Thoughts on Reintegrating Masterbation (Good or Bad Idea?)

Hi Everybody,

I wanted to get the communities thoughts on reintegrating masterbation after 90 to 180 days and see what people think about it. My friend and I were having this discussion yesterday and we came at it from two different angles. I am looking at this from the perspective of eradicating it completely as it can be a slippery slope as well as reinforce fantasy as opposed to reality. He believes it can be healthy in moderation after a significant period of abstinence.

As with all things the truth is usually somewhere in the middle and I think this is really specific to every individual and there can be a variety of solutions. I wanted to hear from you guys what your thoughts are on reintegrating masterbation (Not Porn) at some point throughout your recovery. Specifically sensation & 1st person fantasy masterbation.
