    For real. Nothing in the real world works like he's portraying it.

    I could see someone having a dwindling libido for unrelated reasons and confabulating a false narrative like this one to explain it. (Though even if he truly believes what he's saying, it's likely due to exposure to #nofap nuts.)

    Doesn't necessarily mean he's Christian. Some people are legitimately misinformed. There is a lot of myths regarding sex and masturbation that we really don't do much to challenge.

    Indeed; however, it is likely because of christianity that these myths aren't challenged and also likely what caused this greentext... if it's not fake and/or gay.

    Semen is stored in the prostate, not the balls just fyi.

    Do I think this person got so good at jerking it that he burned out his sexual functioning, or do I think this guy just aged out of puberty and his bad diet and lifestyle crashed his testosterone?

    I've always had a bad diet. In my late teens I was physically active and had a super high libido, which till I got my first girlfriend meant jerking it and when I got my first girlfriend, we did it up to 5 times a day (though usually less). Mid 20s I was single most of the time and, you guessed it, took care of my own needs. Late 20s, in a relationship, my libido had decreased considerably, I did think maybe it was all the masturbation, but looking back, there was a lot of stress and my weight was the highest it has ever been.

    Now I'm in my 30s, dumped my ex-wife, have lost some of the weight, am more physically active again and it's summertime. Had some kinda thing last winter that didn't turn into a real relationship, went 3 times a day with her when she stayed at my place and still wanted more. Now it's summer, I'm more active physically and I'm even hornier.

    Excessive masturbation has had precisely zero long-term effect on me. Short term? Absolutely. But long term, the thing that has affected me the most has been physical activity, body weight, stress level, and surprisingly enough, the seasons. Lots of difference between wintertime here with 6 hour days and mostly overcast skies, everything is muddy, etc... vs middle of June, there's basically no darkness, sun sets at 10 PM and rises at 3 AM, but it doesn't even get dark between sunset and sunrise... There's just so much excess energy. August is even warmer than June, but at least we have nights now.

    I want to know EXACTLY how much masturbation makes one's "penis not work" but i suspect it differs from person to person.

    Perhaps the first monks were people who wanked once and then went "oh no.... Oh no no no"

    You get that from porn and masturbation. Where else do you think he has gotten it from, or where do you think people usually get it from?

    Was probably just death grip sydroming himself to the point of nothing being a strong enough sensation to feel.

    If you literally beat your meat with an iron Kung Fu grip then no orifice on another person's body is ever going to be tight enough to give you normal pleasure and you will feel broken and blame the other. Retraining is possible but stop now if you use a strong grip and use softer methods of masturbation.

    Yes, death grip is real, and it sucks for the partner in your life, too. I've been with guys who'd death-gripped themselves out of enjoying the sensation of another's body, and lemme tell you, having him go on for ages isn't as fun as it sounds. As the partner, you start to feel like you're not good enough, because nothing you do seems to get him off. Sex becomes less fun and more of a chore, to the point that you start to wonder why you're bothering at all. You both know he'd get more pleasure from masturbating, so why even be involved?

    I've had exes who tried to cut back on masturbation, take days off, and that's just to bring back libido. But there is no quick solution, it takes time and careful self-monitoring to resensitize. I hope more people become aware of this phenomenon, take caution, and use lube when masturbating - because giving yourself intimacy problems before the age of 30 isn't fun for anyone.

    Death grip should be enough of a reason for dudes to normalize sex toys. Sure you can develop plenty of other unhealthy habits with sex toys, and you can have a perfectly healthy approach without sex toys, but sex toys make it a lot easier to continue to have normal sexual habits once you are sexually active with a partner again

    If you broke it, anon, it was from improper operation; not regular usage.

    Mid 30s and still going strong 💪 i can edge for hours. Recently i visited family for a week and didnt fap the whole time, when I finally got home fapped for 5 hours and cummed 7 times.

    Sounds like a skill issue tbh. I think in my late teens and early 20s I spent more waking hours with dick in hand than not.

    Nah the green text is just total bullshit. That is not how any of that works, medically speaking. Sure you can create psychological issues, and sperm volume can go down temporarily from extreme, eh, flow, but that's as close to real as the post gets.

    I know those posts are stupid and wrong but I can't help and worry about how I lost much of the relief from masturbation over the years. Haven't been with a girl for years and that really worries me

    Just stop jerkin' it for a while and take maca with a multi vitamin for about two months.

    Australian McDonald's.

    By week 2 of your Macca's diet your dick will have turned into a little button, by week 4 you grow boobs, but by week 8 that button shoots semen like a firehose. Works for me every time I jack off until my balls are permanently dry.

    I've been taking regular strength Maca like 1000mg a day and a Swanson multivitamin every morning for two months, after a not so great depression battle that left my sexual functions in not a great spot.

    I plan on stopping the Maca next month but I'm never stopping the multivitamin.

    I was gonna try the prostate blend from Swanson vitamins but there's a lot of supplements that do the hair loss thing and I'm not about that.

    Also you don't realize how much water intake effects your penis. Staying hydrated is important because it's not just a muscle, it's skin and skin needs to stay hydrated.

    I also started drinking an electrolyte solution from Amazon every Sunday because I read how much our food is devoid of nutrients.

    Life got better I feel more energetic and I don't feel low.

    Yeah pretty much anything can fuck up your body if you do too much of it for too long in the wrong ways.

    Weed can be behaviorally addictive even though it doesn't cause the same kind of neurochemical dependence. Caffeine is just literally an addictive stimulant and nobody talks about how insane it is that it and nicotine are just legal for some reason when a bunch of other stimulants that also cause heart problems aren't. Let your kid play the wrong video games and suddenly you have a 10y/o with a gambling addiction. Even running is great cardio but it can literally fuck up your skeleton if you run on the wrong surfaces and wear the wrong kind of footwear.

    You gotta pay attention to all the shit you're doing pretty much all of the time to catch whatever your 'thing' is gonna be before it damages your body permanently. It's exhausting. That's the main thing rich people have over poor people health wise. They get enough time off from both work and domestic responsibility to watch that kinda stuff and intervene with a different coping strategy when it's getting out of hand. Sure not all of them take advantage of that but that's a personal problem at least they have the time to do it if they want to.

    Edit: it's wild to think someone thinks something I'm not even gonna bother arguing about is worth that much trouble.

    Because they're largely harmless. Being a stimulant isn't bad, there's nothing insane about that.

    Also, caffeine addiction is relatively easy to overcome. Nicotine addiction isn't and tobacco, its main source, contains tons of other crap, which is why governments have been running anti-smoking campaigns for decades but keep their actions against caffeine to "don't give energy drinks to minors" and "please don't sell premixed alcoholic caffeinated beverages".

    yeah, uh, kinda like the sockpuppet said... y'know it's kinda funny this is like little leagues lol. you can see some really obvious sockpuppets with months of regular commenting completely unrelated to the main account before they activate it... can link an example if anyone is interested...

    my headcannon is apytele is shocked that their ingenious plan to play up their comments is not only obvious but so commonly employed that there's a term for it lol

    my version of events here is that apytele made an account a couple days ago (on the same instance with an extremely similar extremely unique naming convention.......) made 6 comments unrelated to where their main account normally hangs out in a laughable attempt to make it a believable unique account from their main, then uses that account to glaze this (potentially slightly unpopular) comment of theirs. they wanted other people to see the response and go "oh wow yeah! that is nuanced!!"

    I think despite the attempt to make the sockpuppet seem emotional and reactive in a way the main usually isn't, it's pretty obvious they're written by the same person lol

    I think they are pretty much saying im a fake account made by apytele to agree to their post...I created this account days before apytele wrote that comment, so shrugs. Kind of wild the accusations people will throw around with evidence as thin as a thread of silk.

    well fuck me i guess....im already constantly self conscious about the way i speak, so thanks for making me feel worse when i already read through all my post 50 million fucking times to make sure i dont come across as weird or oddly worded before i comment asshole. I fuckig hate the internet, i should just fucking delete all my accounts at this point. god forbid i try to leave a nice comment without getting dogpiled just for the way i word things...

    Edit: apparently sockpuppets and bots are different things. Whatever, not gonna accept the premise of assholes who just like to throw accusations around and attack people.
