The only law is the law of one. All things are one and that one is light/love.

The notable results of masturbation are a reduction of libido, reinforcement of repressive Oedipal complexes and a temporary aesthetic release from suffering.

The libido would otherwise manifest as aggression. i.e it makes one more likely to act without provocation. That aggression will initially invest in acquiring spirit and intuition through higher functions, without which it would manifest as carnal agitation of the animal body.

Philosophy and spirituality put a lot of emphasis on 'will' and 'desire' because they are the core components for not just spiritual practice but for 'human practice' itself. Through orgasm we reinforce what is usually a very well maintained Oedipal cell, and a continuous cycle of 'futile' libido.

The temporary aesthetic release from suffering will content and drive the ego into further futile striving and suffering. The largest loss here is from this is the opportunity at denial of the will-to-life.
