Masturbation is bad

Has anyone seen the Seinfeld episode about this? George stops masturbating and becomes extremely smart, learning new languages, science, physics etc. Obviously it is a comedy, but I think there might be something to it.

Personally I feel more focused and motivated during a period of masturbatory abstinence. My theory is this: since we have a natural desire to procreate, and masturbation (to ejaculation) satisfies that desire, when we don’t ejaculate the drive is still there but can be redirected toward other things.

That being said, the longest I’ve ever gone without rubbing one out is 3 weeks, so I wonder what a longer break would do. I’ve really got to look into this orgasming without ejaculating thing. Best of both worlds!

All maimeds should be Nobel-prize winners :) .

Yep seen it and at the end has sex and becomes dumb again.

What was funny with that episode was Elaine. She was getting dumber by the lack of sex.

I think my girlfriend is the same way. That’s why I have sex with her often. :D

Masturbation without ejaculation is good. If you masturbate, your body produces some kind of substance that makes you want to go to sleep. It causes energy drop. It might have evolutionary reasons.

That is a very obscure explanation!

Walter,

You asked for thoughts. You are finding greater joy in your experiences without masturbation. Good! Great! More power to you! Seeking greater happiness and satisfaction is a very worthwhile endeavor.

You mentioned difficulty with going to sleep at times. Some things you might find helpful: going to bed before 10 p.m., washing (or soaking) your feet in cold water just before going to bed, and avoid doing a lot of mental work just before going to bed.

In cold water? Are you sure?

Yes, please expound on the cold water on feet theory. I have cold feet and go to sleep with wool socks on half of the time - I can’t go to sleep easily if my feet are cold.

The idea of the cold water on the feet before going to bed is to draw blood from the upper areas of the body, the head actually, to warm the feet and thereby quiet the mind so that it becomes more restful.

I might try that some time, the cold water thing.

I find if I don’t masturbate for a long time I can’t focus on anything and I get really anxious and antsy. I also get blue balls from PE if I am not relieving myself often enough (usually about every 3 or 4 days). I do feel drained though if I do it to often. I guess the answer is balance then as has been said.

On the topic of “the multi-orgasmic man” which I have read. How easy was it for you guys to have an orgasm without ejaculation. I have tried and I couldn’t do it. Any tips? Things you realized once you finally accomplished it? I would really like to be able to do that.

Masturbating is not a big deal, but ejaculating should be avoided as much as possible when practicing PE techniques. I try to restrain myself to once or twice a week.

Agreed, masturbating without ejaculation such as edging is no problem and I believe is beneficial as it will help you last longer in bed. Ejaculating from sex doesn’t seem to have any of the bad effects of masturbatory ejaculation, even at high frequency- not sure why.

Walter, you take all the fun out of life! I am in my 60’s and still do it a minimum of once or twice per day, Always twice on PE days. Do it shortly after sex, too. Some days 6 or 7 times. I really enjoy every time. I feel good, clean, relaxed, and satisfied almost every time. It reduces your chances of prostate cancer. Helps you sleep. I believe that it increases your long-term testosterone levels. People on a bodybuilding site told me I have the body of a 30 year old and I am more than twice that age. I don’t think it has harmed me physically or mentally. And I have had good PE gains.

Man, I hate to hear that “it is a destructive addiction.” Guess I will have to stop, now, dang it.

walter-

We have lot’s of sex, but I only cum once per month - suites me :)
I often edge as part of my PE routine, but I never allow myself to cum (except occasionally once or twice a year by accident). But yeas, sure does give you energy. If you follow the link in my sig, you will eventually find a piece I wrote about it.
