    Why are so many websites saying there is evidence of use it or lose it and that a dry streak can cause damage... is there any truth to this?

    I think there's only partial truth to this, in certain circumstances for certain people. I think for those with a PMO addiction, having a reboot is a good idea. There is a plethora of evidence of habituation, attenuation of response to hyperstimuli, and the rewiring of neural pathways due to overexcitation of the pleasure centers of the brain. You have to reboot, go through a low, and then get back to normal and what nature intended.

    S83,

    I believe there are healthy ways to use it, which will prevent you from losing it. Using Porn as a means to "use it" is a damaging addiction which can potentially cause you to experience Porn Induced ED (PIED). Having a sexual relationship with someone is completely different from spending endless hours surfing porn. So please, go use it...but use it wisely.

    But if your not in a sexual relationship to say you must masturbate or lose it is crazy surely? I'm sure nocturnal erections last longer of those when you mo anyway. To me even masturbating is just not natural at all but then you read all the use it or lose it websites with make out its compulsory. No matter what any Doctor says the fact is we weren't given d***'s to play with. I just don't understand why allot of websites seem to promote it

    Bro science.




    However, I heard once you get passed the crucial phase of recovery ( 2 months ) gentle stimulation involving rubbing, and massaging can be beneficial to blood flow, and waking a dormant cock. Especially for those that don't have cuddle partners, and partners in general. Morning woods, and blood in general down below is great. Running, and exercising aids ...
