Side effects from over-masturbation?

[spiro]

I found something pretty scary. There's a "doctor" who claims that over-masturbation can have various side effects from losing your hair to getting eye floaters and becoming depressed.
Do you think that's true? This "doctor", his name is Dr. Lin, advocates this dry orgasm tantra stuff and a lot of other things which seem downright esoteric to me and not very scientific. Imo it looks like he blames pretty much every disease you can get on over-masturbation, lol.
But the stuff about the eye floaters worries me. I don't masturbate a lot. I also have a very low libido most likely due to my low testosterone levels. I usually fap when I'm bored, stressed or depressed but not more often than maybe 4 times a week. But a few months ago I noticed that my floaters suddenly became a lot worse and all of a sudden I could see much more of them and also at little sunlight and in darker environments. This is something I didn't have all the time before. I went to the opthalmologist and he just told me that floaters are "normal" and that you can't do anything against them. But what if this stuff here is true? I have never been given any explanations for getting floaters. Do the normal doctors not know anything about this or is this whole stuff about serotonin, prostaglandins etc. nonsense?
I had a lot of stress during the time where I suddenly got more floaters so maybe there really is a connection. But even if there is then it's still not reversible.

""4. eye floaters or sun-light sensitive eyes, blurred vision or sympathetic nervous pupil dilation - due to disorders of the nervous sensing (acetylcholine nervous) and amplifier (dopamine nervous) circuits, a deficiency of the serotonin/GABA nervous modulation in retina, excessive stress hormones, or a poor retinal blood circulation or an arterial constriction due to deficiency of prostaglandin E-1 or/and Nitric oxide or sympathetic nervous action on the beta receptors, or an excessive inflammatory hormone prostaglandin E2 release induced by deficiency of the androgen hormones or excessive stressors cortisol or epinephrine.
5. buzzing ears - the same as Item 4..
7. weak erection or youth impotence.
8. low libido, exhaustion and fatigue due to deficiency of the brain's neurotransmitters dopamine, acetylcholine and serotonin and a lack of oxytocin.
10. penile (clitoral or G-spot for women) shrinkage ( or vaginal enlargement or loosening for women) - due to atrophy of spongy tissues caused by nervous damage, deficiency of acetylcholine or/and Nitric Oxide, or excessive stress hormone in the sympathetic alpha receptors.
11. unwanted penile bending and shrinking (the clitoral/G-spot death and shrinkage)- formation of the scar tissues due to tissue and nervous abrasion .
12. premature ejaculation - damage of the prostate/urethral nerves and duct, and burning-out (drop) of the serotonin and acetylcholine level in the brain and nervous synapses.""

bro life is a series of *oh crap I f'ed up* and dealing with teh consequences. You should never let any downfall be depressing. Something will eventually go wrong, you will eventually make a mistake, etc,etc. Enjoy it while you can. There is another post on here about male health that has some stuff in it about this. Mostly just the depression part.

 

[BabyHulk]

I always thought you could under do it...not over do it! In all seriousness...I truly cannot see it being harmful

 

[Red Dog]

Please please please, nobody come in here with the ****ing "hairy palms & go blind" joke. I hate it so much -- I don't know why.

I agree with the guy above me; do it all you want. Unless you seriously do it so much that you are rubbing the skin of your peen and it hurts/gets infected, I can't see it being a big deal.

WTF? Where does he get this? Wha'ts up with number 6??


/just for you, RD

 

[orangutan]

bullsh!t, the only one that makes sense is the depression. because if ur jerking it alot ur not getting laid, thus ur depressed. i also notice if u go over twice a day, u get really tired....... but everyone should no these answers from experiance anyway right:dunno:

 

[dynomite]

I bet a few of these are true. Like impotence and premature ejaculation. I am a whacking machine because I work in Iraq and have endure long dryspells. I probably do it too much and that desire is not really there liek it should be. Obviously if I cut down and did it only when i needed to then I would have more desire. Plus with all of the whacking off affects my sex life. Like when i first got back home this girl i got with i just wanted an HJ. I do think all the whacking affects your sex life as it is very unintimate and no pressure of pleasing somene else. I am sure the neurotransmitter thing is probably true and can be proved scientifically. Dont drugs like Viagra work through manipulating neurotransmitter levels?

as for all of the other stuff, i dont see how eye floaters can be pinned on whacking it.

lol!

the medical cause revealed....though if memory serves me correct, there have been a couple funny instances....LOL

 

[Iron Warrior]

Jesus, this guy makes masturbation seem worse than AIDS. I would have been dead by no if that was true.

 

[Chub]

That explains why i have palms like a werewolf, am blind in one eye and the buzzing noise! I thought the buzzing was just because bees liked the honey in my pocket:dunno:

 

[RenegadeRows]

Taoists believe that women have unlimited sexual energy, and men have a limited sexual energy. therefore they do not bust nut very often. similar to tantric sexual practice. it is for health reasons, just not western health, eastern health. conserving vitality/chi energy. kinda interesting.

i also notice when i go periods without orgasm i feel more alive, more vital, energetic and happier. could just be a fluke.

the other side of the coin is sex is pretty natural and feels good.

the key here: moderation

 

[spiro]

Maybe this Dr.Lin is simply a nut but at the same time this paranoid stuff can also worry you especially if you have any of the symptoms he describes. But he could as well be making this all up and simply come up with some fancy terms like neurotransmitters in order to make it look scientific. If this stuff is true then where does Dr.Lin know it from?

But masturbating must have some effect on the brain. I notice that when I'm tensed or depressed then usually I feel relieved after jacking off. Maybe this can also turn into an addiction because now I always feel like jacking off when I'm stressed out and I don't know if this kind of dependency is healthy or normal. If I try not to do it then the stress level doesn't go down on its own and I stay tensed all the time.

well NOT jacking off is unhealthy physical-wise ...it is bad for the prostate. my urologist told me that if u dont release for about a week it will just come out in ur sleep anyway(depending on age, older will hold for longer)...so u might as well jackoff before then and get something out of it...or its just a waste. i'd say ED to EOD is healthy....now as u said u will feel more energetic/excited if u hold it for awhile, but that excitement is only caused from RELLY wanting to jerk it....and u know when u do its going to be 10X better

I will honestly admit night occurances become a common thing if you dont get any or wank the poor bugger.

I have heard the same.
When I don't jack off then I also get wet dreams after a while. This also means that it's not even possible to basically hold it in forever because you will get wet dreams and you can't prevent this unless you stop sleeping.

exactly, but not many people are educated about that. mostly because our school systems teach nothing to males about their bodys. they show girls all kinds of movies about their periods, they even celebrate it. but when i busted MY first nut i thought i drank too much milk that day or something... i didnt know what the hell was going on, scared the sh*t outa me.
plus now days u got movies exaggerating the whole thing...like if a guys a virgin or he hasnt gotten laid in along time.... he shoots the girl through the roof or some stupid sh*t like that.

 

[slacker86]

apparently for Dr.Lin to get off he uses rogain, a moneky wrench and a belt sander.... If anyone else uses those i would have to suggest that it may not be healthy at all....

 

[bulldogz]

I guess i'm gonna go blind real quick...****!

 

[MSL2009]

This guys theories are very accurate but his products are very inneffective speaking from experience.

 

[roids1]

I've been JO more lately since getting laid off. The only side effect I've ever noticed is a sore shoulder and about an extra .5" of size on my right arm (I'm left handed). Otherwise, all that sounds like bull****. Jerk away!

 

[Wetdawg]

Depression could be a side effect. After a few tugs without a hug, you would begin to realize you need a Woman. Sad it would be.

 

[StuartGould]

Ok guys I AM a real doc and this is complete, comprehensive, total and all- inclusive camel w@nk. Um, sorry.

Absolutely NO evidence for ANY harmful effects except maybe friction burns to the end of the old chap.

Floaters are detached bits if crap floating in the vitreous humour of the eye. We all have them. Sure there are some predisposing causes. But polishing the carrot and rod walloping is not one of them.

Perhaps yer man who made this up should take it up....

 

[StuartGould]

Oh, and by the way it is a well known fact that all males think that quickly knocking one out will cure all manner of real bodily diseases....

Who here has not felt temporarily better when suffering fro a cold / flu after a decent rhumba on the cucumber.

Definitely some endorphin business going on, like after heavy weights

 

[roids1]

Why doesn't someone just keep a JO log. Say, 6 times a day for 30 days and report the results. Then, we can put this theory to bed.

Aren't you already doing that, Roids?.....:laugh:

 

[roids1]

Not since I was around 15. You shoulda seen willp's first post at BN. He was asking for training advices and threw in that he APs about 5 times per week and masturbates around 10xweek.

Speaking of fellatio, here's a little sum10 to pass along to your wife/gf about preventative medicine. "No excuses, it's for your own health."

[soseg]

didnt read ur article post thing but im gona go out and say bull****.

theres no side affects apart from feeling like a loser when you're finished, the whole, "oh... man I really need a girlfriend" feeling... that... and a sore penis for a few days if you go at it for more than 4hours straight...

that aside theres no side affects... anyone who believes that crap is stupid! plenty other scientific / medical sites out there to back me up!

Actually I mean constantly releasing your bodies feel good chemicals burns it out.

Its the same way sensitivity works with any other chemical in our body.

It is actually my belief that much of the relationship issues of today stem from insensitivity brought on by multiple sex partners and over masturbation while in private. I mean look at the divorce rate, what is it now between 60-70% or something stupid?

 

[Droppingloads]

:lmao: yeah I remember that. Back at the time I had a live in gf and I'd AP her at least a dozen times a week. Then I'd JO daily so yeah I would be dropping mad loads.

No ill effects from that!!!!

Are you guys on summer break from middle school?















...just curious

LOL!

Sometimes I wonder on here...there have been alot of middle schoolers roiding lately.

 

[Droppingloads]

I can't wait to get to middle school, OMG WTF!!! LOL!!!

 

[Doogsy123]

I was reading in MD magazine that increased masturbation + sexual activity in 20-30 year olds increases the risk of prosate enlargement and thus a higher risk of disposition to prostate cancer

 

[texaswolf]

I bust one out 2-3 times a day even if I am pulling trim. It's just routine. I have my daily scheduled porn viewings.

I haven't noticed any side effects.

 

[BAMABEAR]

:lol:

 

[Droppingloads]

Exactly. The gf didn't have a problem with my JO all the time. I told her until the day came when I rather JO than AP you then you can't say anything.

I never turn down trim even if I've JO once or twice that day.

 

[Zero V]

Maybe this is why people end up with low test? lol.

Technically....that theory would make sense.

 

[texaswolf]

It might lower your sperm count if anything which isn't a bad thing. I don't want kids right now.

 

[roids1]

When you're married and AP starts to become a weekly event rather than daily, you'll find that it doesn't last as long, plus you don't go for a 2nd and third round like you would when you were 20 years old.

So, daily masturbation can be a good treatment for permature ejerkulation.

GICH!

 

[DenDestroys]

Every board I seem to visit, some person usually makes a topic on this Dr. Lin guy; he's not even a doctor. His site says so himself, he has degrees in oceanography and coastal engineering. So he read a few books on chinese medicine, and then wants to act like he can cure any sexual dysfunction? Everytime he replies to someone, he talks a lot of medical jargon, distorts the meaning entirely 'til nothing makes sense, then gives you a quicklink to his catalog page to buy the products you need to be cured. How come there are never any follow-ups where someone says his stuff actually has cured their problem?

 

[JayTren3000]

The only side effect is a raw shaft.

 

[Droppingloads]

I find Astroglide works best over everything else out there to JO with.

Thoughts?

 

[roids1]

Just saw this thread again and realized I haven't abused it all day. That's unusual!

 

[Droppingloads]

xhamster during lunch today....

 

[texaswolf]

Best lube by a landslide.

 

[JayTren3000]

Word, astro is good stuff. Just expensive. CVS has a good knockoff.

I find Palmer's Cocoa butter body lotion works nicely with no need for re-application. I find it humorous that the name is "Palmers". How appropiate.

 

[JW32Hoops]

Most lubes are oil based, which has the potential to stain sheets, clothes, etc.

Look for a brand called "Wet" (should be in most xxx stores) it's water based...and it's awesome.

 

[JayTren3000]

Switch it up with Icy hot every so often to add some kick.

GICH!

 

[hituw2x4]

It can't be true. What if your banging your wife or girlfriend multiple times a day? Excuse me while I go stick my c*ck back in the vacuum.
