    Hi everyone,

    I’m married but still fap to online porn frequently. Has anyone developed cervical spine or neck issues from years of fapping in bad posture? I fap on my iPad a lot (often 2x day) in the bathroom while sitting on the toilet, sitting on the edge of the tub and often lying in bed. I also fap to online porn late in the evening while lying on the couch. The reason I do it this way is that I conceal my fapping from my wife. I used to only fap sitting in a chair in front of desktop computer.

    I’ve developed a pinch nerve radiating down my shoulder and wonder if it’s related. Any advice from the field?

    This is yet another reason for me to stop fapping.
     
  2. Sounds like you're getting old like me. I'm sure the fapping doesn't help but I doubt that it is the main cause of your issue. Do you exercise regularly? A lot of posture issues stem from muscle imbalances. have you had any injuries in the past? What do you do for a profession? These are the more likely culprits along with genetics I would assume.

    Thanks for replying righthand.

    Yes I do exercise frequently but perhaps not with the best form always and I need to lose some weight as well. I sit at a desk for prolonged periods every day unfortunately.

    I had problems in the lumbar area. I used to fap sitting in a chair in front of my computer for long hours.

    Like Righthandman76 said, it could be related to muscle imbalances because when i started excercising for my back pain, it started to go away slowly.

    You have to strengthen your back and i hope you can solve your problem like me.

    Yep,

    I had it all. Just got botox in December to deal with it. I'm positive it was from years of gaping.
