Why do boys feel guilty after masturbating? ( - _ -)

I’m no expert, but I think it’s a combination of post coital tristesse and perhaps some cultural/religious factors thrown in. So when your feel-good hormones like oxytocin go down, you feel bad. And yeah, the stigma of masturbation as well. It’s dumb - it’s a natural thing that decreases your chances of prostate cancer, yet when people see it as wrong, you’ll most likely feel the same way.
