so who told you that married people do not masturbate.

FYI, na dem dey masturbate pass sef
Masturbation done for example with your spouse is not forbidden. This involves two consenting people. It's different from the one done locked up in the room not wanting anyone to see you!

You make it sound like we are all alike.

You also fail go see that there's a difference when one is chronic.

According to Practo.com:

Side effects of masturbation
Excess of anything can be harmful. Masturbating excessively can cause:

fatigue
weakness
early ejaculation
may also inhibit sexual activities with your partner
injury to the penis
vision changes
lower back pain
testicular pain
hair loss


If someone is feeling weak, fatigued all the time and has poor vision, how is he gonna be able to hustle adequately?

This is science speaking, not religion or your feelings.

So yes, he may not necessarily be attributing his problems to it, it can be a fallout of excessive masturbation.
Stick to science and facts.

Excessive masturbation is usually as a result of underlying psychological or stress issues. Treat that 1st otherwise, you will just be treating symptoms and not the disease. If you think having a healthy sexual drive is a problem, try erectile dysfunction or impotence. Just do everything in moderation and you are a normal human being. Sort out the hidden issues before tackling the masturbation.
Someone please get OP to realize this so he seeks professional mental health therapy immediately, abeg! undecided

➜Everything is wrong with masturbation. I know a young girl that masturbate. She does it right in my presence but codedly. I take her lesson. It's affecting her academically. I have observed she is strongly addicted to it
She is an addict. Like the OP, her problem isn't masturbation but the psychological issues/trauma/stresses that she attempts to relieve by way of masturbation, leading to a cycle of addiction. The underlying issue remains unresolved, which is the particular reason for the addictive behavior.

You can advise her to seek our professional mental health treatment for her issues. undecided

Brother,Masturbation isn't the cause of your predicaments
If you want to stop it because it's addictive, it's understandable
Addiction is very very bad,even people that take hard drugs swear they won't go back

Your attitude is the issue,masturbation won't stop your unemployment
We've learnt to demonise our misfortunes in this part of the world, we tend to shift blames instead of looking at the cause
Your lack of conviction, debased mindset, defeatist mindset is what kills your purpose,when hunger catch you for a week,you will leave your meat and go find meat ,it seems someone is sponsoring his lifestyle
If you want to quit,it starts and ends with you.
The mind is a very powerful tool for prosperity
You attract what you believe, as a man thinketh ,so is he,people masturbate and make lots of money from it,people pay other people to.watch them do it
Two teams wrong with you is addictive tendencies
and a defeatist mindset....overcome this you will be an overcummer
Bros, masturbation is a huge part of his problem.

I've been a victim, and I can tell you for a fact that I've experienced literally everything that the OP shared. Go all over the internet and see a lot of people share the exact same experiences. At the end of the year, VDM who appears so bold in front of a camera shared his experience of how masturbation almost ruined his life.

All these can't be coincidences. The most common adverse effects are anxiety, low self esteem, inability to focus on a task for so long. Ultimately, these traits lead to lack of productivity, declining relationships with people, rejection, etc. People start to perceive you as weird, and then they don't want to get in touch with you. It's worse when you're not that naturally good looking. It's tough for someone going through these things to have a drive.

The thing is there's something masturbation and pornography does to the brain that I think science has no conclusive explanation for at the moment. Basically, it alters the brain's chemistry and causes a lot of changes (retrogressive changes) in the person's mental and emotional states.

Adegbem01:
The truth is, it sounds like you're using masturbation as a scapegoat for the challenges and disappointments in your life. There are countless people; successful leaders, socially active individuals, even billionaires, who also masturbate. The act itself isn't inherently destructive.

What is harmful is compulsive addiction or attaching guilt and shame to it based on certain belief systems. When the act is viewed only through a lens of sin or secrecy, it creates internal conflict; not because of the act itself, but because of the mindset surrounding it.

It's important to distinguish between real problems; like poor life choices, laziness, lack of discipline, or a sense of direction, and a convenient target like masturbation. Blaming it might feel easier, but it won’t fix the underlying issues. Taking responsibility, adjusting your mindset, and developing discipline will.
Bros he's not.

Please read my comment before this.

Masturbation in itself isn't bad, but it's the addiction to it that is bad, just like every other addiction.

Someone who masturbates three times a day doesn't like himself, too much of everything is bad, two or three times a week is healthy, .

Don't you start patronising prostitute all because someone online said that masturbation is bad, you can contract diseases that will make you wish you didn't start,
Masturbation in its core is addictive. That's the very reason it should be avoided.

➜Addiction started from small. Let me do it once become two three .... Iet it just be two minutes become three four minutes, one week two weeks
. That is not how addiction works since it ain't a moral failing as many would like to pretend. There is always a root cause — brain changes, genetics, environmental factors, mental health conditions, personality traits, etc. — in the background to fuel addictions. undecided

He said he suddenly started stroking his penis and then climaxed. He felt good, and wanted to do it again.

Kindly explain why he wanted to do it again after climaxing.

These(in bold) are not results of effects of masturbation but rather of underlying psychological issues that you may have been dealing with around the same time you were masturbating. undecided

2. Masturbation and porn are pleasures one seeks out out of curiosity or even for stress relief. The problem begins when these pleasures become the go-to solution for when one is under psychological stress or has experienced trauma. undecided

3. Science does have an explanation; you merely seem to reject it, still is what. undecided

4. Moderate masturbation does not alter your brain. Rather, it is excessive masturbation— addiction being the major problem here— that leads to the alteration of one's brain. Much the same way that any other addiction — drugs, alcohol, gambling, food, etc.— would. undecided

Nothing wrong with climaxing, feeling good, and then desiring that feeling again. The brain's reward system is there to reward us for actions and there is nothing wrong with that at all. It is when one(not the act itself) enters into a cycle of addiction — the act itself can be anything from eating, drinking, masturbating, exercising, smoking, etc.,— ... due mostly to other issues in the life of the one, that it becomes a problem. undecided

So the thousands of people who have shared almost the same experiences stemming from porn consumption and masturbation had underlying issues?

The argument that one seeks masturbation out of curiosity or stress isn't always true. The feeling that comes with these acts release hormones from the brain that have a strong potential to cause addiction.

From the very first time a person watches porn and/or masturbates, he wants to do it again. Some people pay attention to those desires, while for some, they get so involved with other things that they forget they ever had such desire in the first place.

Unluckily for those who yield to those desires the second, third, or fourth time, it starts to get difficult from that point. By that time, there's already an alteration in their brain chemistry. This is when it begins to affect a person mentally and emotionally.

So doing it in the first place risks addiction, just like drugs and other addictive acts or substances. Stop advocating for something that destroys lives. You're being devilish.

What's wrong with masturbation is when you do it excessively, same as other vices,it's the frequency and dependecy that's what make it dangerous
What makes someone prosperous is your environment, mindset and willpower, if you believe masturbation is the source of your misfortune, Every negative occurrence in your life will be linked to it,if your favourite team team loses,it's because you beat your meat?

As far as I know, I've not seen anyone who became addicted to masturbation as a result of issues they were going through.

Rather, those issues came when they started masturbating. Do you think anyone who has successfully quit masturbation and gotten his life back would want to try to masturbate again at any point in his life?

Not even once in a month, or a year would he want to try that shit. That's because he knows how it almost ruined his life.

1. YES! 🤔

2. Those same hormones are released every time we do pleasurable or fun activities, or do something worthwhile. There are no special hormones released in the brain when one masturbates. It is the same reward center in the brain and the same set of hormones. undecided

3. The answer you seek is hidden in the difference between the two groups.

4. No! You don't risk addiction the first time you eat, do you? No, however, choosing food as your go-to solution for stress and trauma increases your risk of getting addicted. There is nothing devilish about it. undecided

Thank God you mention VDM, Which of the OP's problem does VDM have. VDM claim might be true (I have a faint idea of the video you are talking about), infact op claims might be true (most likely not) but the important thing is we most time blame the easy excuse (devil made me do it kind) why most are confused base on cultural and societal beliefs.

If you asked someone who's addicted to pornography and masturbation which they would choose first between that, and food, to give them pleasure, they would choose the former.

That tells you that masturbation can stimulate a greater release of dopamine as well as other neurotransmitters like endorphins and oxytocin. This is precisely why you risk addiction doing it the first time.

The dopamine that comes with climaxing is too high that it overwhelms basic functions of the brain at the moment. That's why a person who just climaxed feels sleepy immediately. Is that what you're comparing food with?
