The Depressing Truth About Masturbation

Over-masturbation can leave you feeling depressed and limp. But why is this so? And what can you do about it? Get the facts.

Case #: 1464

Concern：

My history is that I have been over masturbating for 2 entire years straight. This is really driving me crazy and when I try to stop masturbating I end up getting depressed and I just start up and do it again. Because of all my masturbation I suspect my penis has shrunken an entire inch. I barely turned 20 and this situation is pretty bad. Is there anything you recommend?

Discussion：

Over-masturbation can be a vicious cycle. You do it to squash negative feelings, but the very act causes you to feel more depressed. And so the cycle continues, on and on and on. Before long, you become like a functioning drug addict, relying on an intricate schedule to maintain a constant “fix.” Like a drug addict, you hide your addiction behind closed doors, and like a drug addict, you soon begin to notice that all of this fun has a serious downside. We all love our orgasms, but if you continue doing what you're doing, your symptoms will only get worse.

Feeling Blue?

Masturbation will definitely exacerbate any depression you may struggle with (and for the record, “Masturbation Exacerbation” sounds like a great name for a Dr. Seuss book, but I digress). That's because chronic masturbation causes you to become deficient in important mood-regulating neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. So your problem isn't just psychological; it's very much a physiological issue as well. Your body is losing these important chemicals faster than it can replenish them.

Feeling Small?

As for penis shrinkage, this can also be a very real consequence. Over-masturbation contributes to testosterone depletion, nerve damage, tissue damage and plaque buildup inside the sensitive arteries along your penis. This leads to constricted blood flow to the genital area. It's certainly feasible to lose an entire inch if your masturbation addiction has you reaching for sweet release multiple times per day. The good news is that these symptoms are largely reversible; the bad news is that it's going to require a bit of will power on your part.

Reclaim What's Rightfully Yours

There are a number of techniques and herbal remedies that can promote penis size increase and reverse the effects of sexual exhaustion. I would recommend the following three steps to restoring your mojo:

Stop masturbating so much. This is the bad news, but come on, you knew it was coming.
Find your X-Spot and spend a few minutes massaging it each day (just be careful not to turn this exercise into a masturbation session. If you're not sure how to find your X-Spot (or what it even is), check out this helpful resource. (SEE: Massage and Nourish X-Spot for Bigger Penis)
Take nourishing herbs to repair damaged tissue and restore optimal hormone and neurotransmitter levels

Be strong, and remember that it's always the hardest in the beginning (although, ironically, your penis will be softest in the beginning). Stay committed to the goal, and you'll soon feel like your old self again.
