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?

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

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.

Sounds like age. Bad diet, heavy drug/alcohol use, and age pretty much guarantees ED. Can be fixed by cleaning your life up and/or medication.

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 5 points 8 hours ago

Maybe he's gay.

Fake and gay.

Or religious, which is the same.

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 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.

Porn addict develops ED as he ages and thinks he broke his penis.

Some religious nutter trying to spread misinformation.

[–] TootSweet@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

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.)

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Oh yeah, I was originally thinking homeboy just developed ED but propaganda is just as likely .

[–] FavouriteShapes@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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"

[–] Funkt4st1c@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

As an ex porn addict, if you have "ED" from porn specifically, its a mental thing. I had an issue where my wife and i couldnt get anything done (because i was masturbating just fine 4x a day)

Simply dont do that or stick to >once a day and youll be aight. Maybe do some exercise and eat well, jerk off without porn, etc

[–] FavouriteShapes@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 hours ago

I agree. From my experience with maturation, the less you master bate, the better an erection is. And the less porn you use.

[–] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 hours ago

The amount is none because that's not how penises work

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It doesn’t. Bro has ED and wants to blame it on porn and masterbation.

[–] FavouriteShapes@sh.itjust.works -1 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

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?

[–] Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Old age where your body stops functioning properly.

You also don't have to be a gymnast to get back pain.

[–] FavouriteShapes@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago

Young people can get ED from excessive porn use. What do you gain from lying about this?

You also don’t have to be a gymnast to get back pain.

Hence why it is laughable that you're presenting old age as the only route to ED

[–] pomfegranate@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago

I think that might be a brain tumor or something

[–] StillAlive@piefed.world 14 points 1 day ago (3 children)

zero libido now. No interest in women or sex.

How do I achieve this?

[–] FalschgeldFurkan@lemmy.world 8 points 10 hours ago

With SSRIs

(Honestly though, don't take them if you don't need them)

[–] Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Cut off your dick and balls

Anon suffers a hormone dysfunction, blames it on masturbation like a good christian boy.

[–] daggermoon@piefed.world 36 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 hours ago

Yeah, it could have been Islam for example!

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 8 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

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.

[–] hildegarde@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I can still get erections despite having T levels that are too low to measure with a normal blood test. Skill issue.

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Hmm, any idea why your body works that way?

Nofap propaganda mastermind strikes again

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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.

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 5 points 23 hours ago

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.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Sounds like y’all been cranking dat hog a lil too hard brotha! Give that shit a few days rest. Can I get a hell ya brotha?!?

[–] TheSlad@sh.itjust.works 77 points 1 day ago (4 children)

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.

[–] Angryhumanoid@fedinsfw.app 61 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.
