True. But personally I think addiction to masturbation would be like fapping at least 20x a day or fapping to things that shouldn't be considered sexual. At least something like that :biggrin:


Maybe, if you're unable finish necessary daily tasks due to the knuckle shuffle, then you're an addict.

Of course it's fine, as long as it's not getting in the way of your life. It's actually good for you!

Really?:K:


Yes it is good for your mental health and sex life..

I'd argue that, like anything, it's an addiction if you NEED it and can't stop, if it's not longer a healthy pastime, and it gets in the way of your everyday life.


I like your statement! :biggrin:

My ex-classmate from my previous cohort had a huge masturbation problem. He couldn't help but masturbate in public places, like the school toilets or in class. :s-smilie:

Also releases endomorphins, so therefore good for stress levels. Studies also show that orgasm increases your level of immunoglobin, which helps your immune system.

I've taken some flak in the past for noting the positive correlation between MMORPG and the necessity of self-pleasuring.

I believe on a physical level it ages you due to the loss of nutrients (and energy) from ejaculation. Over-masturbation is linked with inability to fight illness and disease plus signs of aging such as baldness & ED.

I hear many stories about relatively relatively young men going bald and having trouble getting it up and keeping it up, whereas pre internet I believe this was a lot rarer, hence the need to use viagra, which I think was released around the same time the internet was taking off (mid 90s).

Discounting spirituality and porn use, that's a whole new thread, Taoists advocate non-ejaculation, so I interpret this to mean being able to use porn (or a women) but not blowing. At the point of shooting, stick your fingers into your perineum, tongue to the top of the mouth, clench your other fist, until it sinks back down. Taoist masters can do this process using thought only. It can be like holding back a tidal wave, but once you master this it is so liberating.

When all has been said and done it's entirely your choice how often you do it, but having self-control/discipline and being able to retain your essential nutrients and energy is the way to a better more productive life.

Mastubation is driven by a sexual urge, its a response to something completely natural. The idea that not mastubating makes you any less addicted is like an ex smoker with a nicotine patch saying they are no longer addicted. The urge is the addiction not the response. As such there is no set number that makes someone addicted, as a sexual urge is natural component, people need to address biological urges the need is not the addiction anymore than someone eating because their brain tells them is addicted. People eat way before they come close to starving, the reason such urges exist is becuase we are supposed to fulfil them. Everyones libido is different and changes based on other factors such as diet and stress so one person 1 a week might be another 3 a day.

I would say people are addicted, when they are doing it outside of their urges, people doing it has habit unrelated to sexual urges or people who will masturbate rather than enjoy a normal balanced sex life. When people are regularly jacking off in their office rather than having sex with their wife or gf, or masturbating when they can't even maintain arousal then you have a problem.

The idea mastubation is dangerous or wrong is just an old religious hang over. There have been plenty of proved benefits from lower cancer rates to lower blood pressues, all found by actual scientist rather than priests and spiritual wackos.
