes me want it more. Oh and please use a tissue or washcloth to contain the seman. Letting it fly all over the sheets is gross.

YES

The answer is good. I may add .. the first question is is it to be a private or Collective action & activities. For sure Celebrate - Together.. I would add. 😮

I think this question should be asked again to Sadhguru in a way that he can get a lot more time to think about it’s many aspects and implications.

I’ve been trying to not spill seed, and try to learn how to bring the energy back up the spine. I just broke down, and am filled with shame, and this was the first video I see.

Very good topic

His words ring true

In answering this question you have to ask yourself another question and answer it with uncompromising honesty, and it is this. Does it bring you absolute happiness ?

You ask a professional fighter I went three months no masturbation no sex I have the power of three men no man could beat me I knocked out 29 within 3 months is the most powerful thing that I'm man can do other than contact our creator sounds good would that be nice

Yes, it is

It's more important than air, food & water...

Hi

Ohh looks like a popular questions 😅

This is so freaking good.

he has truth ,uncountable ,endless wisdom of the glob !.

moderation in All things is the path of wisdom ..you can enjoy all that life has to offer...balance.....thats all the guru Really needed to say.

Animals are definitely not merely their biology. Many animals have a lot of fun in their spare time. They play and get creative from time to time, just like human beings.

What is the background music's name please tell!!?!

Seriously this guru gives very good advice I prefer him over religious advice

Sex in marriage is considered to be more than a physical act between two people. The two connect spiritually in the realm of spirituality. If that is indeed true, what are the implications of casual sex, orgies and/or masturbation?

Seman retention is one my biggest health hacks ever, Wish I knew it earlier on in life!

i bloody hope so

Respect Great Stuff lLove it. lwant moore.........

Great answer. I don't normally listen to the so-called Indian Gurus but this explanation is spot on.

as soon as a subject is deemed off limits or taboo, more people are going to want to try to learn what is so bad about it and why they are not “allowed” to do it.. when it is something feels really good physically and causes no immediately obvious drawbacks, limitations, ill effects, or undesirable results, the danger of completely losing yourself and sacrificing all that is important in pursuit of repeating or maintaining that physical reward becomes very real.. if modern society didnt develop having the almost ancient concept that exploring your biology was such a taboo subject, there would be far fewer people ruining their lives today from becoming addicted to doing it..

Anyone know the song name that played in the intro ?

Don't u want to keep the plumbing oxygenated or it will shrivel like a raisin?

As it is written do all things in moderation. It came natural for me when I was only 13 plus. Thanks for making this clear professor Sadhguru !

Good for the heart ❤️ bad for the wrist ✋ ?

Good response

I just learnt online the official languages of India are Hindi and English, and that all University courses are taught in English... Where have I been all this time... ???
