MASTURBATION

Is masturbation addictive? What are the possible solutions

What we're gonna talk about is masturbation first of all we're gonna talk about can it be addictive

and how it's related to corn consumption two we're going to talk about the neuroscience behind

masturbation then we're going to talk about how masturbation impacts your memory your thinking

your anxiety your mental health then we're going to transition into your physical health and talk

about erectile dysfunction then we're going to move on we're going to talk about the relationship

to testosterone we're going to talk about how that how masturbation impacts your sex life

and then finally we are going to talk about how you can stop masturbating if i have inspired you

to contemplate it by the end of this episode so let's dig in masturbation can it be addictive and

how is it related to pornography and you know what we're going to transition right into neuroscience

when we talk about this so absolutely compulsive masturbation is a thing and if you've seen my

youtube channel i take some heat when i talk about masturbation but it's heat i'm willing to take

because i have created a channel on youtube where i tell the world what it needs to hear not what

it wants to hear and i know that many men want to hear that masturbation is harmless that it

doesn't impact anybody it's just a harmless way to de-stress and to you know fill the boredom

of the holes in your schedule and it's a way for you to have a sex life without a partner

you know i've heard it all but the reality is in fact it's coupled and associated with pornography

consumption or the fantasy that results from there of thereof and it is not good for your brain thus

it will impact your mental and emotional health it will impact your physical health and it's going to

show up in your world so in fact masturbation can be addictive and we know that there is compulsive

masturbation so when other professionals are talking about masturbation being fine for you

or even good for you they are not talking about people who struggle with compulsive masturbation

which is the majority of people who masturbate and honestly i just reached out to a professional

and no it's not one that i've talked to on my podcast yet and no it's not a professional should

who should even be talking about masturbation but i'm sure this person is looking for clicks

and if you're listening uh you can search your heart because i'm sure you're looking for clicks

by telling the world that you know masturbation's harmless everybody masturbates there's no shame

surrounding masturbation even though the professional whispered the word masturbation which

assumes there is shame associated with it so you know i won't tell you what you want to hear

which other people are telling you that it's fine and it doesn't impact you or

your relationship because that's bs so yes in fact it could be addictive you can

get in a loop where you need it to feel okay about your life it becomes your number one self-soothing

tool that's the why behind masturbation it has nothing to do with sex for most people and you

might not be aware of that but if you peel the layers back you might find out that that in fact

is true and i'm spitting straight facts there but the neuroscience behind masturbation especially

if you have been consuming pornography the neuroscience behind it is this when you were young

you found pornography in masturbation and you likely found it in a world that's difficult

to exist in right the human existence it is a challenging one in fact so you found porn and

masturbation and it made your brain feel good you felt that rush in your brain it took you

away from the worries of the day or your life it made you feel good for a time you were watching

pornography which was highly exhilarating you were masturbating and it gave you physical stimulation

that you had never felt before
