Just wondering. I know masturbation essentially makes you feel tired since it results in a loss of protein from your body. But how tired would one be after a jerkoff session?

Also, we all know that the hormones that drive a male are his testoterones. And is it true that masturbation results in a release of testoterones? What kind of effect would this have on the mind and body?

I'm asking because I used to wank off 2 to 3 times a week but over the past month or so, I've done it only once every 2 to 3 weeks. And I'm not sure what kind of effects (physiological and mental) this would have on me.

Also, this decrease in "activity" somehow coincided with me getting involved with a few chicks in the past month or so. No, there's no sex involved here so I'm not getting any even though I'm wanking off less. Coincidental or logical?

If you do it too much then...:
Laziness
Blindness
Depression
lack of Stamina
less desperate >> not inclined to socialize with chicks
..

But yah when I go on lengths without wanking it (say once a week), I just feel a lot better overall. :D

Yeah, when I wank it too much I have low stamina, low motivation, low energy.....it sucks. I try to keep it down to 30 times a week now.

From the Seanbaby vault:

"why I look just as good as I use to, I have bulk up a little bit ,and I also added 3 more inches to my cock , now its 10 1/2 inches long ,with all those chicks pulling on it ,figthing over it ,even you could do that if you didn't waste all your time on your web site. good luck "

"Science may never have the answer to that question, but trust me, as an owner and operator of a penis... tugging it doesn't make it any bigger. If it did, ages 12 through 15 would have left me with a cross between a fire hose and a huge oversized novelty fire hose."

I read that the origins of that myth come from the fact that you lose zinc when you ejaculate, and since zinc is used in the processing of images in the eye or something, wanking it too often will cause you to go blind.

Definitely not true though. I'd think that wanking too much is a side effect in and of itself from depression, boredom, etc. There's nothing actually physically or even all that mentally harmful about it, really. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a puritanical dipshit. :)

I think they myth's been around longer than we've known about the zinc/semen/vision connection.

Let me see if I can pull up some dates. And on my cock.

EDIT: n/m. I'd need a library for this. It's difficult to track when biological discoveries were made concerning zinc. Either way, it doesn't appear to have much of an effect on eyesight. It's more important to taste and smell.

The masturbation == blindness myth I've been able to trace back to the 40s, via a few queries, but I remember reading about it going back to the 20s, previously. Whether the 40s or the 20s, I doubt they could draw a link between zinc and vision then.

I'm told jerking off helps fight prostate cancer.

My grandfather died of prostate cancer. And they say it's caused by not enough stimulation to the prostate in the young adult years.

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned the dire side effect of addiction.

Well.. uh.. I heard that if you do it too often at er, a uh, formative age that results in a permanent slant in the erect penis when adulthood is reached.

Yes... that's what I HEAR...

Wow really? I never masturbated before the age of 18 (I'm 26 now) and my erect penis is as straight as an arrow, as opposite to most I've seen/handled. Now I know why :p

The only side effect of years of masturbation is the fact that your woman will want you in bed... constantly.

Low stamina my ass. Thank you Playboy!

I believe it's because you never jerked it while your dick was growing. I'm sure you were already at adult size at 18. I think that might make a difference.

I don't think I've ever seen one perfectly straight, atleast in real life. :p

doesn't the blindness thing come from trying to look at porno mags under the covers at night with a torch?

Of course, with PSP now, blindness will come from simple retinal burns.

If there are any negative side-effects, I'll remain blissfully unaware of it thank-you-very-much.

I apply the philosophy of "Use It Or Lose It" to this subject, and usually can't fall asleep any day I don't go without a discharge of some sort (either by self or through intercourse). As far as I'm concerned, going a stretch of 24+ hours without letting a load out makes you more prone to having less time in intercourse.
