It was not too long ago when the act of m3sturbation was a taboo topic. Not only was it frowned upon as a dirty and inappropriate deed, it was highly discouraged. Move forward to today and m3sturbation is seen as a completely natural thing.
In fact, doctors don’t see anything wrong with a person choosing to pleasure him or herself. Gloria Brame, Ph.D., a clinical s33xologist, considers m3sturbation as, “part of a healthy s33x life. It’s totally safe and harmless.”
Reaching orgasm through m3sturb3tion has its benefits as it makes people happy. Chemicals like dopamine and oxytocin are released when you clim3x making you feel satisfied and positive about life. As much fun as you may be having playing with yourself, there is such a thing as m3sturb3ting too much.
#1. You are causing physical pain to your nether regions.
If you are making your skin chaff, you may be doing it too hard. Men can cause a condition called Peyronie’s disease, a buildup of plaque when the penis is injured causing it to bend.
#2 If You don’t care about the quality but rather focus on the number of times you get to do it.
You are either bored or are trying to beat the previous number of most orgasms from m3sturb3ting. This is not a competition, it’s just s33x.
#3. m3sturb3ting gets in the way of you actually having s33x.
There is nothing wrong with m3sturb3ting but it does not need to replace the actual intimate and physical connection of two people.
#4. When you combine m3sturb3ting and P00RN it can affect your personal s33x life.
Men who masturbate while watching P00RN heighten their visual stimulation, craving more and more. Consequently, the response and intimacy with an actual partner is affected because P00RN will turn him on more.
#5. Other parts of your life begin to suffer.
If you are avoiding getting together with friends or are late for work because you are satisfying yourself, that is a problem. Pleasuring yourself should never get in the way of your social life and work.
#6 You are not enjoying yourself in other parts of your life because you keep thinking about the next time you get to pleasure yourself.
If you are distracted by constant thoughts of m3sturbation you may be dealing with a behaviour problem. You need to talk to someone.
#7. You can’t stop m3sturb3ting and when you are not doing the act, it’s on your mind constantly.
An addiction can be anything from alcohol, gambling, and s33x. If m3sturb3ting is getting in the way of your life and you can’t control it, it’s time you seek help from a professional like a therapist or s33x addiction counselor.
