So, is it better if I abstain completely?

no? release of oxytocin and endorphins counteracts release of cortisol, even if its temporary. on a recurring basis, i can understand why the theory behind it might suggest an unhealthy source of dopamine long-term as it associates it with reward/pleasure and becomes a primary source of motivation, but it really depends on the lifestyle you lead and how operant conditioning works for your brain. everyone is anatomically different, masturbation may be either for better or worse for your cortisol levels throughout day-to-day but typically no

TL;DR yes, temporarily, but also make sure to reinforce your life with better habits such as good sleep/working out/diet to reward yourself as to not find masturbation as a primary source of dopamine or an escape from stress entirely. there is such thing as becoming a gooner but you can also control that with other good habits
