Addiction to Masturbation Leading to E.d. Posted: 12-15-06 21:43pm
Hey everyone, i'm new to these boards and
I would like to start off by telling you
guys my story as of late... Quick brief
history i've been masturbating since age
10 or so and gradually became more
sexually active as a normal male should..
I'd say in my late teens I was
masturbating frequently ( as in at least
once a day). However in the last six
years of my life i've become addicted to
masturbating.. I'd masturbate constantly
throughout the day,everyday when I had the
time to.. ( I mean i'd have multiple
sessions a day anywhere between 8-12+
times) I just chalked it up to having an
overactive libido.. Something I kind of
took pride in as i'm very much a believer
of non-promiscuous behavior and being a
"one-woman guy" and only having sex with a
woman with whom I was in a commited
relationship. Well for a few years I went
through a relationship "dryspell" if you
will and was single for quite awhile and
remaining firm of my beliefs I just
continued to masturbate often to relieve
my sexual tension. About a year ago I
became involved with a woman and began a
long-distance relationship and I am madly
in love with her and plan on moving to be
with her.. We would frequently have
phone sex... Usually long sessions too..
( I would ejaculate basically until I was
empty) this didn't seem like a problem
for me at first because everything still
worked like normal.. And then for a
period of about two weeks we'd have a ton
of phone sex and I was coming alot (as in
peter north style loads) and the last time
we had phone sex when my "equipment" was
functioning normally I came about 3-4
times with my last ejaculation being
"extremely intense".
The next day I couldn't get an erection
and my testicles were swollen slightly and
had a dull ache to them.. This lasted a
few days and then they ceased to hurt.. I
went to the emergency room and have thus
seen a urologist.. She said my prostate
is healthy and my blood shows my levels of
hormone to be normal.. I currently have
an appointment scheduled to see a
specialist about my e.D. But I was
wondering what you guys think. Did I
overmasturbate? Did I burn out my
libido? Has anyone tried the supplements
from herballove.Com? I currently exhibit
all the signs and symptoms described on
that site... Has this happened to anyone
else? I'm only 25!

Don't sweat it, buddy
it'll happen. Just take a few days to
give your system a rest, and you should be
back to normal. I'm not doctor, but
taking food/beverages with lots of zinc
and vitamin b12 help restore sex drive.
That, strawberries, teddy grahams,
chocolate (sometimes), green m&m's
(allegedly) can help too.
Oh, and that herballove site?
Guess what that is.
100%
pure
unaltered,
unflitered,
complete....
caca!
Never ever listen to any of the crap that
they post on that site. Herballove is a
site designed by greedy chinese men,
putting some herbs into pills and syrups,
and slapping 200-400 dollar price tags on
them, to line their pockets.
They just put all that exaggerated crap
about "overmasturbation" on it to play on
the insecurities of guys who do masturbate
a lot.
If masturbation does cause any problems
(problems that cant be dispelled after
waitng a few days for the reproductive
system to restore itself), they are
problems that you should see a doctor
about, and not take advice from some
chinese tard who can hardly put together
an english sentence, and is just trynna
get rich fast. Don't waste your money on
herballove.Com. The "symptoms' they
discuss on that site can be attributed to
a whole bunch of other things than
masturbation.

hey thanks for
replying to me.. But it's been a few
months and no improvent.. I'll be seeing
that specialist next week.. I have
experienced a loss in libido as well and
it frightens the hell out of me.. I took
pride in my sexual prowess as any male
would... I guess you could say I had a
bit of a sexual addiction that I have come
to grips(no pun intended) with and have
realized that now... So I guess if I can
get back to normal I will never take my
ability for granted.. Also wanted to
touch base and let you know that I have
been taking supplements to try and build
my system back up... I'll list them
below
ginko biloba-> taken in the morning
upon waking
vitamin b-12-> taken upon waking
lecithin-> taken upon waking
folic acid-> taken around lunch time
niacin-> taken before bed... ( please
be aware niacin causes "flushing")
zinc-> i've taken both upon waking and
before bed.. I guess it's about
preference...
Potassium glutonate
ginseng-> take any time during the
day-> panax or "korean red" as it's
called... I read 900mg a day is best...
Also there are brands that offer a triple
blend of ginsengs such as siberian and
american+ panax
saw palmetto- taken upon waking or shortly
after
vitamin b 100 complex- been taking this
most recently.. Seems to be helping
fish oil- or foods containing omega 3,6,9
fatty acids
one a day for men
nitric oxide(no) booster- this may help
l-arginine
amino acids stack
tried taking 5-htp- seemed to improve my
mood slighty, but I am looking into taking
either st. John's wort or sam-e
also looking into dhea
i've been looking into taking arginmax....
It may provide better stuff that's
oriented for male sex organs
the only otc stuff that I found is for
real so far is "stamina-rx" this stuff
does work.. Kind of like viagra(never
taken viagra) in nature in that it works
in about an hour.. I was able to have a
powerful enough erection and last how I
was when I was normal.. So if you don't
have any problems with e.D. I would
suggest using it to last waaay longer. It
contains yohimbe so I think i'm going to
buy just yohimbe and take that as well.
Now remember I take these supplements
throughout the day usually with or between
meals...
I'll keep you guys updated with my
results from my first visit to the
specialist.

Sounds like you can simplify your
supplements and actually have better
health too. Vitamins often work together
and are precursors to each other and other
body chemicals.
You may want specific vitamins for
specific reasons, but a quality
multi-vitamin/multi-mineral is better.
Usana and life extensions are two of the
best that I know of. Certain vitamins
shouldn't be taken over certain doses and
others are okay in certain forms because
your body will only use what it needs.
Look into that if you want to add more
vitamins on top of the multi. One a day
is not enough for optimum health and
vitamin intake.
Looking at your list you might only
need...
A multi-vitamin/mineral
ginkgo
lecithin
efa's (omega 3,6,9. Fish oil, borage,
etc. You can find it all in one product)
protein supplement (for amino acids and
l-arginine. Look at what you're taking
and find a protein that provides equal or
more, if that's possible. Whey protein
concentrate or isolate is probably the
best, but other forms are slower absorbing
for increased absorption throughout the
day, such as soy, egg, etc. You can find
a protein supplement with multiple forms)
then saw palmetto and ginseng. Panax
ginseng shouldn't be taken consistently.
Take a break for a week ever few weeks.
Mood? Are you depressed or just trying to
boost mood a little? Protein helps mood
with relaxing amino acids as well as
l-tryptophan which is basically the
precursor to 5-htp which is basically the
precursor to serotonin. If you have
bigger mood problem amoryn is a good
product that I use which contains a small
amount of 5-htp, rhodiola, and the active
ingredient of st. John's wort. I don't
know much about sam-e, but I do know that
it's not actually natural. Whether that's
bad requires you to do some research.

Your situation sounds very familiar to
mine. For about two or three years now,
I've had difficulty mainly maintaining an
erection. If I think about my problems,
there's basically no shot of an erection.
If I just relax and enjoy what's
happening, things seem better.
Once this issue became more constant, I
began trying supplements, such as
L-arginine, ginko, ginseng, etc., but they
had an unknown effect. Lately, I've been
trying ArginMax and that has seemed to be
more of a success. Now, I don't know if it
is because I'm more comfortable with my
partner because we've talked about this,
or that the ArginMax itself is actually
working. I can tell you that since taking
ArginMax, I will have random erections
throughout the day. Not as common as when
I was a teenager, but this is something
happening now that hadn't for quite some
time.
I've also cut, as much as possible, fat in
my diet, I'm eating more vegetables and
fruit. I hope to exercise more as well as
my doctor has advised me these steps can
greatly improve my sex life.
It's really a mystery as to whether my
problem has been physical or
psychological, but the steps I've taken
above have definitely helped. First and
foremost, the steps I've taken have
increased my libido as of late, and I
think that is very key.
