    Hi. I want to find out how destructive Masturbation is ( and is it destructive?) without porn? I understand that it was porn that destroyed my brain. Porn made me impotent. But when I masturbated at 14-16 years old (without porn), I did it 2-3 times a week and the potency was normal. So how harmful is Masturbation without watching sex?

    I had a period of abstinence up to 2 weeks (without Masturbation and porn), but then I broke down and felt severe pain in my prostate and eggs, and noticed it every time I abstained from this habit for a long time. I think that this is a reaction to my body, which I have trained to get an orgasm with a certain frequency. I am still afraid of the pain that may occur. I am abstaining from porn at the moment. Is this correct?

  2. Hi aga. The issue is not whether masturbation is harmful per se, rather, it is about its affect on you and your life, your sense of wellbeing, and how it fits (or doesn't) your lifestyle and sense of self. Its like asking if drinking alcohol is harmful: for some it is, for many it is not. Masturbation is factually not harmful in itself. The question is, are you happy with things as they are? Be your own person, decide for yourself.

    Kind regards.

    I would say that yes, it is destructive because for us addicts, it almost never stays alone. It invites porn in. Maybe not full blown hardcore porn right off the bat, but it will almost always get to that eventually.

    my doctor said masturbation should only be done max twice a week and without porn. he also said masturbation without ejaculating (edging) is dangerous for health, but i didnt ask for details

    but i can tell you, that as a person who never had any genital issues, i now have stuff like varicoceles, spermatoceles, maybe even other issues that im not aware of too. i am 100% sure its related to my edging problem. please dont go down this road, u will physically hurt yourself

    Just curious, and this may be none of my business, but when your doctor told you that, was he aware that you have this addiction? It just doesn't seem like something a medical professional would say to an addict. NOT judging you in any way, by the way.

    i live in a country where porn, masturbation and sex in general is taboo.so it was afraid to tell the doctor everything but he was understanding and open minded

    i went to the doctor for having a week of testicle ache pains, he first asked if i masturbate, i said yes. he said how much, i said every day once, but can be up to 3 times a day. he said wow, why so much, do u have a high sex drive, i said yes. he said do you watch porn, i said yes, he said this is the reason. he said i should only masturbation 2 times a week and preferrably at the times of morning wood. then before i mentioned anything about my edging problem, he himself said to me that it is dangerous to masturbate without ejaculation, if i masturbate i must ejaculate.

    then i did a scan for varicoceles but nothing was found so he said i dont need to take any medicines, then few days later the pain was gone. this is when i started no pmo, but after around 2 weeks i started again and went back to edging. now pain is back for 2nd time so i believe the doctor as it seems to be true with my current correlations of testicle pain, and this time i can physically see the varicoceles so maybe at that point of doctor appointment i was in the early stage so it went undiscovered. but i cant go now to doctor for quarantine as its not an emergy yet (so far)

    he also mentioned something about resulting of ejaculating fast but i forgot the statements
