So like, I used to masturbate almost daily, since I was about 16. nothing too much, just once every two -three days. Then I stopped, and, I felt so much energy, I felt better, mind clearer, could wake up at 7 am, et cetera. basically I felt as healthy as anything you could think of. I didn't think masturbation was the culprit at that time, until recently, I've stopped masturbating for around 5 months because I have a roommate now, and I was feeling really good, physical exercise felt easier, mind was clearer, I felt good and normal talking to other people. I still didn't think anything of it. Then last weekend, I went home to my parent's home, and I was back in my own room, alone. of course I had to masturbate. and the next day, I felt like shit. like literal shit. I did it again on Sunday, and Monday morning yep, felt like shit, tired, angry, easily frustrated, couldn't take the weather, couldn't wake up, even when I was awake I couldn't concentrate.i knew immediately it was the masturbation. it couldn't have been anything else. I didn't change anything else in my lifestyle. Anyone ever felt the same? I did talk about it with one person but that person is christian so like, I'm not sure if his response was tainted by his religious beliefs.
Sorry you feel angry and frustrated after masturbating, something that had never happened to me after masturbating and have masturbated ever day since I was 11 and also a Christian, but it doesn't sound if masturbating would cause you to feel like this, hope everything works out and you continue to enjoy masturbating,
Christianity ….. Long ago I developed the notion that christianity is fine BUT in some of its circles things are taken too far as to use beliefs or opinions to dictate what people should do or think, feel. Hypocrisy. Think of it, the bible says to love and accept one another and (some, or many?) people don’t actually do that. Hypocrisy, blindness, judgment or what not to judge others who are living a decent life. Okay, not everyone lives a decent life but you get the point. Masturbation leaving you exhausted. Doing it all day nonstop??? I never experienced that so it’s expected that or learned about it I don’t understand so I can’t offer any informed answer other than offering questions to try to trigger a connection. Is it caused by a mental process that leaves you feeling guilty and drains you? The way you masturbate?
Guys, I'm not a Christian, in my post I meant that my friend whom I was talking to is christian. I am not.
could you give examples? What kind of thoughts would cause me to feel guilty/drained? And what kind of way of masturbating would cause someone to feel guilty?
I get temporarily exhausted (thank goodness!) but that fades and the day continues. If I masturbate late enough though, like many, I just ride it to sleep.
My answer is based on my opinions, and some things I read and having conversations; which I agree with. Thoughts that could make someone feel guilty as a christian raised strictly and influenced as such would be premarital sex or masturbation. Someone thinking about it or feeling desires, repressing them and feeling bad having thoughts and desires. Maybe an exaggeration that the continued feelings of guilt or shame contribute to drain someone mentally. And there is a connection of mental exhaustion leading to affecting someone physically. If this is far fetched and someone thinks I am consuming something special call me out on this. overmasturbating and feeling drained, tired (?) other ways of feeling guilty would be of a person to have thoughts of having an affair or having committed an affair
I found an article about how masturbation affects the brain. If you have any sexual hang-ups, even non religious, it could be playing a part in your reactions to it, or any kind of trauma being stored in your body, sexual or otherwise. Even poor self esteem could play a part. If you're certain that it's not anything mental or emotional, you might have a hormone imbalance and might want to get then checked.
I wonder if it's because you masturbate or if its just related to your masturbation. I mean it may not be because you do it but because it's not happening fully. Years ago, a friend of mine was living a life of almost enforced celibacy due to her circumstances not being conducive to a proper relationship. She didn't get out much. Her only sexual outlet was masturbation. One day I had a coffee with her, as usual, and she was feeling quite low. Afterwards, I thought I would mention something next time, if she was feeling better. So, I raised the matter and she said that sometimes when she masturbated she would become so frustrated that she would be in tears and other times she would be irritable. Sometimes both. I knew she was quite tired all the time anyway, due to broken sleep, due to her circumstances. I suggested she might not be 'getting there properly' for some reason, perhaps tiredness or something else. She said she did orgasm and it was good but she had those feelings afterwards, but only when she played alone. I suggested she hear me out before responding to my suggestion and she agreed. I asked her if she felt comfortable enough with me, to let me watch her masturbate to see her technique and to see how she felt, after she climaxed. I said I would then stroke her after a few minutes, in an effort to help her climax again. I was hoping she would notice a difference between the two. She thought about it briefly and said yes. She felt her normal frustrated self after the first one and after the second, she felt at ease. We talked. We talked some more and after discussing the next stage of my idea, she let me guide her fingers so that she could learn to masturbate the way I did it and to see if that made things better for her. Coffee visits increased to about three times a week. lol. I was delighted; It was a pleasure for me and after a few weeks she was able to masturbate and she noticed her irritability reduced and she was never close to tears. I found it interesting and pleasing, yet quite sad too, when she explained that, now, when she climaxes she feels happy. She'll often have another a few minutes later. She said that whilst she did have real orgasms previously, before I offered to help, they were much more intense after my help. I wonder if such an experience might help the OP? Or what other women here might suggest. For a long time I have held the view that an orgasm is a cure for many things. It lifts me on a day when I am feeling a little low and haven't masturbated for a few days. Previous girlfriends have masturbated successfully to reduce/eliminate a headache. I knew an older woman for a few months who had epilepsy and was quite spiky when speaking about her BFs and ex-husband. She hadn't had sex for over 20yrs. That led to some quite interesting conversations including that she had suppressed her sexual needs entirely. She didn't masturbate because it was never good enough and frustrated her too much and it was easier just not to do it. After more conversation about that as well as about the epilepsy, she humoured me. She agreed to cum everyday for a month and to find out if her seizures were less frequent. She recorded her seizures in a book each time she collapsed. Well, afterwards, when she came around. However, she said she wouldn't masturbate and that she would like me to bring her to orgasm. In that month, whereas previously she had a seizure every 3 or 4 days, that month she had just one. I wasn't able to persuade her to masturbate or to let me show her how I do it so she could achieve more on her own. She gave me the classic, "I don't need to do it when you're here" but now I'm not, I wonder sometimes what she does. Masturbation, clearly, is about much more than stroking ourselves into a state. There's a lot of chemical and hormonal effects in our brains so it's important to be sure we do it to the best of our ability!
I find that I have to have at least 2 orgasms a day or I’m too tired to function. It’s weird but i can’t sleep deeply enough if I don’t have enough of a release. The nights when I get to bed early enough to have multiple wanks I find I I still need one when I wake up but then I’m ok to start the day. When I don’t wank before sleep I can’t seem to get enough in the morning
