Hi, I am 18 years old male and I follow most things a sikh should (i have kesh however I have cut my pubic hair before, quite a long time ago, and may do in the future to have a better sexual life, I also do Nitnem in the morning, I have recently started) I really like watching pornograpy and masturbating when I started praying again but I quit before for over a year and was not pleased so I came back to it for a while as I was depressed and then after a long time I had quit and started Nitnem and full sukhmani sahib daily for the past 2weeks, until today I had the urge to masturbate so I did, but I know its bad but I dont want to stop it, I could control it but dont want to and I know that I will go back to it if I ever do stop. I dont know what to do, I always have doubts about religion and I am not sure as I have tried to follow the right path but never know if it works, I feel that bad things happen when i masturbate but it only seems like a feeling. Should I stop Nitnem, I have skipped today and masturbated but other days when doing nitnem I have never masturbated. I really like the feeling, I dont know what I should do. Please advice me on this, I also think that everyone should have their own opinion in life. Thank you.

What are you asking for? You already said in the end that everyone should have their own opinion. Either people will agree with you or disagree with you. Do you want to debate if masturbation is good or no? It is not clear.

Your post is one long sentence of random thoughts. Let us know how we can help or what we can opine on.
Thx!
