I’m 19, been masturbating since before I physically could even ejaculate, probably around 11 but I’m not sure, I masturbated at least once a day and usually more. By 16 I smoked weed regularly and by 18 I didn’t feel like myself anymore. I knew something was wrong. I had an anxiety attack and blamed it all on weed. Which I’m sure played a part, so I quit weed. Never even thinking about what masturbation was doing to me I continued to masturbate but not smoke. the symptoms of anxiety and exhaustion persisted and I did not know what to do. I convinced myself that I had adrenal fatigue by constantly googling symptoms. Luckily adrenal fatigue finally brought me to masturbation and I realized the root of my problems. I’m going to college septemeber 4th an me and my girlfriend recently broke up and it’s been really hard on me, though I believe we could still be together in the future. Over masturbation put me into a constant fight or flight I believe and now my parasympathetic system is so exhausted that I’m scared it’ll never get back to normal, I’ve quit masturbation for 10 days now and it’s hard. Ever since I broke up with my girlfriend I’ve been so sad, my heart races and nothing is helping me.
Definitely not just the weed to blame here. Masturbation does put you in a fight or flight by byburning much of your dopamine into norepinephrine and epinephrine.
This can result in a number of issues, such as cowardice, increased resting heart rate for days, anxiety, and adrenal fatigue to name a few. With weed it will be even more psychotropic and I fear thinking what would happen if you add alcohol.
You need to stop masturbating asap, cut the psychotropic substances as well. The good thing is that you’re young so you should recover relatively fast.
Hi, first of all, excuses about my English. I’m improving in this area
Well, my history is very long. I’ve been reading a lot of articles in this site and after two years looking for answers for my Severe ED, I think I’ve found the definitive explanation: SE.
Now, I’m in my 14 month of no PMO and I’ve lost 20 kg, I’m a fit person that practices sports 4/5 times at week, vegetarian, balanced diet, non smoker from two years ago, I’ve tried this supplements: Vitamin D, Pycnogenol, Horny Goat Weed, L Tyrosin, L Arginine, Maca, B12, Yohimbine, Vitamin b6, b3, b12, c, …. And any result. Just I can notice Yohimbine when I mix it with Viagra. In fact, I’ve made all of these changes because of my ED.
As I’ve written before my history is quite long. I’m 38 yo and since I can remember I’m severe ED. I began masturbating with 8 years with no arousal(I didn’t think about women, I just was looking for the dopamine effects), and with 17 I was a porn expert. I MO 4/5 times at day for sure. And I was doing it since 14 months ago, when I found a web page that related ED to porn. Well, maybe from 18 to now, 1 or 2 times per day (MO)
My symptoms are:
– Severe ED. I can’t never get an erection, no porn and much less with a sexual partner. I can only get it with Viagra 100% and it’s a weak erection 70-80%. I take Viagra since 25 yo. At least I can fuck, bad but I can fuck.
– No morning wood ain’t spontaneous erections
– I’ve never had a wet dream.
– Very low libido. Now I have realized that before I masturbated because I was bored and I forced my ejaculations and my weak erections.
– Back pain
– General exhaustion
– I can’t get up in the morning, I’m really tired
– Panic attacks, low depression chronic state, permanent anxiety, I had a paranoia phase too a lot of years ago
– Now I’m taking one Lorazepam pill per day and another of Deprax for my anxiety and depression for ten years.
– Chronic asthma and bronchitis
– Excessive Precum liquid
– difficulty with memory. Short and long term
– poor concentration
– Floaters, Visual Snow, Palipnosia, after images….
– Urine infection
– Pain in perineum zone
– ….

After these 2 years taking care of my health and trying to recovery I haven’t experienced any success with my dick. I’m really desperate and hopeless. Please I need help. What happens to me exactly? I’ve wasted a lot of money and years of treatment with psychiatrist, sexologists, urologist, neurologist…and everything seems to be perfect. Now in this web I’ve seen those huge tests…what do you recommend me? Where can I begin by? Please, I need help, I’m lost, I want to enjoy of sex and have a partner, I wanna be a regular person.
Thanks in advance
