    Controlling masterbation with shame and guilt fucks you up, there.s a reason religions and authoritarian leaders love to do it (and this is literally an example of that happening)

      yeah it should be a personal decision after much trial and error each person figure out what works for them individually. The problem is people figure out what works for them individually and then they start preaching it, (and some of those people started religions and cults over the centuries and even in recent decades), Then young people hear this and haven’t quite figured out their own lives yet, and they think they need to follow someone else’s “good” advice and the cognitive dissonance tears them apart and the guilt and yeah what you said.
