Answer
1. Constant loss of semen from voluntary ejaculation through masturbation leads to immense loss of Prana, health and finally vitality causing degeneration and premature decay of the body. This results in rapid weakness & ageing. One becomes prone to illness & various diseases. The mind gets addicted to the concept of sexuality leading to strengthening of past sexual Samskaras (impressions) and Vasanas (tendencies). Spirituality becomes dim and finally disappears.

2. The method of getting free from porn & masturbation has been dealt with in various 'past answers'. Kindly go through each and every 'past answer' on this portal to get clear with the method.

3. Answer.1 clears Question.3

4. Yes.

5. The Yogic practices to be applied have also been outlined in past answers.

6. Because it is life energy. Isn't life important?

7. Mere lack of masturbation does not make semen into Ojas. For that, one has to practice Brahmacharya in thought, word and deed with a life of Yogic practices. Ignore blue balls.

8. Pranic energy is conserved through Brahmacharya. It is located all over the body with its source in the Atman present in the heart.

9. Yes.

10. Through Brahmacharya.
