Answer
Namaste! I'm glad to get your questions. Your text will be indexed and I'll give my answers and comments between.

>Im Skod 23 yo...Im addicted to pornography and masturbation..Masturbating since 10yo and Watching porn since 20 yo...Im so weak.. i can avoid masturbation only for a week...
23 years old is a difficult time and it's fantastic that you're making the effort to cure yourself of the masturbation habit now and not later.


>Normally i masturbate everyday 2 to 5 times..
You could surely do better than that :)

>Recently i feel that i should stop masturbating n gain pranic energy. But its so difficult..I just have masturbated now after avoiding 4 a week n now i feel guilty..
Guilt is the normal reaction someone with a conscience has to doing things that are wrong. Look at it this way: at least you have a conscience, and you can listen to that conscience to know what to do in hard times. Remember to stop and listen to your conscience before you take any questionable actions.

>1) how masturbation can affect my health and spirituality?
Masturbation drains your energy, warps your view of women, gives you bad luck with your finances and career, wastes tons of your time, rots your brain, fills your brain with tons of garbage that will take years to take out with meditation and careful spiritual practice, shocks the nervous system, deprives the nervous system of needed phosphorous and compounds generally needed to repair nerves, takes out eight cups worth of blood, kills what could have been a new human life and throws it in the toilet, makes you aware of and creating disaster and countless problems in your world dream....

>2) how to avoid masturbating n porn?
Set search filters on "strict". Delete all porn from your hard drive and your browser cache. Find someone to sponsor you at the "covenant eyes" project who can see your browsing history. See the actors as members of your family. Remember that if you see women as sex objects, other men will see your mother, sister and cousins as sex objects. Some of them may be sold into sex slavery and be abused to death. Visit Shelley Lubben's Pink Cross website and learn what porn really is - how dirty it is, how sick, perverted and exploitive it is. Remember that the average age of porn actors (male and female) is 37 (see the pornstain epitaph: http://thekbh.org/dead_hos.htm). Remember that by using porn you are abusing real people who have been taken away from their homes, given fake names, and who will die very young.

>3) does porn affect my spirituality too?
It devastates your spirituality. You won't have anything left if you keep using it.

>4) should i avoid masturbating n porn FOREVER?
Yes, forever.

>5) how replenish my pranic energy? what meditation, yoga, food??
 ( if meditation, yoga can u give me the steps, n i like honey)
There are thousands of techniques for meditation. You can try any of them and see what works for you. If you're lucky enough to find a guru around you, take his advice on method. Yoga is the separation of self from addiction and connection with God. God will give you energy that you need. Your seed will nourish you. Your food should be vegetarian with good variety, a lot of fresh food, beans, berries and nuts. The more you can avoid sugar and eat foods with salt, the better. Salt will help to replenish your base which you have been wasting. Honey is "weird" food. Full of strange buzz. Do not use honey after fasts. Honey is still a sweet thing and generally avoid it. Keep to the salty side and you'll have more energy.

Also while being chaste you can stop shaving so much hair. You should at least keep all of your pubic hair. In Chinese tradition, your pubic hair is your wealth and luck. When you are impure you have to shave it off to avoid skin diseases. When you are pure you can keep it. Try to keep all your hair - your beard, your head hair. Wash with pure hot water and avoid soap or don't use it at all. Your hair is alive and it attracts energy.

>6) why pranic energy is important?
If you didn't have it, you'd be dead. The more prana you have from within, the less dependent you are on things outside of you that you can't control. You can realize Atman or become an angel.

>7) what will happen if i didnt masturbate for long time?

You will be very blessed with health, wealth and good luck throughout your life the longer you are chaste. Energy not wasted in masturbation is used to heal the body, nourish the nerves and increases your IQ. It's easier for you to be successful and happy. You appreciate women for who they are and don't look at them with eyes of a wolf. You have constructive relationships.

If your testicles hurt that's because you're being tempted. Don't look at porn and not masturbate, but rather don't look at porn NOR masturbate. Keep your head out of temptation and on useful projects. Keep a spiritual log as did Yogananda. How long did you meditate today? Keep a running log of each day. In a journal write out the problems your having and solve them before you run into trouble. Keep your days filled with projects and things to do that you planned at least from the day before. You do not have TIME to masturbate - you're too important and too busy with great work that you can do with this life you have.

>8) how to absorb pranic energy? at which place is it found most
 concentrated?
You absorb it by constructive activity and meditation. It should be concentrated in your head.

>9) should i be vegetarian?? i dun like to see animals kept n
 raised just to get slaughtered ..
Yes.

>10)im having a pre mature ejaculation for 7 years..how to solve   
 it?
Try not to ejaculate at all. Be chaste and be blessed. Hope this helps. OM!
