Masturbation is one of the most common sexual behaviors performed by people of all ages, races, and backgrounds, with 97% of men and 89% of women saying they’ve masturbated in their lifetime.
Unfortunately, many people don’t consider the potential side effects of masturbation before giving it a try. If you’re suffering from any side effects of masturbation, though, you’ll want to find ways to get rid of them as soon as possible!
What Happens in the Brain During Orgasm
Our brains are crazy — and getting them out helps relieve stress and can even help us sleep better. In short, masturbation is good for your brain, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t without its side effects. Here’s what happens when you take matters into your own hands.
The common side effects of masturbating are similar to those that come with sexual intercourse or other forms of sexual release, such as vaginal sex or oral sex.
These side effects include muscle aches and tension, soreness in pelvic area muscles (the PC muscles), mood swings, irritability, and decreased motivation. But just like there are a variety of ways to have sex, there are also a variety of ways to masturbate.
If these side effects become too uncomfortable or disruptive in your daily life, talk with a doctor about how they may be caused by masturbation. In general, the one who masturbates starts having immense hair fall, dark circles, acne, pimples on the face and body, etc. if he/she does not follow any precautions while doing masturbation.
Is Masturbation Bad For You?
When you’re watching porn, you have no control over your situation and what you’re watching. It’s easy to imagine yourself in these situations, which can make you feel inadequate for not having a sex life as exciting as what you see on screen.
Keep in mind that masturbation is just another form of self-stimulation and it decreases sexual attraction or intimacy with your partner. In addition, if you watch pornography regularly, there’s a chance that when you do become sexually active with someone else, it will be difficult to perform because your body has become accustomed to masturbating alone. And if watching porn doesn’t do anything for you, then masturbating certainly won’t either!
You may disagree but masturbation can leave a bad impact on your relationship. Your partner is not a toy for you. There are many reasons for it. In some people, masturbation affects their partner’s self-esteem. Also, watching porn in front of a partner might make him/her feel uncomfortable or uneasy.
It can cause problems in communication and as a result of that one can prefer to be lonely, thus, decreasing sexual attraction or intimacy with your partner. It also could decrease the desire for sex because it has become so normalized that you might lose interest in having sex with someone else entirely.
Do Men and Women Experience This Differently?
Women feel that masturbation is a waste of time and results in guilt. On one hand, they understand that it isn’t really cheating since they aren’t having sex with another person, but on the other hand, many women feel guilty for indulging in something that doesn’t directly benefit their partner.
However, according to a survey, Ninety-two percent of men and Seventy-six percent of women masturbate in America. Self-pleasuring while watching porn and objectifying the opposite gender can have side effects. It makes people treat others poorly because they see others as objects instead of human beings. This can cause depression, anxiety, shame, and low self-esteem among people who struggle with pornography addiction or sexual dysfunction.
Most importantly, pornography can become addictive like alcohol or drugs if you are not careful about what you watch and what kind of content you choose to watch.
Did You Know…That A Guy Can Be Too Sensitive Down There?
One study from 2006 suggests that excessive masturbation is linked with hypersensitivity in male genitals. The idea behind it, is that repeated masturbation can actually cause your genital nerves to get burned out or irritated, making it harder for you to be stimulated sexually.
If you don’t take a break from watching porn or masturbating every now and then, your genitals may become desensitized over time.
Not exactly something you want going on down there! So what do you do? Well, obviously cutting back on porn or masturbation is a good start (for obvious reasons).
However, if you really want to kick things up a notch and speed up recovery, consider giving your penis some rest by applying ice packs for 20 minutes at a time.
But I Thought It Was Good For My Health?
You see it on TV, hear about it from your friends, and read about it in magazines. You think that watching porn is a healthy activity; after all, don’t those actresses look pretty healthy? Not quite.
After years of consuming porn, men — and women — begin to experience a number of side effects that actually make their health worse. Here are some signs you should be aware of.
With masturbation, people tend to go overboard because they feel like they have total control over what happens. It’s just one more way for them to feel like they can do whatever they want without consequences or restraints — which is not healthy at all.
If you’re struggling with any of these symptoms and thinking that masturbation might be your cure, don’t put off seeking help any longer.
A Little More About Touching Yourself…
As adults, we spend a lot of time worrying about what we can do with our partners. What’s okay? What isn’t? But have you ever stopped to think about whether or not you should be touching yourself in the first place? Is masturbation really that bad for you? The answer is yes. Let’s start with what masturbation does for your body — and then we’ll talk about how it affects your mind.
First off, when you masturbate regularly, you risk burning out your penis. Many men who masturbate too much complain of a condition called desensitization (also known as penile hypo-responsiveness).
It happens when nerve cells within your penis become accustomed to being stimulated over and over again by physical contact (either from self-stimulation or from sex), so they stop responding as much as they normally would when another stimulus comes along.
Does Frequent Ejaculation Impact Fertility?
Ejaculation has been shown to alter hormonal levels in men, which could potentially have a negative impact on fertility. Decreased semen volume is another side effect of frequent ejaculation.
It’s important to remember that none of these studies have conclusively proven that ejaculation causes fertility problems. More research is needed before any conclusions can be drawn.
As such, it’s wise not to make any drastic changes based solely on these studies. If you’re concerned about your fertility, talk with your doctor about how you can increase your chances of conception.
Effects On Your Relationship
Your partner may feel as though you’re more interested in your computer than you are in him/her, which can be frustrating. If you feel your porn or masturbation habit is causing problems in your relationship, it’s time to get help. The earlier you address these issues, the easier they will be to resolve.
Be honest with yourself and with your partner about what you’re feeling and why. Once both of you understand what’s going on, take steps to improve communication between each other.
You might also want to talk to a counselor or therapist for advice on how best to approach things with your partner; sometimes an outsider can see things from a different perspective that makes all the difference in reaching a resolution.
What is Penile Fracture
According to a survey, approximately 100 men die every year because of masturbating too much. The study found that most of these deaths occur due to cardiac arrest or blood pressure problems.
But doctors say that these deaths could be prevented if people used protection while masturbating. So, don’t forget to use protection while watching porn or playing with yourself. If you are using your hand, make sure you wash it before touching any other part of your body.
And remember to always have some kind of protection around when you are jerking off. Being too harsh on your part can cause injury and even death. You should also take breaks during masturbation sessions.
It is not good for your health to play with yourself for hours at a time without taking a break. You should also try not to do it in one sitting as well; instead, spread out your masturbation sessions throughout the day so that you don’t get overly exhausted from doing it all at once.
By saying that I am not suggesting you masturbate, it is just because of that that since you have got an addiction to masturbation and it will take several sessions with your doctor and time to overcome, you need to be very careful with your health.
Do you remember that girl who overnight became a celebrity after her ‘’winking’’ video went viral in India, Priya Prakash, it’s not about her.
However, according to the news one man died watching her winking video, do you know how? Because he masturbated 100 times and was hospitalized in a Delhi hospital following his critical condition, later on, his death was pronounced. Too much of anything is harmful!
Conclusion
So, that’s pretty much it. Our brains get accustomed to whatever stimuli we expose ourselves to, and whether you realize it or not, porn is a prime source of addiction in society. It doesn’t just affect young men. In fact, our research shows that 1 in 5 people addicted to porn are women. One should get rid of it before it’s too late.
