Any recent science on masturabtion with regards to PMO?

Discussion in 'Abstinence, Retention, and Sexual Transmutation' started by Who I want to be, Sep 2, 2018.

  1. I am, I think as many guys&gals new to PMO, confused. I have read alot about PMO and related topics and I think I am fairly well informed. Yet masturbation is something I cannot wrap my head around ever since I came across PMO/NoFap.

    Everything I find online says "masturbation is great", "frequent semen release comes hand in hand with lower chance for cancer" etc.
    While I do believe that these facts are at least somewhat true, I have a feeling they do not goo deep enough. None of the studies that I found considered to set any boundaries. It's just "masturbation is great, go do it!".

    I do think that part of me wants to know it out of desperation, but I am also sure that I genuinely want to know. Nothing beats making informed decisions.

  2. Hi,
    Good question I believe that sex experts base their advice on few studies that as you say don't go deep enough. I read many pro-masturbation articles that didn't have facts based on large group studies or longitudinal research analysis to support them. In my opinion masturbation at best mimics some sexual intercourse benefits but does not bring about long term good effects. I read so many of those articles because I wanted to believe them. I guess sex experts like to say that masturbation is super healthy only because it's common and they themselves practice it. Why wouldn't they when their profession makes them deal with arousing facts and stories all the time. Anyways just because something is a common practice doesn't make it right, take lying for example it sometimes feels good to do so but it brings about bad results these usually keep you in bondage because then you need to add more lies to cover the original lie. Another thing to consider is that those masturbation studies cannot measure the soul's connection to an orgasm because it's impossible but personally I recently have come to believe that an orgasm is tied to your soul and it has a meaning and purpose too powerful to fully understand. This is why is best not to play with your privates because they are sooooo special more than we can fully comprehend.

    Ever heard the term "Reading between the lines? ??

    There is huge difference between "masturbation" and "masturbation to high speed internet porn"

    Once go back to these studies and check once. All studies basically say "Masturbation is great" but none of them ever say "Masturbation to high speed Internet porn is great". That's because High speed internet porn is supernormal stimulus.

    There is also this theory that more we do something, more we inforce that behavior. Frequent masturbation makes us to prefer masturbation over real life sex which is dangerous.

    I recently summarized PMO addiction in my reboot log here: (It will explain everything you want to know)

  4. Yes I very much understand the difference between PMO and MO. That is why I am curious if there are studies covering MO to a greater depth. Just as the NoFap community covers PMO to a great depth.
     
  5. That might be a very likely thesis about sex experts.
    The connection between an orgams and the soul. Interesting. I have read about people even "saving their essence" aka not climaxing during sex in order not to "lose energy". Sounds very alike to what you think about climaxing. I think there's something to it.

  6. An orgasm is there for a reason it's physical and spiritual but I now believe it has to be enjoyed by and through both partners not squandered on self-centered activities.

    The scientific literature only goes as far as the pure biomechanical aspect of 'cleaning the pipes' and how it can lower stress levels. It has nothing to say, because it has never investigated properly, on the psychological affect on an individual who engages in the practice.

    We went from masturbation causes blindness and other maladies straight to 'it's fine, no worries, enjoy!'.. without actually doing any real science. The same can be said of homosexual acts too and how that changed. It's all been political and social revolution momentum, but not actually science.

    It think this is perfect video for that and it explains why no studies talk about masturbation/porn being not so bad:

    Gary Wilson is founder of yourbrainonporn
