I think masturbation is ok, only if you are suffering a lot. I think it helps your mental health.
Masturbation is ok under any circumstances.
I however have only done it once in the last 6 months.
Think meds have made me lose interest in anything to do with sex.
Not missed it to be honest.
Good now that I don’t watch porn, as I don’t think it provides a healthy sense of what the sexual experience is.

My Pdoc said it’s normal, which I already knew. But he went on and asked a follow up which was something like: “Does is make you feel bad?”
To which I said “No.” And he simply said “Good.”
This forum though has made me wonder since porn is unethical; yet strumming it to those you’ve talked to in real life is also “problematic?” It kind of leaves you with nowhere to go.
So I’m now in the same boat as the poster who said they “get it over with as soon as possible.”
As a positive sidebar:
I’ve discovered cold showers; It’s harder, and makes me feel proud of myself while I lather up my naked body. If anything it’s like training wheels for hot showers… hot showers are now easier to take.
The payoff also extends after the cold shower too. Your body temperature slowly warms back up and the feeling is different; I need to make a change bc I’m unhappy and so far I think I like this difference in me.
I don’t masturbate any more, maybe it’s my age. Plus I used to feel dirty after doing it.

Someone said that 99% of young men masturbate, and the other 1% are liars.
Lol!!! 151515 that’s hilarious!!
Going to quit watching porn.
It’s disgusting.
But masturbation in moderation is healthy.
I do it once every 2 weeks and feel exhausted and tired after it. I am just 30 y.o. I think my Risperdal is blocking too much dopamine which causes the tiredness bcz masturbation also lowers dopamine.
Risperdal lowers sex drive by raising prolactine which lowers testosterone.

I’m on Zyprexa (20mg daily) and I have zero libido. It’s been months since I masturbated. I have no worries, that’s all. I tried watching porn and felt nothing.
