Is #masturbation really a waste of time?
When a voice in your head whispers that you’ve wasted your time masturbating, recognize it for what it is: the ghost of a world that sees you as nothing more than a useful tool. It speaks the language you learned long ago, the one that dictates that your value be measured solely by what you produce for others.
In this narrow view, your penis is reduced to a valve: something to be serviced quickly (if at all) so you can return to being a useful tool.
When you choose to #edge — to linger in the pleasure of your #masculinity and savour your #penis — you are committing a radical act of rebellion. It’s a way of reclaiming your time from a society that feels entitled to your every breath. Society wants you to believe this is avoidance on your part, but it’s really reclamation. Because you are stepping out of the frantic stream of doing and into the sacred stillness of being.
You were raised to believe that your worth is a currency to be spent on others, and that focusing on your own pleasure is selfish. But here’s the truth: you can’t pour from an empty cup. Taking time for yourself is a spiritual necessity. It is the charging of your internal battery, the silencing of the world’s noise, and your fundamental right to inhabit your own skin without apology or guilt.
This guilt you feel, in fact, isn’t a sign of wrongdoing. It is simply the friction of your old chains rubbing against your true self.
Own your time. Own your pleasure. Own who you are.
