What is Buddhism's view on masturbation?
Is it restricted to have it? Does it ruin your karma?

    Don’t really know for sure but from my experience from listening to Buddhist monks it’s very frowned upon on for monks

    The Buddhists consider semen to be spiritual energy of some sorts, considering it literally gives life. Masturbation is seen as a waste of potential and is therefore not a good thing to do. Don't know if it is "banned".

      Do you know if that applies to females?

        Buddhism wasn't intended to be for women. The Buddha taught his philosophy to a small elite of male followers. Early buddhism would 100% be considered "misogynistic" by today's standards, and female-exclusionary.
