Dangers Of Masturbation

Hi,

I have seen a youtube video claim Masturbtion destroys dopamine receptors in the brain. They claim it slowly destroys our capacity to experience happiness. I don't know if I'm allowed to post youtube link, so I haven't, Can anyone confirm what is being said? video title Is 'How porn addiction destroys your brain and why you must fix this immediately' and Harvard scientist explains what porns does to your brain'

FTR I have been masturbating since past 20 year and do feel glum most of the time but can't confirm it to be due to masturbation.

I have been masturbating for 64 years, and I am as happy as can be!

I LOVE IT!

 

your Hand could slip of your Knob and give you a black eye !

 

or someone could come in Unexpected and you could zipper your Willy !

 

"you'll shoot your eye out kid!"

 

I think that would probably only happen if someone excessively masturbates. Like a sex addict or something. And the depression might be there before they masturbate, because you can't be all that happy if you're addicted to something.

 

I suspect it's more complicated than that. Simply masturbating isn't going to cause problems with dopamine receptors. Addictive behavior can result in the lower dopamine levels seen in depression and anxiety but unless you're talking about mastribating to the point of addiction I don't suspect you'd compromise your happiness

Well, you tried it just for once found it all right for kicks
But now you found out that it's a habit that sticks
And you're an orgasm addict, you're an orgasm addict
Sneaking in the back door with dirty magazines
Now your mother wants to know 'bout all those stains on your jeans
And you're an orgasm addict, you're an orgasm addict
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh
Uh, uh, uh
You get in a heat, you get in a sulk
But you still keep a-beating your meat to pulp
And you're an orgasm addict, you're an orgasm addict
You're a kid Casanova, you're no Joseph
It's a labor of love fucking yourself to death
Orgasm addict, you're an orgasm addict
Uh huh, uh
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
You're makin' out with school kids
Winos and heads of state
You even made it with the lady
Who puts the little plastic bobbins on the Christmas cakes
Butchers' assistants and bellhops
You've had them all here and there
Children of God and their joy strings
International women with no body hair
Ooh, so whether you're asking in an alley and your voice ain't steady
Your sex mechanic's rough, you're more than ready
You're an orgasm addict, you're an orgasm addict
Johnny want fuckie always and all ways
He's got the energy, he will remain
He's an orgasm addict, he's an orgasm addict
He's always at it
He's always at it
And he's an orgasm addict
He's an orgasm addict

 

Here's a Who song that's quite fitting for this topic.

nurse, doctor, biochemist, neurological research scientist, addiction counsellor, psychologist, -hmmm what can she be

 

causes blindness

 

None of the above though I suppose you're in the neighborhood

 

I'll keep working on it, Kerri - I know you're smart - the greatest aphrodisiac on the planet. Ahem - more to the point, glad you made the point you did or I'd be beyond suicidal by now . . . and . . . if dopamine receptor sites were compromised what would it mean for serotonin and norepinepthrine sites - gosh - one would be way way down Dante's descending lowerarchy

 

Haha evolution would not have allowed garden variety masturbation to result in chemical imbalance. What a divine comedy of molecular entropy that would be!

 

Exquisite riposte

 

i haven't watched the video or anything, but i will say that porn and masturbation are not synonyms.

 

So that's why I need glasses after 40 years of self abuse.

 

Chemical imbalance of what?
Are you assuming that the relative chemical composition is supposed to be static?
Isn't it possible that (like the inter-tidal zone) that an influx of certain chemicals followed by their decrease is needed for health. And masturbation is a driver of that chemical ebb and flow.

If men don't masturbate enough, the penis gets clogged with dried semen. And a clogged penis is not a good thing.
