It has been previously stated that masturbation is forbidden and is only permissible out of necessity. The mere desire to reassure oneself about sexual health does not permit masturbation, as there is no necessity in that, nor is there any relationship between its infrequency or frequency and sexual health. Therefore, these intrusive thoughts should be abandoned. One can consult the counseling section of the website regarding sexual health.
