masturbation - yes or no?

In this podcast (~5:50), dr. huberman says "it's the big peaks in dopamine that are not associate with any prior effort or organization of self that are particularly dangerous for the human being." Based on that, masturbation (even without porn) would be dangerous. But when I google "is masturbation healthy" I get a lot of sources talking about the benefits - reduced stress, improved sleep, etc... So what's the right approach to take regarding masturbation? (assume it's without any porn).

Artificial sweeteners

I am curious about sucralose, potassium acesulfame, aspartame, etc. I heard that they can disrupt the gut bacteria. Is this true? If true, how do the artificial sweeteners disrupt the gut bacteria? How bad do these sweeteners disrupt the gut bacteria? How can we counter the sweeteners disrupting the gut bacteria? How do we fully recover from the sweeteners disrupting the gut bacteria? Could you tell us more about other artificial sweeteners that also disrupt gut bacteria?
