Sterility and Autism

I understand you're not claiming this is fact. I wasn't aware that you could damage the genetics of sperm through masturbation of pornography? I know it can decrease your sperm count and the quality of the liquid, but for damaging the genetics... I'm no geneticist but that seems almost impossible? I hope it's not true.

This could be interesting to ask around if there is any link to the chemical reactions from stimulation of pornography during masturbation and those effects on sperm. And further, are there any natural made chemical effects that can harm or change the genetics of sperm.

 

It's understandable to place blame on yourself going through something like this. But I very much doubt that you caused this through pmo. I don't believe it can have that affect on your sperm. Guilt is a terrible thing that can eat you up inside. Have you tried getting some help for this? I don't know an awful lot about autism but I'm sure there are support groups and people who can help. Maybe even discuss it with his doctor if you can't discuss it with your partner. Just having someone to aliviate your fears would help. These things are nobody's fault. Hope you can find some peace.

 

There is no point in crying over spilled milk, your child has already been born, at best you are only wallowing in your pity. Get past it, then instead of feeling guilt and shame towards your past you should feel pride and joy towards your future (your kids)

 

My own dad 'made me as I am' presumably without the applicative use of PMO (given that there was no computers in my household back then and very few 'articles' that i know about), I myself have high functioning Aspergers syndrome (on the autistic spectrum), while my younger brother has more severe autism. My dad's not a great guy but its beside the point. He works hard labour ingesting sawdust and has had a number of factory jobs in the past which if there was some chemical link relatable would be a good directional finger to point at.

I wouldn't mean to discredit your claims but my own father went through and I would still think is still going through a intense spate of denial over the 'cause' of his sons autism. Going from everything to "Its your side of the family", "There's nothing wrong with him", "Its the flu-jabs/food he's eating/chicken pox" and i can see a sad pattern occurring more tolerably with yourself and this transfixtion on blaming yourself because of pornography and sperm counts on your mind.

Removing PMO from the equation, not all men are created equal. Its a fact of life, if you have less than normal swimmers? depending on what your standpoint is, this can be a good thing or a bad thing. Flipping it on its head, saying that pornography gives you more sperm cells (which would from a logic point of view seem certain) by overworking the inner workings, would the outcome have been delivered any different? Wishing for something else may not have delivered the mix of kids you know and love today and they may have still have incurred developmental problems (maybe so, maybe not).

Love your kids for who they are and removing this stigmatism from yourself, anything else or others will help you lift this burden over your heart. PMO is a seperate battle.
