Sexual Exhaustion
Dr. Richards,
I'm definitely suffering from sexual exhaustion due to overmasturbation. I am currently 17 and I started masturbating when I was 12, sometimes daily, and sometimes multiple times per day. The symptoms I've noticed are: mild headaches after ejaculation, tiredness, half inch receding of the hairline, less libido, lower back pains, small semen volume, weak erection, firm flaccid state, faster heartbeat (around 74 beats per minute), difficulty going to sleep, and excessive sweating- about half the symptoms on your list...
Lately I've ejaculated 1-2 times per week with slight improvement, but the symptoms still persist.
I plan to order your supplements as soon as I can (it may be a couple months), if I am not too young; in the meantime, I am getting 4 servings of fruit (OJ, apples, and bananas mostly) and taking 1200mg supplements of fish oil (bought at a regular pharmacy) per day. Are these good practices during the recovery period? Is there anything else I can add in order to foster healthy recovery, such as other store bought supplements, or other diet adjustments?
Also, is it possible to make a complete recovery with these symptoms? What part does my age play in this? I understand that I'll have to limit ejaculation to around 1-2 times per month. If recovery is possible, can it be done within a couple year's time?
Thanks for your time and advice.

Hello.
Yes, the symptoms described are frequently indicative of sexual exhaustion. The headaches after ejaculation, as well as the difficulty going to sleep are due to heightened norepinephrine, epinephrine, cortisol, and prostaglandin E2 levels, as well as improper levels of serotonin and GABA. The tiredness, low libido, small semen volume and weak erections are due to improper hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular functioning for less androgens to power sexual activities, as well as improper dopamine-prolactin ratio. The sweating and lower back pains are through excessive stress and inflammatory response.
Are these good practices during the recovery period?
Yes, the practices described will help your organism restore the homeostasis. Should consult dietologist for exact diet planning. However, the most important is to avoid any: milk with prostaglandin E2 analogs, soy products of any kind, much red meat, and refined sugar and fructose.

Yes, it is possible. The younger the greater the capacity of an organism to recover of any damage. Yes, in the particular case a year (or even less) may prove to be enough for a full recovery.
Regular exercise, negative ion exposure, positive affirmations, and massages will also prove helpful.
