I don’t think masturbation causes psychosis.

You may want to talk to a therapist about masturbation if you feel it’s having a negative affect on your life.

did meds help? how about sex?

It’s all about dopamine but I reckon out of relationships I had years where I’d do it daily. I was just a hornier sort of person. I’m old now and it’s not such a priority. Does that or just getting older make a difference to my mental health? I don’t have that answer. As to psychosis I’ve never heard it.

Continous use of pornographic imagery can lead to desensitization of sexual attraction onto the opposing gender, which in turn may lead to chronic fetishes and the objectification of genitalia and or an appendage much as any of the limbs. Studies show frequent masturbation without moderation can lead to loss of virility and a comparison to one’s own gender leading to insecurity and loss of confidence when with oneself and also the ingratuitos objectification of the beauty within the natural human body.

I would rather not explain in layman’s terms as it may be against the guidelines. Please do not feel offended as if you do, then there may be an issue we, meaning you and I or my fellow sufferers, can approach with maturity.

Let’s just say yesterday, I had something on my mind,

Or was it early morning?

I blamed it on masturbation before when I was a teenager.

I was so bad I was on a forensic ward, and I was not in a good place.

I actually asked someone this question and they assured me it had nothing to do with it.

yes in my case it does contribute

masturbating lowers my self confidence and self esteem

low confidence and low self esteem is a stressful thing

and chronic unhealthy stress triggers my psychosis

Masturbation can worsen negative symptoms. It create tiredness, lack of interest in other activities.

Only if you over do it. Its healthy medically if you don’t.

in your case, but everyone is different.

for me it makes me feel groggy even if I just do it once

Personally I was able to face stressful situations better, pursue studying etc till I not started that habit long back around 15 years. Since I started that habit I find increasing tiredness, lost interest in studying and tried my best to avoid all stressful situations probably due to worsening self confidence. I think it has a major role in worsening negative symptoms in some especially who are not much social.
