    One doc wouldn't even offer me to buy pills. Instead I would have had to buy them illegally from questionable sources if I wanted them.
    The same doc didn't even look at my genitals or did any kind of check up, he didn't even ask me questions about my health to find potential causes for my problem.

    The medical industry is disgusting. Take care of your health, guys, because doctors might not want to help you if it's too late.

  3. You haven’t experienced some of the negative effects as bad as others. The point is that doctors and every health website says it’s healthy which is one reason why
    The point is doctors and “experts” say masturbation is healthy. So when we realize something is wrong with PMO, many of us turn to outside sources, to those doctors and experts and they tell us masturbation is healthy so we then continue with our PMO habits for many years not even really knowing something is wrong. That’s what happened to me. At 15, i started feeling something not right and if someone had just told me clear cut that masturbation and porn were BAD, then I could have shifted my mindset, but instead i got so many people saying it’s fine and everyone does it and it’s heathy that i stayed unaware for a few more years

    You're calling my comments ignorant yet you haven't done anything to actually refute them. My comment about height is correct, any doctor and reseacher you'd ask would tell you that there's no proven scientific link between masturbation and growth.

    Again, I've already explained this once - I've never heard any doctor claiming that porn and/or excessive masturbation are healthy. They say masturbation is healthy and normal, but not excessive masturbation. Excessive masturbation is known to be harmful both psychologically and physically, any doctor would tell you this much and any doctor who actually respects himself would tell you that it's bad to do it excessively with or without porn. Again - these are known facts.

    You're shifting the blame on your doctors because one or a few of them told you that it's ok to masturbate. Fact is, most people on this planet masturbate regularly or used to do so at some point in their lives, yet, they lead normal lives and are functioning members of society. We happen to be a minority who took it too far, be it for underlying issues that we've had that made us resort to porn as some gateaway drug to escape our daily suffering or some people who just took it too far because they weren't careful and decided to watch porn for hours instead of doing productive things until it reached a point where it ruined their lives.

    These are facts. Whether you like it or not. That being said(so I won't be taken out of context yet again) - for addicts like ourselves it is not ok and we should avoid porn and masturbation indefinitely. Porn has no real benefits and can't do much beside harming people like ourselves and in some cases those who participate in creating it.

    Also remember that many like me started watching porn at 7 or 8 years old and had no problem gaining access to it due to how new the internet was and how ignorant people were/are to the potential dangers of it. I think it’s a harder case to make that it is our fault when porn is so available that kids can get hooked on it years before they are even masturbating to it like was the case with me. I would say I was addicted before I ever even masturbated. Then you grow up learning that porn helps you discover your sexuality and that it’s a normal curiosity and doctors are unaware of the dangers and encourage masturbation to a whole generation of kids who already use porn and don’t know masturbation without porn so they infer that the doctor is telling them this behavior is normal and healthy.
     
  7. There is a lot doctors know, but for the most part the human body is still too complex for doctors to fully comprehend. Most neurotransmitters aren't even discovered yet and as long as the human nervous system remains shrouded in mystery, doctors can't really make any sort of claim when it comes to masturbation or porn. Besides porn is a recent thing, unfortunately we're the first generations that are involved with high speed internet porn, so it will take a while for politics and the medical world to fully grasp how porn addiction can affect the mental and physical wellbeing of a person. All I know is that boards like these are a step in the right direction... You could compare it to climate change: the effects aren't fully apparent until it's too late. As with smoking, one wank doesn't hurt, but the repitition that is involved in addiction most certainly does hurt. Prevention is key and it's up to doctors to start realizing porn addiction is a real problem and any kind of exposure to pornography automatically increases the addiction rates.
