Prolonged Use of a Water Jet & Vibrator Hinder Sexual Function

Chronic water jet and vibrator use induced shooting pains and cramps in her lower abdomen and clitoris.

Case #: 258

Concern：

I have masturbated with a water jet since age 12. I notice that when I am getting ready to have an orgasm, I start to feel shooting pains in my lower abdomen and clitoris. What’s going on with me?

Discussion：

You are likely suffering from the effects of over-masturbation. You may have abraded your vagina and clitoris, while having exhausted your adrenal response, which has resulted in pain in the abdomen and gential area.

When you engage in too much sex, masturbation, pornography viewing, sexual fantasy, and orgasms, the body overproduces androgen hormones, which exhaust the sex organs and release excessive dopamine levels. Dopamine, a precursor to the stress hormone epinephrine (adrenaline), overproduces epinephrine and places the body in a prolonged state of fight-or-flight stress. Meanwhile, norepinephrine, synthesized from dopamine, releases from the adrenal medulla into the blood as a hormone, along with the stress hormone cortisol. The hormone prostaglandin E-2, which serves an important function in sexual arousal, is overproduced as well and can cause sexual dysfunction, such as a lack of sexual stimulation and the pain you described.

An extremely exhausted adrenal function can cause an extreme low level of DHEA and cortisol, resulting in fatigue and pains throughout the body. You may experience pains for a couple of days until your prolactin and cortisol levels return to their normal ranges.

In order to reverse the ill effects of excessive sexual activity or over-masturbation, stop sexual activity for a few weeks. Let your body rest and replenish. Then you can come back to it with a lower frequency. You may want to take an herbal supplement such as VRD Formula III.
