Masturbation Shrinks Penis, Causes Hairy Palms & Blindness

Today I’m going to talk about masturbating and how it affects your body and especially your mind.

Lots of Questions About Masturbation

Because of my blog and the hundreds of millions of views, in addition to my social media channels, I’ve had a LOT of guys ask me about masturbation.

And it’s daily and it doesn’t seem to ever stop.

And because of this, I’ve done a lot of articles about this topic and I’ll give you the links to them at the end of this article.

confusion

However, I figured with all these articles about masturbation it would be enough. But the questions keep coming and at times, I find them somewhat silly.

“How often can I masturbate, I don’t want to do it incorrectly”
“Will it make me lose muscle”
“Is it going to shrink my penis if I do it daily”
“Will it stop me from growing”
“How quickly can I have an orgasm without it affecting my health”
“Will I get some other health problem”
“Can I masturbate AND still have sex”
And on and on and on

I think to myself, “why is he asking me this? Is he being serious?”

And then, I stop and go back in time to when I was young.

“Masturbation, Blindness & Hairy Palms”!

The silly things we used to be told, such as “masturbating will make you go blind” or “give you hairy palms” and other stupid things that a young, impressionable boy may believe.

And as you may know, most guys are NOT good at communicating. And when it comes to masturbating, this is something we never talked about growing up.

Thus, why so many are confused and lost.

It was something we all did but never spoke about it out loud. It was a taboo topic.

NO Talk About Sex In My Home Growing Up

For example, in my own home, we NEVER spoke about anything sexual. It was 3 boys – me and my two older brothers – and there was never any talk about women. It was odd. But, my dad is really old school and super strict.

no talk

I remember this one time the entire family — mom, dad, and my brothers and I – were all watching something on TV or a rented movie or something. It was like a Game of Thrones type of movie and some renaissance girl took her top off and exposed her breasts briefly.

Within seconds my dad says to me, “Son, it’s time for bed”.

Mind you, it was like 8 pm.

I think I was in my very early teens and since my brothers were much older than me, 12 and 15 years – my dad was talking directly to ME.

I thought, “what the hell, I’ve seen plenty of tits in my time…” Well, you know – like in Playboy and stuff.

But, that was that – I got up and went to my bedroom and there was never any talk about it, ever.

Thus, I got the point – no talk about sexual stuff, ever!!!… and certainly not about masturbation.

“Wet Dreams” & Nocturnal Emissions

Another time I remember speaking to one of my best friends, Greg, about this topic when we were in our late 20s and he said, “yeah, growing up my mom told me to never masturbate or else I’ll go to hell, and that I’m a bad person… And so, I never masturbated growing up.”

I then said, “But how? … Men produce hundreds of millions of sperm daily, it has to come out – especially with the crazy testosterone levels of a teenage boy.”

Greg replied, “I didn’t know – I guess this is why I had wet dreams every single night. And in the morning, I’d get up early and wash my sheets or underwear, so my mom wouldn’t find out.”

embarrassed

He didn’t want his mom to think less of him.

This is all because he was ashamed or embarrassed or felt guilty and didn’t know any better.

The Masturbation “Confusion” Continues…

Unfortunately, the problem still exists, decades later. Even with the internet, guys are still very confused about the topic of masturbating.

However, I DO think that the situation has gotten worse because of all the porn readily available online.

To a super horny young man, he can’t help himself. Porn can be addictive.

By the way, this isn’t just men – women are watching a ton of porn as well.

And these days, it’s a lot more hardcore and graphic, compared to when I was young. When all we had was Playboy and maybe Penthouse.

Porn, Masturbation & Addiction

PORN, at a young age, DOES change how the mind perceives sex, himself, and women. It rewires things in the brain.

It’s addictive due to the Dopamine stimulation, just like cocaine.

So, for a lot of guys, porn has become a bit of an addiction.

It gets in the way of productivity, closeness with other people, and sexual connections in relationships.

Something To Think About

Anyway, I’m going to end today’s topic with some things to think about, IF you’re concerned or confused about masturbation.

It’s totally natural – so, don’t feel guilty or ashamed, or think there’s something wrong with you. There is no specific right or wrong way, or how much or how often.

You’re not going to go blind, get hairy palmsnot grow taller, or have other physical problems.

You’re not going to hell either and God isn’t going to hate you or whatever. He’s got bigger problems to deal with.

However, you also cannot let masturbation control you. You can’t let IT and porn control your actions and/or get in the way of relationships or getting stuff done during the day.

This I see is the biggest problem with masturbation, especially compounded with porn, are the addictive aspects of it.

Not because you’re PHYSICALLY horny, but something PSYCHOLOGICALLY is happening.

That’s not natural, normal, or healthy.

It’s more of mental addiction, rather than a physical one.

Even though masturbation is a physical act, NOT mental!

Anyway, that’s it for today. These other masturbation-related articles will help to give you more clarity, so you can feel more confident:
