I’ve been anxious all day and just masturbated now I feel calm/relieved. Never thought to masturbate while anxious before but I felt better right away. Phew

yes and no. you can’t jerk-off in public, to overcome anxious feelings.
undoubtedly, meds are better at controlling anxious feelings; at least for me

I took my klonopin twice today and it barely helped but masturbation then a nice shower helped a lot.
People don’t make me anxious, in fact I think they calm me down. It’s isolation in my apt I start getting cold feet pacing around looking for things to do, talking a lot on the phone. Oh well whatever works.

sorry for wording my answer in such a way that made you think I was assuming that you might be anxious around people.
But if you do get anxious, and you happen to be around people; then meds would be a good choice. and though people calm you down; there’s always a small chance that, one day, you might just happen to feel anxious in public. as some people would say, “better safe than sorry.”
I have paranoid sz, so I always get anxious around people. meds help quite well.

No worries man. I think its when my GAD collides with my social anxiety. I’m real high strung from GAD but I have social anxiety too which helps me find a middle ground around people. Because the social anxiety kinda slows down my thought process. When I’m alone my gad makes me work at a million miles an hour. Anyone else experience something similar?
Do you reach a climax or are you just, basically, stroking yourself?
You made me giggle… My family had to tell me to start masturbating. I never did it as a kid or never caught on. It does help.

Because I love to give myself rub downs, stroking my belly or my butt or my legs, etc. and find it very therapeutic. I used to masturbate when I was young but gave it up because it seemed clumsy and jerky.
Of course! Masturbation is a fantastic destressor, along with sex. All kinds of feel good chemicals get released in your brain. It’s also a great way to relieve feelings of aggression.

Hmm think oral sex would be better. Needs to part of our treatment lol.

I’ve heard many women complain over the years that once their man climaxes he goes to sleep, any many do use it as a sleep aid.

I’ve never been with a partner before, but I can definitely confirm that. maybe it’s biological.
though sleep, solely by itself, is also a self-sufficient natural method that I use to somewhat better control my paranoid sz and sometimes anxious feelings; especially, when I didn’t have a full 8 hours of sleep the previous night.
Ok going to sleep now… no peeking !!! night all

I think uhhh even masturbation has a skill to it. It can be satisfying… it can also be a means to an end. It is after all a form of sex… more or less the same. Simpler in a lot of ways…
Sometimes it’s awesome, sometimes it hardcore triggers me. Just depends on the day. I’m down to about once a week now, which is better than it sounds lol.
I masturbate as much as I shower. 5x a week probably.

Didn’t you say you were asexual in another thread? I have heard in interviews with asexual people that they do masturbate. They just think about non sexual things while they do it.
