Right chaps, porn/masturbation - talk to me.

How much is healthy, how much is excessive, can you do it too much, can you cause yourself damage..?

Clearly related to Brain & Body, so this thread begins..

As sexual beings we get much satisfaction from exercising our sex drive, indeed it helps us grow as we understand more about ourselves. But is there a point when it becomes unhealthy..

I want to know your thoughts, and any knowledge that backs it up would be super..

A quick search on good old wiki not so fruitful, almost half articles written on the subject (but linked for your reference)

Pornography addiction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sexual addiction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Many moons ago I was in Waterstones and I came upon a book called the porn trap in the self improvement section.

A quick flick through the pages, the book had some very useful insights into the long term effects on the psyche of continued porn viewing (creating anxiety, insecurities, tension etc) and the nature of the addiction escalating, starting for most at soft then escalating to hard then fetish over time.

Really wanted to buy this book, but looked over at the counter and there was a young girl on the till, next time I said - which never came..

Have since found it on the net and may purchase it, as to be honest - I WATCH FAR TOO MUCH PORN AND MASTURBATE MORE THAN I'D LIKE TO.

Anyway, over to you guys. How's the old porn and lube going for you these days?

Back in the day when I could afford to see whores, I masterbated too. Everything turned out fine until I saw a post in the London forums about how masterbation can really ruin your sex drive so don't do it! I thought I would try to refrain.

After refraining, when back with my regular whore, my hardons weren't as hard, and I only came once rather than twice in the same time Refraining from wanking nearly ruined me! So from then on I vowed, if I'm not having sex (through no choice of my own), I will endeavour to cum at least twice a week. This is good for your prostate (good evidence it prevents cancer), it's good exercise, and keeps you sexually active. However, it's pointless having a wank just before you go out sarging!

Yeah i've also heard wanking is good for your prostate reducing your risks of prostate cancer by up to 30%. I'm 2/3 times a week at the moment, wouldn't mind cutting down on that but considering when I was a hormone enraged 15/16 year old it was 2/3 times a day! so that's progress!

Definately don't wank before hitting the town, it reduces your sex drive apparently, I wouldn't advise wanking at least 2 days before you go out sarging. You want to increase those sex drives to such an intensity that when you're 'gagging for it' you're going to work even harder on that night out to obtain it.

Interesting. I also wonder if it has the potential to make you come across as needy or desperate though. However, I think I'm with you on this mate. I recall one wkd last summer at a street festival, when I hadn't wanked for a whole week, and it made me feel a lot more sexually charged with a hot girl I was hanging out with. It was pretty intense!

I was talking to my friend about this and he was saying how he had blown his 'wank fuse' and he had to watch more and more full on filthy porn. He then got into vintage porn and couldn't cum unless he was watching some untrimmed bushes.

I've got another friend who's into some well dodgy stuff (crapping and that kind of thing), his brother found some and e-mailed it to his mum!

Its also about porn K, but personally I feel more comfortable discussing this here than with my doctor who I'm too busy to see anyway.

I also wanna cut down, so a bit of support would go a long way - SHOW YOUR SUPPORT NOW KOWALSKI!!!!!!

Xxx

in the words of Jay Cartwright, Inbetweeners

i need to release the valve a couple of times a day.

My FB has been away for like 3 weeks now....

also, if im gna go out, i dont do it!

also i try and avoid doing it after a heavy lagering session, that can play hell up with the valve engineering.....

I've heard, which means that this is by no means necessarily true, that wanking regularly causes fatigue. I try and keep it to 2 - 3 times a week, but that's bloody difficult when your'e not getting any poochie!

so its not ok to hang from a door handle by my neck with a whip tied to the end of a drill so it smacks your ass 10 times a second whilst jerking off?

Dude, chill out. I did start off this thread hoping to get some evidence, experiential or other wise, and I quote,

As someone with a very high sex drive, it interests me and I dont wanna turn out like the guy Tom mentioned

Scary stuff..

I cant Kowalski, the only time I dont watch porn is when im near you.

But Im taking the hustler 30 day challenge and am hopeful..
