I think most us will have experienced the usual symptoms of being addicted to porn and the aftermath of masturbating to it. Stuff like headaches and apathy and generally feeling down. The purpose of this thread is to collect examples of symptoms that are out of the ordinary, stuff you haven't seen talked about as much, or at all. I'll go first. . Immediately following masturbation I sometimes feel more jittery than I did before. Not always. . The day after I masturbate I sometimes feel like I have the flu. I feel "heady" have a sort or scratchy throat and feel tired. . This is a weird one and the reason I made this thread. Sometimes when I masturbate it actually does the opposite of what it usually does and leads into a big burst of energy that lasts for several days. A sort of restlessness that eventually fades away and is replaced by either a more balanced mood, depression, or anxiety/irritability. I used to think this happening was a coincidence but it happens too often for it to be.
When I masturbate for next 3 days I feel uneasyness in my mind I am nervous I am negative and my focus is gone and also stomach issues , and my voice get low like when we have cough in throat, so I stopped masturbating for a long time now this things are recovering
Many people have it , extreme masturbation cause ibs and digestive issue , if you don't have them it's time for you to recover or else in future there will be more problems
PMO to depraved material can yield very bad symptoms for 5+ days that everyone around can notice in the eyes. Behind the eyes is a very obvious disturbance. Looking into people's eyes makes them look away immediately Enlarged muscles in temples due to jaw clenching at night Restlessness rubbing feet and legs Immediate diarrhea when the decision to PMO to depraved material is made Confusion and forgetfulness throughout the entire day People subtley mentioning things related to depraved material when having a conversation Strange scent changes to body odor after PMO to depraved material (not confirmed) Unconsciously more perverted and discuss perverse things without realizing Much more irritable and hostile to people than normal Less fear and more comfortable in darkness Adrenaline spikes combined with dopamine when PMO to depraved material that are euphoric but lead to harsh comedown (cortisol). Measurable levels of raised thyroid production (appears like hyperthyroidism) over time Raised measurable levels of blood pressure over time Disturbing dreams related to PMO and eventually a complete lack of remembering dreams over time
The third one is something that I have noticed too. For me, I think it has to do with the fact that anxiety and negative thoughts numb my brain. So, when I masturbate I kinda enter a state of calmness and since I no longer hold to negative thoughts I am more capable to do things. That being said I don't believe that it gives you actual energy, it's just a way to get yourself out of unpleasant feelings. Same thing applies to every addictive substance and behavior I think. The only thing I can do is endure these thoughts and fight them when they appear. That's my way out. Does the anxiety of yours occur right after you relapse or it can occur after days where you have entered a state of normal feelings?
I become a bad person with a short temper, no patience, zero motivation, huge brain fog, terrible memory, uneasy, I hate everything, can't do anything, just leave me alone and fuck off. That's how I fell! It sucks, right?
