    other than the obvious, such as chafing and PIED, has anyone experienced injuries from too much or too vigorous masturbation?

    I only recently realized my aching shoulder is definitely related to PMO, and I've been having other sore muscles/joints. My hand, wrist, forearm, and even my feet and ass hurt sometimes from sitting at the computer with bad posting.

    Not to mention the gross sweat soaked sheets if I do it in bed.

    I experienced sore neck due to bad sitting position due to long stints. Had to seek help for that. During holidays, when I had a lot of free time, I would get acute muscular pain in my "mouse clicking and mouse wheel" finger, so I had to alternate fingers to keep going and putting muscle soreness cream on the affected parts. I had wrist issues so I used a gel pad to support my wrist (you could get the same issue if you are a gamer). Had overall round-shaped back caused again by position...

    But when younger, I PMO'd a few times to the point that I had a burst blood vessel and also my peen ended up looking like an hourglass for a couple days...That was freaky, let me tell you.

    I had an unexplained blood clot in my leg - Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), the same type some get on airplanes because they stay seated for far too long.

    Because I cannot explain a probable cause for the DVT, I am on blood thinners, likely for life.

    I may not have been on an airplane, but I was certainly seated for hours at a time.

    I also had a low sperm count.

    I blame that on excessive orgasms.

    I'll bite. I am fairly certain I have popped a significant blood vessel in the primary unit of measure to the point of bleeding and swelling that lasted for a week or more. By some miracle that may be the only direct injury I can attribute to PMO.

    Not trying to derail the thread in any way, but I have had two DVTs (one last year that resulted in bilateral PE as well). If this is your first, you may not need blood thinners for life (that may end up being your call). Also, definitely consider which blood thinner to be on as warfarin is not the only option any longer (I am on them for life due to purely genetic reasons and familial history). I think my first DVT was caused by excessive sitting (audit work for 10-12 hours daily). A hematologist would consider that unprovoked, but I'd call it vocationally provoked.

    Lower back pain from sitting up in bed (in front of a laptop) for hours on end. All cured now. :)

    Besides aches and pains in my neck and back the only pain I feel is soreness and tightness in my abdominal area. It's hard to explain but it feels like a cloudiness that goes away when I stopped masturbating and watching porn. I assume it's my prostate going back to normal or something. I'm guessing Over M'ing causes inflammation. These symptoms go away after a few days, I feel fine but when I over M I feel sore and physically lethargic/restricted.

    I think a cock with big badass dorsal vein looks proper, but that's just me! :p

    But we are all here to learn the lesson that masturbating to porn is damaging.
     
  11. The thing with M is that if you do it for longer periods of time, especially if you do it for too long, like edging, your penis might start to look like an eggplant. Also headaches are common. Proof that the body can't handle it. IMO the internal metabolism is what really gets affected. It's best to just avoid it all together if you want a healthy body, mind and life.

    WOW guys, I know I shouldn't laugh (and believe me I am more than sympathetic to what you've written here) but it some of your injuries do conjour up a comedy mental image. For example, in the middle of a fap when suddenly **BANG** there goes my shoulder :D Just imagining fapping so hard and so furiously you put your shoulder out, that's pretty hardcore. Please, please, don't take offense by this I just saw the funny side of it that's all. And to be honest by the way, I can relate to the tight shoulders and back back from being hunched over my laptop or phone looking at P so you're not alone. Wishing you all massive success with your reboots!!!!

    Over time damage to a shoulder that was hurting already. A claw likeness in the hand. Definitely hurt my back from scrunching down over the computer while wanking. I've literally pulled my rip cage off my lower abdomen after coming out of a fap haze. Hurts the eyesight constantly looking at images all day and not getting sunlight.

    Some people are harmed in less obvious ways from their porn use. :( Some guys think that only a circumcised penis looks beautiful and have part of their penis removed just to conform to what they usually see on porn. :oops: Can you imagine the money being spent by people to have a bigger cock simply because most porn actors have larger than average genitals? :eek: Or the billions spent by both genders to wax and buff their genitals to a prepubescent look to conform to porn ideals? o_O On that last point, of course, people will come up with pretexts to remove body hair. But they didn't 30-40 years ago. But porn is ubiquitous and we are all being programmed about what we should look like when we get our kit off in front of others! :rolleyes:

    Again spot on @IGY there are much more harmful effects mentally sometimes than pysically. Like you say the quest for the perfect looking penis/body to conform to those you've seen in a P film. Believing that having those attributes will get you a P star style girlfriend. The world definitely doesn't work that way, I mean I'm pretty happy with my body, penis size etc. I'm in no way massive, but not small either. I've had my fair share of girlfriends in the past and also been married. However, my body has gone through a lot in my 37 years here, I've had a kidney transplant when I was 15, open heart surgery at ages 4 and 21, so definitely got my own battle scars to show. So sometimes being a bit imperfect makes you perfect to someone else :)
