So, what are the deadly adverse effects of (over) Masturbation?
Hand Practice and Health. It’s Benefits and Side-Effects I Hindi
There are adverse effects on health associated with over-masturbation. Check out the adverse effects:
- Lowering sperm count: The sperm count in a male reduces with over-masturbation. This makes it difficult to have a baby at a later stage. There is a requirement for more sperm to be produced for refilling the sperm tank, hence you need to conserve your sperm count for ejaculation, which is best when masturbation is done at a healthy count.
- Joint Pains & Weak Nervous System: Over masturbation produces overstimulation of the sex hormones in the male body. This in turn causes the leg muscles to become weak over time. The functioning of the brain is also adversely affected by the overproduction of serotonin, dopamine, and acetylcholine.
- Weak Muscular strength: When you ejaculate & discharge Semen, you literally lose protein. Semen is 50% protein by weight and contains a variety of nutrients to protect the sperm cells from damage. And every frequent ejaculation, you lose that amount of protein and everyone knows that Muscular strength requires a high amount of protein in the body. Hence Over-Masturbation weakens muscular strength.
- Hair thinning and baldness & light beard growth: It has been observed that males who masturbate excessively have less growth of hair on their beard or thin hair or no hair at all. Beard growth is related to the activity of the sex hormone testosterone. Many medical studies show that masturbation regularly may reduce testosterone levels. Stimulation of hair follicles in the area of Dihydrotestosterone leads to the growth of beard. Over-masturbation leads to loss of protein in the body and this in turn causes hair loss. Excess Masturbation = loss of protein = impact on testosterone and DHT = gradual HAIR LOSS. For a detailed medical theory of baldness caused by masturbation can be read here.
- Fatigue – Feeling tired all the time: People with an addiction to masturbation experience a feeling of tiredness all the time. It is pretty simple to understand why it happens. Masturbating every day or multiple times a day makes you lose important protein and calorie which is required to function the body, moreover, with ejaculation, the hormone “oxytocin” is released which gives the sleepy feeling. Hence Over-masturbating imbalances these important things and the body feels lazy, tired, and sleepy even during working hours!
- Premature ejaculation: When done in excessive amounts, masturbation teaches you how to reach an orgasm more easily. For many young adults, the addicted to porn and masturbation can cause an imbalance of stress hormones, GABA, Serotonin, and Dopamine. Put simply, over-masturbation will lead to sexual under-performance by way of premature ejaculation, as well as other sexual problems.
- Soft Erections / Impotency: Overstimulation of the penis can lead to the persistent softness of an erection, while the disappearance of a morning erection can signify a hormonal imbalance. For men who over-masturbate, weakness can occur because of a hormonal imbalance. While having actual sex the weak erection won’t be able to penetrate in partner resulting in unhappiness and unsatisfactory experience for her and guilt & shame for you.
- Eye Vision problems: This is because excessive masturbation causes damage in the inner layer of the eye, affecting the cones and rods of the eye. Men who ejaculate multiple times a day experience deficiencies in these neurochemicals necessary for healthy eyes and sexual function.
