Out of It – Problems Associated with Over Masturbation

Here we find a gentleman who has been over masturbating for quite some time and is now in an addictive state, resulting in numerous side-effects including groin pains and a soft member. What can be done to help him?

Case #: 1392

Concern：

Hi!! I've been masturbating at least four times per day for 20 years (I'm 29 now). When I was 23, I started having problems to maintain an erection hard enough to have satisfactory sex. It started happening at the same time when I was feeling a severe pain at my testicles, low abs and legs, which I found out was a case of varicocele in both sides. I suffered the surgery 3 years ago, but I still feel pain on my testicles and can't keep a good erection. By the way, I'm still addicted to masturbation. My tests are big and heavy, my penis is not as sensible as before and I haven't had any "morning erections" since then. I've taken some Yohimbe pills, they help a little, but nothing great. I feel that the whole area is like damaged and might need another surgery, and also, I have a very strong feeling that my prostate is enlarged. Well... I guess I need help... I don't know what to do... Thanks in advance.

Discussion：

It’s not unusual for males to start masturbating as kids. It’s a way to experiment with techniques, preferences, what works better and also what doesn’t (or even hurts!). It also allows us to discover our sexual functionality and finally discover what our teachers were telling us about when they were mentioning “the birds and the bees.” Masturbation can allow us to experience pleasure as we never have before; an incomparable euphoria that up until then was only something we could have dreamt about.

The Addict’s Woes

Experiencing an orgasm can be similar to attaining a drug high. In fact drugs such as cocaine and heroin can cause the same addiction to dopamine as a reliance on masturbation does. Both are addictive, especially when you’re in your younger years. Scientists have discovered that a person’s brain is still developing up until they are around 25 years of age, and as it is still in this vulnerable state, addictions are both easier to pick up and harder to drop. Unfortunately, masturbation has made an addict out of you.

Wowzers! Yes, masturbating 4 times a day for 20 years equals you being in an advanced stage of over masturbation. It must feel as though your testicles have been used as bungee jumping chords. Every time that you experience an orgasm your body uses some of its reserves of nutrients, neurochemicals, and hormones in order to gain that ultimate, fun feeling.

On the down side, if you masturbate chronically you blow through these back-up reserves and don’t rest enough to replenish them. Now, your brain is fried since it doesn’t have any acetylcholine/parasympathetic nervous charge left, and your androgen hormones have been severely depleted. In short: you’ve exhausted your body and its natural healing capabilities have been greatly inhibited leading to you being caught in a dangerous vortex of doom (well not that bad).

So what can be done about this?

Natural Replenishment

Consider helping to get your body back up to its maximum healing capacity by taking a natural herbal supplement. (SEE: Natural Remedy for Sexual Dysfunction & Exhaustion Relief) Not only these can help to stabilize and rebalance your out-of-whack hormonal levels, but they can also reduce the amount of inflammatory prostaglandin E-2 flooding throughout your body after every ejaculation, and thereby reduce your prostate swelling and testicular/overall groin pain. They can also repair the trauma that you’ve self-inflicted to your penile nerve endings and tissues, so that you can start to experience sensitivity again.

Since you are in such an advanced stage of obsessive masturbation it is not realistic to expect you to quit masturbating cold turkey. Reducing the number of sessions gradually from 4 times to 3 for the first week, then 3 times to 2 the following week, and so on, would be a more pragmatic approach. When you reach a point where you’re only playing with Mr. Happy 3-4 times a week you’ll be in a good place, and eventually you’ll have those morning erections again. You can do it, just put your mind to it!
