    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!

    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

    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!

    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.
