Shaking, Shivering, Trembling

I've never had this happen to me, and I've never seen anybody else write about this.

It does sound like a good reason to quit, though.

 

It's not unheard of. See knee-trembler (sex standing up). I'd guess it's something to do with adrenaline. Continuing to do it for long periods probably isn't good for you though. Also a guess.

 

Yes I've had this happen to me before if I've been PMOing most of the day and ejaculated several times. I can even get severe asthmatic issues too.

What can I say, it's simply not good for your health in general to PMO constantly no matter what some may say. It harms all aspects of your health from the brain down.

 

I have exactly the same problem. When I get very aroused my body starts to tremble and it's impossible to get the erection. I first experienced this when I watched some softcore erotic movies in my teen years, also when I tried to have the real sex. I remember once girl asking me if it's so cold in the bedroom. I was never able to overcome this. It has nothing to do with withdrawals, I think it's just a very sensitive nervous system. Some kind of 'short circuit' in the brain coming from extreme over-excitement.

I think it might be that I teached myself to get excited from very mild sexual triggers in my teen years and everytime I experience stronger sexual excitement the brain gets 'short circuited' and it's impossible to maintain the erection. Sometimes premature ejaculation can be caused from your very first sexual experiences when you teach yourself to ejaculate very quickly when masturbating in insecure environment (having the lack of privacy for example). But I must admit that this theory doesn't look very valid for me, I think this over-excitement has more to do with overall brain sensitivity for sexual triggers.

 

Not unless you are using porn or masturbating while you do it. Sex with wife is what you should be doing.

 

No, as long as it's mutual and loving sex. If the sex is pornographic, then it's only going to continue the downwards spiral for you and your wife.

Of course it may be a problem if you want to become a celibate

 

If you get an asthma attack with it my bet would be adrenaline. Adrenaline increases blood pressure. Histamine reduces blood pressure and can be released to counteract adrenaline. Histamine can trigger asthma.

@Gota @TenderCrisp Maybe you have essential tremor which can be exacerbated by stressful situations. Stress can be good (roller coaster ride) or bad (being attacked by a goblin).

 

I used to think that it might be related to my social anxiety and stress I experience when getting intimate with someone, but I think it's not the case, because I had exactly the same symptoms when watching porn alone. I just get exited to the point when I'm starting to shake and immediatily loose the erection. The theory about 'positive stress' looks very interesting and logical, never heard about this before. Usually when having body tremor I also experience symptoms like dry mouth, thirst and these are, no doubt, related to the nervous system. I would say that I feel like being under very heavy stress. I doubt it's essential tremor because when I have ordinary stress I rarely get any tremor. And for me the real problem is not the tremor, the problem is not being able to get hard in these situations. This led me to perfomance anxiety and I started to avoid and fear sex.

 

Bro, You are not alone. I am from India. Myself I have the same problem and I know plenty of Indians post the same shakyhand, shaky neck, ed complaints comments under youtube videos in regional language. I feel shakishakiness all the time (very noticeable when anxious) and consulted a neurologist, he said it is 'essential tremor'...
It was very less when I was on a hard mode stream for 60 days.. we have burnt out our stuff ( according to Indian medicine Ayurveda- semen is what gives men courage and stability ).It has similarities with alcoholism withdrawal but ours is more like parkinsonism as The Neuro plasticity is huge.. The cure for tremor is Creating new positive Neuro plasticity by changchanging life style ( NoFap hard mode for six months). Take 2000 mg fish oil daily, amino acid supplementation for 2 months.. exercise!! All the best.

 

This happens to me as well when I have not relapsed for a while and then am about to relapse to something that really excites me. It has never caused any performance issues though and if anything the opposite. I never thought much about it and just that my body was getting really over hyped from the rush of dopamine/adrenaline . I could be wrong. Now that I think of it though, I dont like that it happens and Im going to try to take it as a sign that i am about to seriously relapse.

 

This post describes me the same way.

 

You always have signaling going to your muscles from the brain, however they are faint signals so they ether have no effect or just keep the muscle in "tone". Stimulants or stimulating experiences increase brain activity and overall signaling strength increases, same signals that kept your muscles in healthy tone, are now much stronger and sometimes trigger contractions, the more overstimulated the brain - the stronger this effect, eventually ending up in full seizure, if taking drugs or brain is unable to calm itself down.

Any strong emotional state, like nervousness, joy or fear stimulate the brain and involuntary shaking presents itself.

Large release of dopamine also suppresses sensation of pain, making many experiences we would normally find uncomfortable - stimulating. Shaking can be unconscious way to increase arousal so pay close attention to that.

 

This also happens to me. When I relapse after a longer time (7+ days) in the first and second occasion my legs and my whole body starts to shake like crazy. My heart starts to beat fast, and I got an overall anxiety / near panic attack feeling. I think it is connected to adrenaline release. It is also a sign that your brain started to go back to its normal function in the days you abstained from masturbation. But you violently broke this calm regeneration phase with porn use. And we know this is an extreme stimulation to the brain and the adrenaline surge does this.

When I got this shaking I feel like a total heroin addict. It's very absurd. My body "wants the drug" (porn) but my body is so addicted to this, it starts to go crazy. Trembling, shaking, shivering. The first couple days after this are also bad: I'm constantly anxious and sometimes I have a panic attack (this is new to me, I never had a panic attacks before). But after 3-4 calm days without PMO, my body goes back to normal, and the anxiety disappears!!

Basically this is a sign that we are addicts. The only solution is to abstain form porn consumption for a long period of time. We all know this. Keep going brothers!

 

I have experienced the same shit, so anybody got a solution? What am I supposed to do at 2 am when I get these sahkes

 

Don't give in. Start your journey of no PMO and it'll go away. I've been there and I can say it the trembling was the exciment vs. the thought that I knew I shouldn't do it.
