      When man or boys are in excessive habit of doing it. The body capacity to built testosterone gets hampered and can be one possible reason for low sperm count.
      If you're overdoing it . It might impact on your sexual life. This is bcoz stroking your penis teaches a solo act to your brain and once you doing frequently, your brain and body gets off only in your solo response.

      SAY NO TO PORNOGRAPHY: Pornography is a mental driving agent for people who masturbate a lot. Avoid pornograpic images videos and searching for websites that can get you back in that thinking.
      Divert your mind and doing something else is one way that will help you. Begin working on your personal goals and tell yourself that you will achieve it. It does keep you strong. This will help you place your energy on other things and never leave you thinking of masturbating.

    • @unnatdave5709
      @unnatdave5709 Před rokem

      @@lonaxarisowadhan8726 For starters I would recommend you to engage in any activity which excites you the way you get excited by thinking about masturbation. Any high dopamine activity can be replaced with another which gives almost the same amount of dopamine. Just ensure that the activity is healthy in some form. For me it was going to the gym almost everyday, listening to music and playing online games with my friend(atleast I socialized with one person regularly). If possible, atleast let someone know about your problem because that way the person atleast you can share to someone when in the need of help. Also getting an accountability partner will help remove the notion of secrecy and private which encourages oneself in engaging in bad habits. Do not go on about searching about how to avoid watching porn as that will make your brain think about porn and you end up in the same situation. For like first 3-4 weeks avoid even the smallest of triggers. For me even the image of a girl in a tank top and shorts made my brain go to places where I did not want it to go. Start doing things which make you feel clean like for me I shower 2 times a day, hit the gym everyday or atleast do some physical activity, eat healthy(no junk or processed sugar foods). Lastly, if possible try to be as less shameful and guilty when relapsing.
      Honestly for me nothing has worked better for me than hitting the gym as it induces positive feelings and thoughts and on top of that I'm already too exhausted even for my dick to get hard. All the best bro and I believe that you can do it. Just have faith in yourself.

      Scientific? Where does Dr. Trish Leigh cite a single study--the journal, name of the researcher and specific conclusion? She claims that research on the prostate and masturbation is inconclusive--again without giving a source for that belief--but does not mention this from the National Institute of Health which negates her conclusion about masturbation:
      "Despite the lack of evidence for negative health effects of masturbation, abstinence from masturbation is frequently recommended as a strategy to improve one’s sexual
      self-regulation."
      Similarly, Exton et. al. in 2001 suggested.
      "On the level of physiological outcomes, thus, there is currently no evidence for any beneficial effects of abstinence from masturbation (notwithstanding endocrinological effects like an increase in serum testosterone.)"
      One more? This is from "The Archives of Sexual Behavior":
      "Recent psychological evidence in 2020 contradicted myths that excessive masturbation triggers health risks (such as reduced sperm quality in men). Most recently, studies suggest the activity can have effects on someone’s psychological health and well-being. There isn’t a defined amount of masturbation that’s “too much.”
      I have yet to see one of this woman's videos, which ultimately are sales pitches to buy her courses, in which she cites research specifically.

    Can’t tell you how true this is. I’ve gone from perpetually limp, to confident and “girthy” on its own. The masturbation addiction took hold of my life in my 20s, it’s a devastating rabbit hole to go down. I can’t tell you how fucking exciting it is to be in control of my sexuality again, it gives the penis the freedom to be healthy and natural (instead of be enslaved to the mind’s carnal whims.) that shit is a deep rabbit hole, man..
    Edging is still a little bit of a problem. But I can pull myself out of it so much better now. My confidence with women is so much better. I smile to myself whenever I get a random slight erection during the day. Because it’s my sexuality normalizing itself again. I was so ashamed and embarrassed when I hit rock bottom (around 28 years old), this is such a hard journey- pun intended, because you get hard as the reward! Keep going strong, guys. I hope my testimony serves as motivation and extra discipline for some of you that are still in the thick of it.

      Masturbating relaxes them for a while but creates a negative stigma towards themselves.

      2. Difficulty in performing real sexual intercourse
      3. Low sperm count
      4. Premature ejaculation
      5. Semen leakage
      6 . Weak erection
      7. You lose concentration on work or studies
      8. Loss of memory
      9. You become pervert
      10. low self esteem

Dr. Trish...I am grateful how forthcoming and honest you are in this video explaining everything and not sugar-coating the facts. I'm approaching my mid-50s, and I've had this chronic addiction of masturbating to porn since I was about 15 years old. A bit of personal history... I was sexually abused by my biological father between the ages of 10 and 14. I know that plays a part in this addiction, but I really want to regain my focus and have a sharper memory. My wife is supportive of whether I want to quit or not, but she knows I'm devastated by this behavior.

    I’ve been a chronic masturbator since a teenager, I’m talking upwards to 7 times a day if I’m home alone. I’ve ripped skin down in my private area and still wasn’t enough to stop me, made me go more just from the fear of not being able to. I’m now 32. I have to work 10x harder with my wife now to finish than if i was to “take” care of myself. I don’t feel the same as i once used to and i feel disgusted with myself now. I am one week clean of touching myself now but clearly it’s getting difficult because that’s how i discovered this video in this moment. I’ve recently stopped chewing tobacco from something I’ve loved doing for 11 years and I’m 33 days clean on that so i have what it takes to not let it control me.

    Dr. Trish Leigh!
    You are doing a noble job to protect the mankind (especially new generation) from disasters of excessive masturbation and porn addiction by telling the truth about real harms of porn addiction and excessive masturbation. Very good job. I appreciate it. Keep it up. My God bless you and always guide you in the right path.

    This is sometimes too much to digest. But everything you're saying is correct. It's difficult to recognise this flat out, because we only have it running around at the back of our head, while we watch porn. When our conscious should be aware of this so that we can make the quick decision to not watch porn.
    The hours I waste to porn...sucks...but I can only go forward.

    One thing that really helped me quit masturbating was cutting down caffeine. Caffeine triggers a fight or flight response in our brain (adrenal glands), which can trigger anxiety. I often turned to masturbation to temporarily cope with anxiety. My anxiety is so much less after cutting down caffeine, as is the compulsion to masturbate. Not sure if anyone else has had a similar effect.
