The Effects of Masturbation on Your Brain

[@Psych2go]

How did you guys feel about this video? Any feedback or comments about the writing or animation? Let us know! We love to hear your thoughts❤

[@DonaldRichards-mr3lz]

Masturbation could be seen as any other bad habit Go for a walk , ride a bike , skate board , word search puzzle just do something that is good for you . sex and orgasm is what connects two people of the opposite sex with each other in a very deep way .

[@heather_foreather]

Very good 👍

[@RandomUser65213]

I didn’t watch the full vid, but watching corn white stimulating sex causes a chemical reaction in your brain the convinces you that you have a stronger bond with the person in the video, which causes an addiction due to that connection that causes a positive stimulation in the brain. Better to just go on a run whenever you get the urges to see them as a punishment or transfer the positive thoughts from when you feel like beating it into positive thoughts when you exercise and make it way better for yourself. Just my thoughts:) Edit: jsyk I didn’t watch the vid so these are just my thoughts from what ik rn.

[@allesaufanfang-sarah]

@@DonaldRichards-mr3lz couldn't have said it better.

[@kayefbutterfly]

I think it's so addictive because it's one of the easiest and most accessible ways to just make yourself feel an emotion that distracts us from *actually* getting our messed up life together and make a meaning out of it. Our brain gets exhausted just from looking at the amount of hard work we need to invest in our life to make it better, so we just choose to have an orgasm instead of taking care of our own life.

[@insight1239]

It's addictive because it releases dopamine to your brain, a high compared to normal activities during the day

[@haganeelric98]

Also, it's an activity that doesn't require too much time. Add this to the easy accessibility already mentioned and you have something easily addictive.

It Is all our society's fault

[@kayefbutterfly]

@Glauco.gloster2007 I think Society is the culprit for the extra layer of shame/guilt many people feel during post-nut clarity. Because masturbation is seen as peculiar and a laughing subject when it's literally not. So, not discussing it at all only leads to people struggling with an addiction and not knowing how to get out of it while drowning in shame.

[@FlufLord]

I appreciate that this isn't another "here's why it's bad" video. It feels more like a "this might be why you struggle with it" video, which feels empowering, rather than shaming. At least that's how I took it.

Nah bro, this thought or the whole train of thought has been in me after 3 months I properly started doing it !

The only ones who don't get that thought are the people who are Doing well, in/with whatever they want to, & at least 1 & at most All the close people to them appreciate them with whatever they do, or are going to do, or have done, AND They don't regret Almost ANY Of their decision, WHAT-SO-EVER!! Only those people don't get these thoughts, and I've asked, a couple of people who fit that category, & they tell me, on some days they've done masturbation for 5 to 8 times ! So yeah, these thoughts ARE NORMAL, FOR EVERYONE, Except for some people, and let me tell you, out of those some people, 97% of those are narcissistic, individualistic, self-before-anything and with many OTHER psychological problems!!

I think a guide to most pleasures in life (like masturbation) can be summed up very simply: Use. Don't abuse.

[@RamadonPiano]

People are demonizing porn and masturbation is crazy.

[@iPlayOnSpica]

@@RamadonPiano Porn does tend to have a much more negative effect on people and society. Most pornographic videos are choreographed scenes that do not reflect how real life sex, if done right, actually works. It's too rough/violent on both male and female sensitive parts, the "action" often comes too fast and early without proper foreplay, and there's usually no love or romance involved (which, if you have sex lacking love and romance, you are severely damaging your ability to have healthy relationships.) Then there are unrealistic standards for how genitals should look like, even though ones with "unideal shapes and colors" would still be otherwise perfectly healthy. Lastly, well... obviously, a person exposing themselves to the whole world does kind of hurt their dignity... 😅

[@RamadonPiano]

@@iPlayOnSpica That's only if you view porn in that way. We all know porn is fake, but you don't have to emulate porn in your sex life. Some people like it rough/violent lol. It's also strange to think that all porn has to be about love. Sex in of itself doesn't have to be about love. In fact I'd argue sex is a biological mechanism for reproducing. Love is a modern concept. There is nothing wrong with hooking up and enjoying yourself with someone, even if it's only for one night. Plenty of couples enjoy porn and in of itself is entertainment and nothing more. The people who compulsively use it and allow themselves to be consumed by it is a problem on its own. Just like gun. It's not the guns that cause crime. It's the owner. There are plenty of sex workers who don't give a shit. It doesn't hurt your dignity. It damages your reputation because society isn't open-minded enough to be tolerant of such an industry.

[@thesteph8925]

@@RamadonPianonot arguing against your own willpower to control yourself and not be consumed by masturbation but for the general majority of men, using porn can become extremely addictive for them. Telling them to use it in moderation is like telling coke addicts to use coke in moderation.

[@Mezame9]

Yeah. I don't demonize it at all. In my opinion it's a natural and healthy thing to do. But like most things in life, it's fine and healthy so long as you stop when it becomes unhealthy or injurious. Then when you're better you can resume, hopefully with a few lessons learned :D @@RamadonPiano

Iv been doing this for years and realized yeah im doing it for these reasons but no one talked about it the same way i suspected is the reason for me doing it. After all these years i felt like wow im not in this alone. Thanks for the video

[@mufinboi975]

It was an addictive habit and it did start to have a negative affect as i craved for that feeling almost constantly. I was able to moderate to the point where i could continue my life without having it be ruined by masturbation. But i still did it excessively. And now at this point of a few years of that. Im just kinda tired. Like the feelings and stuff are still there but theres nothing new so ive sorta gotten bored and/or been searching for new ways of pleasuring myself. But also its allowed me to find pleasure in finding other things that arent masturbation that i really enjoy. My mental health is questionable but its not terrible. So im kinds just burned out from the almost constant masturbation for years. Very interesting video and learned about new things that it can have. Very cool👍

You should talk more about this. There's lots of misinformation on internet, most of which has ideological or religious postures.

it's also always difficult to tackle that up to 10% of the population can experience it as detrimental to them or addictive, while (as it seems) the other group sees it as something just neutral or even positive

[@eljaminlatour6633]

The only problem with it is that it's seen as a taboo by both religions and cultures, despite having benefits.

[@-._.-KRiS-._.-]

Which doesn't make sense if you think about it. Why create human beings to be biologically sexual if They didn't want us to be biologically sexual? The answer 'only in marriage' doesn't work because marriage is a human concept that varies from culture to culture. If marriage was a divine concept, there wouldn't be any variations on it, and there wouldn't be any need for legal paperwork.

[@eljaminlatour6633]

@@-._.-KRiS-._.- true, also churches don't allow anyone of higher authority like priests to have sexual or romantic relationships, maybe to make them saints and more holy than those who have sex, it sounds good on paper, but this leads to certain issues, like sexual abuse to others. My Mom was a former Catholic, and she was with a guy of higher authority, and the guy started groping her, eventually the guy refused to become a priest, and had his own family.

I fell into this trap when I was around 12 years old or so. I didn't have a very strong social life to distract me from the world of pornography, and stressors at home, coupled with no social life in school and a desire to fit in reeled me into this. I'm 31 now and I've come to that point in my life where I want nothing more than to cease this and pursue something better. It's difficult, 'nuff said.

@@enfpgirlis pooping good or bad? It depends. It just is. The judgement is contextual and even then it depends on your perspective like is it bad for an addict who copes with their ptsd jorkin it to prevent ending it? Etc The same way pooping too much becomes an issue and too little is a different problem. And for whom? An adult maybe it’s weird but what about a very old person who doesn’t even eat that much anymore? Or a baby who poops all day Etc etc

Number 5 is such an important one as many people still don't think its possible to be addicted to these things and are blind to the negative effects as a result

[@stravvman]

The thing people using the "addiction" language don't get is the consequences of using such language. Unlike drugs and alcohol, sexuality is a part of human nature and important aspect of many people's identity. So "addiction" discourse only alienate people from their own sexuality, which would result in shame and guilt. So it's probably not the "negative effects" that lead you to your anti-masturbation views, but the other way around.

4. Sorry, but for chronic pain sufferers, an orgasm can be better than opiates. There's a time and place, always, but it's really one of the best painkillers ever.

[@hicknopunk]

Better? I am not sure. But in a pinch, sure. Do you take pregabalin? It is a nice med to enhance the duration of your other meds.

[@jld4870]

Very very short lived relief. There are other ways of relieving pain…non pharmaceutical. Takes just a google search and some discipline to be consistent with alternative ways of pain management.

[@zakosist]

@@hicknopunk not sure if its better for actually reducing the pain, but its better in terms of being less harmful for your body. And you generally build up tolerance to drugs if you take them over time, so they dont work as well

As a chronic pain sufferrer, I can attest to that.

[@xanderxxvblaze]

Your problems won't be solved if you keep running away from them. It's not like distracting yourself will make your problems solve themselves. No. Let go of fear. It's poison. Stop expecting things to be easy. There's pain in this world. That's reality. Accept the truth & iIt will guide you. If porn & masturbation really were the panaceas that you needed then you clearly would not be feeling guilty. But you are feeling guilty...cuz you're soul knows you're doing something when you should be doing something else. I read somewhere & this really stuck with me. I can't remember the exact words but it went something like - "When you live in fear & runaway whenever you feel afraid everything else you do becomes a cope for not facing your fears."

dont say you lost, start from really small steps and work your way up, dont rush it, i dont know how much is much and how little is little but lets say you do it 3 times a day, then even just try 1 day of the week only 1 time till you can expand it, or make it so you make a limit to it, so if its 3/day, dont go higher. making a limit even if its very low could give you a sense of control, which you can use to slowly fix your problem. this comes from a random guy on the internet with no knowledge whatsoever and only what seems logical and would work for me, but i hope this helps and you can in the future look at this comment knowing how much you have changed 👍
