Risks
Compulsive masturbation and other compulsive behaviors can be signs of an emotional problem, which may need to be addressed by a mental health specialist. As with any “nervous habit”, it is more helpful to consider the causes of compulsive behavior, rather than try to repress masturbation.
I can easily spend 30+ hours a week jacking off and watching porn. I don’t know about you but I have a feeling that’s probably not the healthiest habit.
it’s not shame. also I didn’t mean masturbating in general being bad. but a lot of people (me as an example) do it way too often which then os unhealthy for your mental state and dopamine system. if you over-do something, it stops being nice and develops into something not enjoyable anymore.
it’s one thing to masturbate 1-2 a week and doing it 3-4 times daily. as an example.
Shame around masturbation is cringe 👌
Its also cringe to ignore the fact that it can be a problem. I’m not saying that’s what you’re doing, but I see it a lot and neither extreme is good.
