Masturbations Pressure on Nervous System - Insight into Possible Transmutation - Biophysiological

Something really interesting I stumbled upon. The state of arousal is a high energy state for the body. Now this has huge implications on a physiological level. So whenever you have any kind of sensation, whether it be touch, sound, smelling, tasting, etc your neurons basically are stimulated in order to relay this message to different centers of your brain. How does the neuron relay the messages to and fro the organ stimulated? By depolarization of the axon gradient. In other words, the body uses electrons in order to relay signals back and forth to the brain. When the electrons go through the axons, they cause a disruption in that natural state, where then the Mitochondria of that nerve cell has to utilize ATP in order to restore that medium for future electrons to come through.

Now in this particular section I'm not even going to go into dopamine, HPA etc, but this is just to show you even on a plain physiological level, how taxing orgasm and arousal is.

Lets look at this same concept under the light of arousal. Arousal is a state where the body is experiencing huge amounts of pleasure. This means that sensory perception is up, obvious the CNS is stimulated, also the PNS is simultaneously stimulated. If you think about it, all of the systems are working in the case of arousal. CNS in the sense that its giving huge amounts of signal to and from the brain. PNS because its controlling multiple hormones, maintaining a certain blood pressure, body temperature, heightened breathing etc. So both of these systems not only work through the neurons/nerve cells, they also stimulate secretion of different hormones, and chemical signals during the arousal cycles, which are also taxing on the body.

Whenever you are in a high energy state, whether its working out intensely, in arousal, having an orgasm, if that load is extremely intense on the nervous system, it will produce higher amounts of oxidative stress. Even heart disease has a similar mechanism, except within the metabolic system. With Metabolic Syndrome, the main issue is anytime you have a high level of energy intake, such as with fats, high sugar diets, this also has been shown to cause huge amounts of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), causing huge damage to the body itself causing things such as Diabetes, Hypertension, etc.

Oxidative stress in the case of arousal, would primarily be from the nerve cell's Mitochondria, which actually has been shown under higher than normal demand to starting leaking Reactive Oxygen Species, which actually starts destroying DNA, and other organelles of the cell(someone say memory loss?). Sometimes the Mitochondria itself has to be replaced through autophagy. I would go as far to say that constant states of arousal can produce overall weakness in the body. I don't think the Taoist, or the Brahmachari's were too far off. These states of arousal produce higher amounts of oxidative stress, which in the case of normal sex is not too bad, it gives the body time to recover. For normal sex I would say 5-10 minutes tops would be a normal spot for a lot of people, maybe 3-4 times a week. But now think about Porn. How long do we spend in arousal in states like that ? 1hours? 3 hours? Days on end ?


Arousal can NOT weaken organs directly, but it is a process that can cause weakening of organ health over time, or organism health over time. The thing with Oxidative stress it won't manifest the same for everyone, it will generally hit the weakest part of the organism first. In some it will hit their heart, others they will see things like dementia(A LOT OF PEOPLE DOING NOFAP NOTE IMPROVED MEMORY), some people note depressive states, or not having energy(diabetic conditions), these are also seen to be correlated with high levels of oxidative stress. This could possibly be why researchers don't find a correlation between certain diseases and masturbating, because the problem is a core problem, not something they can correlate definitively to one certain disease. But think about it, the whole entire nervous system from top to bottom is engaged in an arousal state, imagine the biochemical stress load even for one session, much less 2-3 times a day. Not only is the direct wiring to and from the organ constantly in a state of hyperstimulation, but also the entire HPA axis.

Even after you orgasm, the body has to now produce new sperm cells in order to keep up with the demand. So I don't know if you know this, but that also produces more Oxidative Stress. This would make more sense to me as a cause of prostate cancer to be honest.

So by just abstaining, you actually are helping your nervous system. You are reducing overall oxidative stress. Which in my opinion can help you lose weight, improve memory. It lets the energy be redirected at building your body rather than having to just produce sperm. Remember sperm, is the endpoint of evolution, you're body is built in order to produce offspring by genetic default.

Combine this theory with fasting, and theoretically the benefits have to be massive. At that point you probably wouldn't even have to eat a healthy diet, and could still be extremely healthy. Its interesting how this concept closely resembles that of a Monk. They fast a lot, practice celibacy, they build energy(meditation, japa, hail marys, etc), eat healthy when they do eat.

 

Oh yea, huge implications. Imagine you have neurotransmitters that need to be secreted, hundreds of thousands if not millions of enzymatic reactions(including micronutrient co-enzymes), constant hyperstimulation of the neural relay network to and from the brain. I mean usually during arousal our body starts to sweat, or general body heat goes up, which means increased metabolic activity, so that's also another indicator of the level of internal activity going on. In reality your body never goes to that level of nervous stimulation, unless your in intense pain. Common micronutrients I can think that may get depleted during excessive sexual behaviors:
Magnesium(used for major chemical energy pathways in the body, probably most used), Vitamin B(protects nervous system, also used for energy metabolism), Vitamin E(antioxidant), Vitamin D(building block for hormones), etc
