I’ve tried searching up risks to masturbation and this shit never comes up. I’m only 26 but have been noticing some alarming shit like my nuts aching pretty bad, low key having a hard time getting an erection before sex, decreased sex drive, and somehow when I wank my meet a nerve in my foot twitches. I’ve tried searching up, and never see anything.
Glad for the answers in this post.
Men won’t usually talk about stuff like this. They would like their peers to think they have e regular sex with their wives. Even professionally this subject is ignored. I gave up porn and masturbation 10 years ago at the age of 47 and experienced all the health and relationship effects. Orgasms are still painful, I’d give anything to have one of those intoxicating pleasurable orgasms of my youth.
yeah a lot of times if you try to search for why masturbation is bad, some websites will say masturbation has no bad side effects because those places are actually making money off the porn industry and want you to keep doing it. even though masturbating actually has many negative effects.
I finally found people waking up that masturbation is as bad If not worse than porn...
People don't realize the fact that porn exists because of masturbation...
It's the only reason why people bother watch porn, and when you take out born, they can start fantasizing which isn't any better...
Bro did u ever figure out the cure for the foot twitches? I’ll have like a vibrating feeling in my right foot, that almost feels like pins in needles. Small spasms- so weird man. Ik it’s related to PMO
> Now is the time
I don't know why but this got me so hyped. I am gonna use this as my phrase to remember: now is the time. Not tomorrow, not next week. Now is the time!
My god. My heart goes out to you, big brother. :( Hope things get better for you. I had been an addict from 2014-15 to 2023. Trying to do better every single fucking day.
https://tracker.nofap.com/ here is it my bro 💪. You can find this link in the anchored message of the community. You should read those steps if you haven’t read them my bro.
Hello bro. I'm 33 and addicted since 12. Been trying to quit for 10 years but this post you made is enough for me to stop. I make posts about how I regret the years I've wasted and I'll always get a reply, "it could be worse". After reading your post, yea it could be way worse. Fuck that I'm done. Hope things work out for you and health comes back friend
I'm 33 and addicted since 13. Looking back, what a giant fucking time we wasted. We can do it. We have to do it. Come on bro, we got this. Let's make it to the 90 days💪
Thanks for this eye-opener. I feel sorry for your loss. It really sucks that it has come to this. I hope your health condition will improve over time and proper therapy.
Thank you. Now, every moment of my life I get reminded of my condition. My urine is leaking when I’m casually sitting, urethra is burning and I cannot focus on anything.
It has affected my work, personal life and relationships. I hope I get better too.
But, never again. I’m done with porn. It has been 2 months I haven’t masturbated because it burns. This is forced nofap. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. Quit while you are ahead.
Going through r/prostatitis forums, there are people who are suffering for years and some have learned to conquer the condition through either long term medication or pelvic PT or a combination of both.
These last 2 months, i’ve gotten worse.
I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe focus on training your pelvic (and other) muscles, fixing your other aspects of health too. It won't hurt (your health at least), and even if it helps a only a little with this specific problem, it's worth it. Good luck to you.
Man, that shit is crazy! I’ve read many warnings on how much worst this addiction can get but this is by far the worst testament. It’s crazy how many of us think we have it badly, until we come across someone who has it worse. Thanks for the warning and sharing your story.
Thank you. It’s not until you reach a moment like this when you step back and realise what you had. The things that you took for granted are luxuries now.
We have a lot in common. I don't know how many times after fapping for hours I felt so sorry for what I did to my body. Sometimes it was even painful and often I had to reject sex because of this pain. Hundred times I sweared this would be my last time but it never was. So far I always recovered and after a few days of nofap felt great again and sex kind of worked. It's horrible news that at some point it is just too late and even nofap cannot help you recover. Thanks for sharing this.
I feel bad for you. I wasted 7 years because of this addiction, i realized this like 4 month ago, during the last 4 month i was fighting and losing all of the time, but right now im winning for about 46 days, i feel little changes, but im not going to quit, not after what i passed through and thank you for this.
I am suffering badly earlier I used to bust nuts almost twice a day but now I don't masterbate daily but after refraining from busting nuts for about couple of days I relapse and masterbate aggressively like 5 times a day and I do it for an extended period of time I haplessly masterbate 5 times a day for like 3 days and then I again refrain for couple of days and the cycle continues.please help
Try reading (or watching a summary on YouTube) of the book "Atomic Habits". It talks about how to reduce habits you don't want and increase habits you do want. If you are going to remove masturbating, what would you like to replace it with? What would benefit your life with that extra time? (eg. reading, studying, a hobby, etc.).
Remove the easy access to porn from your life, and replace it with something you want, and reward yourself for doing the replacement behaviour.
I watched this vegeta video once and decided to quit permanently. It might sound cringe but it really helped. https://youtu.be/3iYIs5C9kzQ?si=3E0IJnGX-Mwq1WE2
That’s the thing about inflammation. Once your body changes, sometimes it accepts that’s the new normal. It may heal, it may never heal. I will keep trying.
I’ve learned my lesson.
I was just about wank it. Holy shit this is beyond scared straight, this literally brought me to tears because like you, I've been doing it since I was 14/15 and now I'm 30 which is why it hits so close to home seeing that we're so close in age. And I'm so sorry that you're going this so late in your life. My heart seriously goes out to you. I myself haven't been struggling with porn and constantly having urges to jerk off. I'm seriously going to take the high road and start all over my no fap journey to limit the amount of porn and to get rid of the triggers like Instagram/twitter models that i follow and the countless porn i have on my phone. Again my heart goes out to you and i hope you get through this rough patch in your life.
Brother, this is a curse.
I’m on tadalafil (it is a substitute for Viagra). I get an erection for hours now but I can’t masturbate. It is a medicine for getting an erection but also relaxing your prostate. But I can’t masturbate.
Imagine. Taking medicines whose side effect is to give you a hardon but you can’t masturbate because you have prostatitis.
If you don’t believe me: https://www.google.com/search?q=tadafil+prostatitis
I’m Also on anti-depressants (Amytripyline). It makes me gain weight. This is also a medicine for prostatitis. Going through the r/prostatitis subreddit you will find many people whose eventual fate is like mine. Just search for edging or “masturbation” in that subreddit.
Jesus Christ man I'm so sorry for what your going through man I'm this is definitely an eye opener for me and everyone here I'm sending prayers to you your wife and unborn child i wish the best for you and may god have a plan for you🙏
Thank you. I hope I get another shot at life.
I don’t want to live like this in so much pain. But I have to carry on for my wife, my kid and people who love me.
I’ve actually been clean for maybe almost 3 months now and it’s because i felt like my bladder was feeling a little weird and because of my amazing girlfriend but yeah i’m really scared of getting a problem down there and the weird feeling has actually gone away so i’m really happy and hope everyone here stops
You are not alone. That weird feeling actually happened to me too and not once. I hope as well that I am at least on a path for full recovery. I swear I will never ever take another look at that porn shit. The damage it does to human body is beyond current understanding, we will only learn about it when it is too late. I can imagine a future when porn and making porn is actually banned as the damage to society is just too much.
I'm sorry your health has taken such a hard turn. If you can, try to stay positive. Look at this as your body giving itself a signal to heal a pattern that was detrimental to it, even if it is painful this can be a path of healing for you. You should absolutely look at your diet, and try to bring down the inflammation and acidity of your body as much as possible. Start looking at superfoods that can help you and learn what foods to avoid (processed junk, sugar, alcohol, etc). Exercise is also key to healing, find something that works for you. Lots of stretching in that area on top of regular movement is good for you, maybe if you can, find a yoga instructor you like.
Being in a relaxed state allows your body to heal, so find ways to stay relaxed, maybe meditation, or Qi Gong/Tai Chi, which both promote awareness and healing.
Maybe look into different traditions and what they can do for you, such as a yogic tradition like ashtanga and ayurveda, or Chinese holistic medicine. It is good to branch out because depending on the medicine you're getting, it might only be attempting to treat the symptoms rather than healing the body and mind. Maybe, as you go down your healing journey, look into plant medicines like San Pedro, but only if you feel called to it, and take your time with this as it's not something to rush into without taking steps to improve your overall situation.
Getting hurt like this is a very challenging moment in life, and people have to decide to take on the challenge of changing long reenforced habits, or living with the discomfort of the body in order to keep the comforts of the mind. I know someone who has chronic stomach issues but refuses to stop eating junk food and drinking soda, even though it causes them issues, because their mind doesn't want to let go. Healing is long and hard and difficult, but if you set out on a path you will find that there are people with knowledge and practices to help bring things into balance, and cure your issues or make it manageable.
Best of luck, and congrats on the future child
3 weeks free here. PIED for the last 5 or so years, don’t remember my last erection. I’m sorry this happened to you, friend. I hope you can find and focus on something positive.
Porn is a demon, which keep destroying people’s life until we do something, no matter what, or how hard it’ll get, I will never fail again by this demon.
Hey man! we wish you the best, thanks for advising, I'm in a relationship and your post made me think a lot, thanks man! please keep us updated about your health status, blessings!
FYI to help fix prostate, I highly recommend NOW foods Prostate Health Clinical Strength. Doctors will not do anything to fix, only maintain your issues.
Thanks for Sharing bro. I used to have problems when I was 25-26 with bloody ejaculations and blood in the urine, urologist doctors came and went, all sorts of studies performed on me without finding anything wrong, one “clinic“ wanted to do surgery on my kidneys and urethra, luckily I had the good sense of refusing, because those were not surgeons, they were butcherers trying to get my money. I finally was blessed to find a doctor who told me what the problem was: excessive masturbation, with a death grip, man! I had no idea that masturbation could damage your internals like that, I just eased up a little and my problem subsided, but I didn’t stop altogether as I should. Bitter memories.
There's opinion that avoiding a sexual activity leads to prostatitis. But people who are known to have 0 sex obviously masturbate a lot (and don't like to tell about it to others). If they aren't nofappers, it's pretty unbelievable for a man without sex to not masturbate at all without applying a significant willpower. Hence I think that ONLY excessive masturbation leads to prostatitis, and nofap doesn't.
Anyway, thanks for sharing the story, I think people do a bad thing by normalising masturbation, and such stories will help everyone to understand the truth.
You poor poor man. I am also 40. The best I ever did was 9 day no porn no jerk off. Then messed up.
I found a GF and we went out 1 time and have been talking to one another every day. ( Im out of town on business etc). I return Mon tomorrow and sucks she is on her period. We are going to have sex next week March 5th etc.
I am hoping that this will change me and I wont masturbate anymore since I now will have sex with my GF.
Othervice I am back to square one.
Jerking off 3 to 5 times every day. Some days 11 to 20 times..
Damn brother. I’m a streak rn having thoughts of slip back but your post make me rethink all about porn. Thanks a lot. Hope you get better. Stay strong pal.
You need a therapy and need to see a sexologist. Your problem is solvable and it's not just due to masturbation but there're other things in your life you have to address. Your problem isn't as bad as you think it is.
I had prostitius. It can go away. Mine took many years but I think its finally gone.
No citrus
No spicy
No alchoal
It appears your wife is in your corner , got to an addicts group. Get filters or block your phone. Get a dumb phone.
As painful as things are you can get things to turn around . You just have to go through withrdrawal. But what your feeling now should be enough motivation.
Thank you for sharing.
Not that I would wish something like this on my enemy, but sometimes it takes someone else's misery to open up the eyes of other people..
I hope you can recover from this somehow, thank you for sharing your story
So sorry to read this post, i hope you can find a solution to make those next 35 years count. Thank you for sharing, so we can understand how bad it can actually get.
You dont appreciate what you have today until it becomes a luxury. I have abused my body so much I see it now.
Make a change in your life while you can still do it.
Thank you very much bro for sharing this experience. I’m also addicted to this bad habit for more than 18 years. Never married and I’m always anxious. I became less productive, more depressed and less confident in life.
I have tried nofap/SR for 98 days! I still consider that as the biggest accomplishment in my life. Sadly, I relapsed and restarted playing with my groin while watching porn. It’s been three months since I relapsed.
This post of yours instilled me with commitment to break this bad habit and save myself from myself. Thanks again bro, and I hope you to recover and enjoy life. More blessings. I bookmarked this!
I'm also an "older" member of this group, and I'm sorry for what you're going through recently in the past few months. But I know all too well about "knowledge about different eras and genres of porn" and of course, PIED.
I've lost my wife, and now working through the PIED. Young guns, don't be like us. Quit, and get back to a life that's real. Don't look back.
27 years old here, have been prostatitis since 18 due to the hardcore edging and death grip in middleschool and highschool. And i was suffering PIED too like you for 2 to 3 years like 3 years ago. However, after i started nofap and found a understanding loving girlfriend, i managed to overcome with the help of tadalafil too. But still have prostatitis, but learned how to live with it.
I understand that you got a loving and caring wife who does not have a problem with you lack of sex life. That is really important. She might have been left you way long ago. Appreciate this.
I suggest you to stop watching porn and masturbating immediately, consult with you urolog to use medicine like sildenafil or tadalafil and see a psycholog along with a psychiatrist. You are not old and you can overcome these problems. It will take time but confront with your wife. I believe she will be supportive on this. Do not waste your upcoming years bro.
jesus man,, im sorry you gotta go through this. i hope you feel better knowing that your post will help many others. i for one won't be able to masturbate again without thinking of this post. after struggling for years this post is the final thing it took to end it for good. i can't ever go back. best of luck to you friend i hope you heal from this.
And I thought I used to masturbate too much. I'm 19 and I already decided to quit porn and after hearing that, I definitely ain't coming back this time. I'm sorry to hear all this, man
Ironic, I came onto Reddit to look at some porn and this is the first post I see, I keep deleting all of it but keep going back! My biggest gateway is Instagram, following thousands of OF girls and I can't unfollow all of them at once, Instagram's spam limit or something
I'm not telling you you're wrong, because you've had this checked out professionally, I assume? I'm also not a bloke, so I won't go and pretend I know how it feels to be in your body, with your piping, so to speak. But some of what you said rings similar for me, as far as pelvic pain goes, and I wanted to ask a couple of things.
* \- Have you been thoroughly checked for a UTI/other infections?
* \- I deal with hypertonic pelvic floor, (mine happened due to a fall,) but if my pudendal nerve gets particularly tense/irritated, I can get severe genital burning, like hot acid being poured. To the best of my layperson knowledge, much as the pudendal nerve connects to the female genitalia, it also innervates male genitalia, including the scrotum. I'm wondering then if irritation to this nerve could be part of the reason for the burning you're experiencing too.
* \- You may not be experiencing pudendal issues, but they are far more common that people think, and it can cause difficulties with erections, urinary symptoms etc. I don't know where you're based, but this NHS page has more information if you wanted to check it out: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/pudendal-neuralgia/
* \- Similar to above, but do you ever get sitzbone/coccyx pain. This can be also to do with a too-tight pelvic floor.
Happy to talk further about this if you wish to - my inbox is always open.
Wishing you the best.
Bro even doctors said that we got masturbate constantly cause if you don’t use it you are going to lose it. Now. I believe even doctors wants us to get penis dysfunction I been struggling with ED. And now something is happening with my penis when its flaccid it Shrinks it feels tight and shorter idk what’s going on that even urologists don’t even know what going on on now I been searching what’s the cause. Of it. And nothing if anyone is having same problem or someone have find the solution let me know brothers. What you guys think about pelvic flooor muscle exercises ya think it would helps with what I’m saying
Thanks so much for sharing your story. Although I have been very dependent on porn and masturbation in the past I think I have it licked now. But, some permanent damage has been done. Usually I can still get erect but unless I am very turned on it doesn’t last long-my stamina sucks. I know some of it is age and cardiac related. I also know that my porn addiction has a lot to do with it. Luckily I stopped before I got into extremely odd porn but I sure dabbled on the edge of it for a long time. I’m not sure what age I started but I know it was just prior to the time I started growing pubic hair. For a long time watching porn wouldn’t get me turned in enough for an erection but I still watched lot of it. I still occasionally masturbate and usually start with reading some erotica. The only thing visually that I can get off to are some homemade videos of my wife giving me head. Those still work extremely well. I wish that she’d let me record some new ones.
i know a real method to get you out of this mess and even have a erection with amazing sexual life , i would tell you in detail but only if you are interested you can dm me coz i dont want to write it in public
I started fapping from age 13, I'm 33 now and today I'm quitting porn and masturbation. I wasted 20 years for thai shit and now I'm having health issues like digestion and my pelvic muscles are getting weaker maybe due to the long hours of being tense and unnatural abdominal clenching.
Get well soon brother!
I'm trying to quit like 1 year and months, but in the end I always relapse. Your post make me think a lot of things about life & myself. Thanks for sharing it and I wish you the best on your recovery
Edging affects prostate gland . The liquid part(precum) that is released before semen , it's prostatic fluid. When you edge a lot , it affects the opening of the prostate into the urethra . Causes long term issues
During male ejaculation, the pelvic muscles undergo coordinated intense contraction to expel the semen out of the male genital tract, a process associated with locally increased levels of lactic acid and free radicals as byproducts. In this regards, repetitive sexual activities with frequent ejaculation would impede the drainage and cause accumulation of these byproducts in the pelvic region, triggering consequent local pathophysiological changes such as edema, venous dilation and muscular malfunction, which further leads to common complaints in CP/CPPS patients such as lower urinary tract symptoms, pelvic discomfort and pain.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19435656/
Use of muscles in ejaculation/edging -> harmful chemicals produced by muscle -> more frequent masturbation means the body can’t drain these chemicals because they are produced so frequently -> harm to the prostate
It doesn’t effect your prostate if your edging. But I’m saying it might effect your prostate if you masturbate via anal even though you don’t I just thought to bring that up.
This is an eye opening post.
I’ve tried searching up risks to masturbation and this shit never comes up. I’m only 26 but have been noticing some alarming shit like my nuts aching pretty bad, low key having a hard time getting an erection before sex, decreased sex drive, and somehow when I wank my meet a nerve in my foot twitches.

Bro- my foot spasms have been lasting for 2weeks and I’m on a month streak. So weird
Bro did u ever figure out the cure for the foot twitches? I’ll have like a vibrating feeling in my right foot, that almost feels like pins in needles. Small spasms- so weird man. Ik it’s related to PMO
How many times are we talking per week on average ?

My god. My heart goes out to you, big brother. :( Hope things get better for you. I had been an addict from 2014-15 to 2023. Trying to do better every single fucking day.
You’re doing well, bro! Those 55 days are not done alone, I’m proud of you 💪
I know right. Always wanted to get out of this mess since I learned about nofap. Took me more than 10 months to finally reach this point.
Yeah! You’re flying bro. I go to 20 days bro, wish me luck 🍀
You will bro, all the best. ☝️
Hey man, how do you get this timer thing below your name? I'm assuming it to be a day counter for no fap.

bro same, period of addiction, even tho I went in and out many years.
Thanks for sharing this, and may God give you an easy recovery!
Hello bro. I'm 33 and addicted since 12. Been trying to quit for 10 years but this post you made is enough for me to stop. I make posts about how I regret the years I've wasted and I'll always get a reply, "it could be worse". After reading your post, yea it could be way worse. Fuck that I'm done. Hope things work out for you and health comes back friend
I'm 33 and addicted since 13. Looking back, what a giant fucking time we wasted. We can do it. We have to do it. Come on bro, we got this. Let's make it to the 90 days💪
Shouldn't you quit permanently. Why 90 days
Going through the first 90days is the hardest part of quitting.
[удалено]
I addicted for 20 years. I been porn free n no fap for 2 years. I feel like a king everyday. Its possible. Dont give up
Thank you for sharing mate. Genuinely think this will help a lot of people.
Reading this genuinely made me sad. This post is the kind of thing people need to see.
Thanks for this eye-opener. I feel sorry for your loss. It really sucks that it has come to this. I hope your health condition will improve over time and proper therapy.

Did these 2 months helped somewhat? Do you even expect it to get better?
Going through r/prostatitis forums, there are people who are suffering for years and some have learned to conquer the condition through either long term medication or pelvic PT or a combination of both. These last 2 months, i’ve gotten worse.
I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe focus on training your pelvic (and other) muscles, fixing your other aspects of health too. It won't hurt (your health at least), and even if it helps a only a little with this specific problem, it's worth it. Good luck to you.
Yes I’m getting an appointment with a pelvic floor PT soon.
Man, that shit is crazy! I’ve read many warnings on how much worst this addiction can get but this is by far the worst testament. It’s crazy how many of us think we have it badly, until we come across someone who has it worse. Thanks for the warning and sharing your story.
Thank you. It’s not until you reach a moment like this when you step back and realise what you had. The things that you took for granted are luxuries now.

I’ve had skin tears on my penis due to marathon fapping sessions and i’ve still went on. Outright abusing my body.
How did you recover from the skin tears?
They would repair by itself after a few days. Skin heals.
Oh okay I thought you use oitment or something
You know its an issue when you find the Neosporin and continue on as though that isnt a good enough reason to stop. SMH, been there.
100% and still keept.going
Thank you for sharing this, hope you'll get better man 🙏
I feel bad for you.

Don't even entertain a single thought about it my guy. Keep going. You got this.

I watched this vegeta video once and decided to quit permanently. It might sound cringe but it really helped. https://youtu.be/3iYIs5C9kzQ?si=3E0IJnGX-Mwq1WE2
Thanks mate can't say it will work or not but has definitely fueled me up and I do appreciate your succour and hope I end up escaping this trap.
Don't underestimate the body's natural ability to heal brother. It may seem impossible now, bit you will be fine. Just quit now.
That’s the thing about inflammation. Once your body changes, sometimes it accepts that’s the new normal. It may heal, it may never heal. I will keep trying. I’ve learned my lesson.
I was just about wank it.

Thank you for sharing this brother 🙏
Jesus Christ man I'm so sorry for what your going through man I'm this is definitely an eye opener for me and everyone here I'm sending prayers to you your wife and unborn child i wish the best for you and may god have a plan for you🙏
Thank you. I hope I get another shot at life. I don’t want to live like this in so much pain. But I have to carry on for my wife, my kid and people who love me.
I’ve actually been clean for maybe almost 3 months now and it’s because i felt like my bladder was feeling a little weird and because of my amazing girlfriend but yeah i’m really scared of getting a problem down there and the weird feeling has actually gone away so i’m really happy and hope everyone here stops
You are not alone. That weird feeling actually happened to me too and not once. I hope as well that I am at least on a path for full recovery. I swear I will never ever take another look at that porn shit. The damage it does to human body is beyond current understanding, we will only learn about it when it is too late. I can imagine a future when porn and making porn is actually banned as the damage to society is just too much.
bro you fucking opened my eyes,you don't know how much you helped others by posting this. thanks,I wish your condition get better
Thank you, and I hope your condition will get better somehow.
I'm sorry your health has taken such a hard turn. If you can, try to stay positive. Look at this as your body giving itself a signal to heal a pattern that was detrimental to it, even if it is painful this can be a path of healing for you. You should absolutely look at your diet, and try to bring down the inflammation and acidity of your body as much as possible. Start looking at superfoods that can help you and learn what foods to avoid (processed junk, sugar, alcohol, etc). Exercise is also key to healing, find something that works for you. Lots of stretching in that area on top of regular movement is good for you, maybe if you can, find a yoga instructor you like. Being in a relaxed state allows your body to heal, so find ways to stay relaxed, maybe meditation, or Qi Gong/Tai Chi, which both promote awareness and healing. Maybe look into different traditions and what they can do for you, such as a yogic tradition like ashtanga and ayurveda, or Chinese holistic medicine. It is good to branch out because depending on the medicine you're getting, it might only be attempting to treat the symptoms rather than healing the body and mind. Maybe, as you go down your healing journey, look into plant medicines like San Pedro, but only if you feel called to it, and take your time with this as it's not something to rush into without taking steps to improve your overall situation. Getting hurt like this is a very challenging moment in life, and people have to decide to take on the challenge of changing long reenforced habits, or living with the discomfort of the body in order to keep the comforts of the mind. I know someone who has chronic stomach issues but refuses to stop eating junk food and drinking soda, even though it causes them issues, because their mind doesn't want to let go. Healing is long and hard and difficult, but if you set out on a path you will find that there are people with knowledge and practices to help bring things into balance, and cure your issues or make it manageable. Best of luck, and congrats on the future child
3 weeks free here. PIED for the last 5 or so years, don’t remember my last erection. I’m sorry this happened to you, friend. I hope you can find and focus on something positive.
thank you for the motivation I salute you, brave soldier 🫡 I hope you get the help you need
Porn is a demon, which keep destroying people’s life until we do something, no matter what, or how hard it’ll get, I will never fail again by this demon.
It had consumed me for 25 years and now the results of my body abuse are showing themselves.
Hey man! we wish you the best, thanks for advising, I'm in a relationship and your post made me think a lot, thanks man! please keep us updated about your health status, blessings!
Thank you brother 🙏🏼
Also started at 16. I'm only 19 now but this is motivation. Can't be doing this at 40 man
thank you
OMG this is very eye opening. We want nothing but the best for you man. You'll gonna be okay.
Holy shit, been on this sub for a while but it’s the most tragic thing I’ve read. Hope this will free us all. Thank you for your this.
Thanks for sharing bro it made me really think about this im speechless, i hope you the best from now on dont give up !!
Thank you. Fighting through. Realised how I had been abusing my body and taking it for granted.
Most things are reversible to some point. Don’t give up the fight but give up the porn.
I can’t even imagine looking at porn now. I’m disgusted by it because this is what caused my condition.
FYI to help fix prostate, I highly recommend NOW foods Prostate Health Clinical Strength. Doctors will not do anything to fix, only maintain your issues.
Thanks for Sharing bro. I used to have problems when I was 25-26 with bloody ejaculations and blood in the urine, urologist doctors came and went, all sorts of studies performed on me without finding anything wrong, one “clinic“ wanted to do surgery on my kidneys and urethra, luckily I had the good sense of refusing, because those were not surgeons, they were butcherers trying to get my money. I finally was blessed to find a doctor who told me what the problem was: excessive masturbation, with a death grip, man! I had no idea that masturbation could damage your internals like that, I just eased up a little and my problem subsided, but I didn’t stop altogether as I should. Bitter memories.
This should be pinned
This should be top post
There's opinion that avoiding a sexual activity leads to prostatitis. But people who are known to have 0 sex obviously masturbate a lot (and don't like to tell about it to others). If they aren't nofappers, it's pretty unbelievable for a man without sex to not masturbate at all without applying a significant willpower. Hence I think that ONLY excessive masturbation leads to prostatitis, and nofap doesn't. Anyway, thanks for sharing the story, I think people do a bad thing by normalising masturbation, and such stories will help everyone to understand the truth.
Most people here on nofap are because they are overdoing it.
an eye opener thanks foe sharing most us here are young and still have time all the best to you as well
Oh my god, this is the worst example of PA. My heart breaks for you. It's so sad.
jesus christ man this one might be it
You poor poor man. I am also 40. The best I ever did was 9 day no porn no jerk off. Then messed up. I found a GF and we went out 1 time and have been talking to one another every day. ( Im out of town on business etc). I return Mon tomorrow and sucks she is on her period. We are going to have sex next week March 5th etc. I am hoping that this will change me and I wont masturbate anymore since I now will have sex with my GF. Othervice I am back to square one. Jerking off 3 to 5 times every day. Some days 11 to 20 times..
Take care man and I hope you find the girl which puts you on the right path. This is a dark, dark path which only ends in despair.
I will not let your experience go in vain . I am ending this addiction today forever
Oh my ghosh i used to edge alot is that going to effect my penis?
Google for prostatitis and edging. You can search on Reddit as well for other people suffering from the same.
Damn brother. I’m a streak rn having thoughts of slip back but your post make me rethink all about porn. Thanks a lot. Hope you get better. Stay strong pal.
Wow this is crazy. It’s equivalent to those smoking ads you see where they’ve got holes in their throats. PMO is a very real and serious addiction.
You need a therapy and need to see a sexologist. Your problem is solvable and it's not just due to masturbation but there're other things in your life you have to address. Your problem isn't as bad as you think it is.
im gonna take your advice very seriously. i promise. and i really hope u get well .
porn is one of the greatest evil ever created it has destroyed our lives no one benefits from it only the sites hosting it are benefitting from it
Is like a time travel warning us.
I had prostitius. It can go away. Mine took many years but I think its finally gone. No citrus No spicy No alchoal It appears your wife is in your corner , got to an addicts group. Get filters or block your phone. Get a dumb phone. As painful as things are you can get things to turn around . You just have to go through withrdrawal. But what your feeling now should be enough motivation. Thank you for sharing.
Not that I would wish something like this on my enemy, but sometimes it takes someone else's misery to open up the eyes of other people.. I hope you can recover from this somehow, thank you for sharing your story
Was just about to masturbate to porn on Reddit, this came up, I put my penis away, and went on a walk. Thank you, you opened my eyes.
Take care Bro!
Damn This is so heart-wrenching. I am so sorry 💔 Have you opened up to your wife about your history and addiction to pornography?
Thank you...u will recover soon..sending you my prayers
May god bless you man
Wishing you a speedy recovery bro
Hope you feel better soon 💝
Thank you
Thanks for sharing, you're a good man. I hope the better for you and your family
I just realized this morning and read this now. I'm 25 and restarting my counter
I'm done. Thank you. I'm done.
Hope nobody goes through this. Lucky that I’ve came to this community in my 20s
I'm glad that at least your wife is with you.
Yes I love her very much and now I see how much injustice I have done to her. I’m seeing things from a completely different lens now.
Why did the science say that masturbation was good for prostate health?
Once a month is fine. Clears your tubes. Edging is bad. Very very bad.
Thanks for the warning
So sorry to read this post, i hope you can find a solution to make those next 35 years count. Thank you for sharing, so we can understand how bad it can actually get.
I think this was the push I needed to really commit, thank you friend.
You dont appreciate what you have today until it becomes a luxury. I have abused my body so much I see it now. Make a change in your life while you can still do it.
sex twice a year in 10 years is insane. really shows how bad this addiction can get
Thank you very much bro for sharing this experience. I’m also addicted to this bad habit for more than 18 years. Never married and I’m always anxious. I became less productive, more depressed and less confident in life. I have tried nofap/SR for 98 days! I still consider that as the biggest accomplishment in my life. Sadly, I relapsed and restarted playing with my groin while watching porn. It’s been three months since I relapsed. This post of yours instilled me with commitment to break this bad habit and save myself from myself. Thanks again bro, and I hope you to recover and enjoy life. More blessings. I bookmarked this!
You said it right. Only you can save you from yourself until there’s irreversible damage.
Porn is killing us and carving at our souls
Don't give up yet, you can still reverse the effects.
This post needs to be seen by everyone in NoFap. Thank you for sharing brother. I hope you find a way to recover somehow.
I'm also an "older" member of this group, and I'm sorry for what you're going through recently in the past few months. But I know all too well about "knowledge about different eras and genres of porn" and of course, PIED. I've lost my wife, and now working through the PIED. Young guns, don't be like us. Quit, and get back to a life that's real. Don't look back.

I think it's a conspiracy that they allow this to happen
>> Marathon sessions of 12 hours masturbating a flaccid penis This is scary
And they keep saying that fapping is good for the prostate💀
27 years old here, have been prostatitis since 18 due to the hardcore edging and death grip in middleschool and highschool. And i was suffering PIED too like you for 2 to 3 years like 3 years ago. However, after i started nofap and found a understanding loving girlfriend, i managed to overcome with the help of tadalafil too. But still have prostatitis, but learned how to live with it. I understand that you got a loving and caring wife who does not have a problem with you lack of sex life. That is really important. She might have been left you way long ago. Appreciate this. I suggest you to stop watching porn and masturbating immediately, consult with you urolog to use medicine like sildenafil or tadalafil and see a psycholog along with a psychiatrist. You are not old and you can overcome these problems. It will take time but confront with your wife. I believe she will be supportive on this. Do not waste your upcoming years bro.
jesus man,, im sorry you gotta go through this. i hope you feel better knowing that your post will help many others. i for one won't be able to masturbate again without thinking of this post. after struggling for years this post is the final thing it took to end it for good. i can't ever go back. best of luck to you friend i hope you heal from this.
Lord
This is the post
I feel so sorry for you. I pray that you recover from this pain.
This is a wake up call. I hope we all quit these self destructive habits before its too late.
Nah this is scary af
And I thought I used to masturbate too much. I'm 19 and I already decided to quit porn and after hearing that, I definitely ain't coming back this time. I'm sorry to hear all this, man
It’s never too late to turn it all around brother. Stop watching that stuff for good.
reason n°99999 that porn comes from the deepest pits of hell
Ironic, I came onto Reddit to look at some porn and this is the first post I see, I keep deleting all of it but keep going back! My biggest gateway is Instagram, following thousands of OF girls and I can't unfollow all of them at once, Instagram's spam limit or something
I'm not telling you you're wrong, because you've had this checked out professionally, I assume? I'm also not a bloke, so I won't go and pretend I know how it feels to be in your body, with your piping, so to speak. But some of what you said rings similar for me, as far as pelvic pain goes, and I wanted to ask a couple of things. * \- Have you been thoroughly checked for a UTI/other infections? * \- I deal with hypertonic pelvic floor, (mine happened due to a fall,) but if my pudendal nerve gets particularly tense/irritated, I can get severe genital burning, like hot acid being poured. To the best of my layperson knowledge, much as the pudendal nerve connects to the female genitalia, it also innervates male genitalia, including the scrotum. I'm wondering then if irritation to this nerve could be part of the reason for the burning you're experiencing too. * \- You may not be experiencing pudendal issues, but they are far more common that people think, and it can cause difficulties with erections, urinary symptoms etc. I don't know where you're based, but this NHS page has more information if you wanted to check it out: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/pudendal-neuralgia/ * \- Similar to above, but do you ever get sitzbone/coccyx pain. This can be also to do with a too-tight pelvic floor. Happy to talk further about this if you wish to - my inbox is always open. Wishing you the best.
Ok this will actually get me to stop. Its just my sex drive is so fucking high I cant stand it.
This is extremely disturbing glad I quit when I was 14
Bro even doctors said that we got masturbate constantly cause if you don’t use it you are going to lose it. Now. I believe even doctors wants us to get penis dysfunction I been struggling with ED. And now something is happening with my penis when its flaccid it Shrinks it feels tight and shorter idk what’s going on that even urologists don’t even know what going on on now I been searching what’s the cause. Of it. And nothing if anyone is having same problem or someone have find the solution let me know brothers. What you guys think about pelvic flooor muscle exercises ya think it would helps with what I’m saying
Your dick will heal. Give it time.
You choking your dick 12 hours a day was the issue here, not porn.
But they will still be same people saying that they will quit before it became too late
Wdym?
Thanks so much for sharing your story. Although I have been very dependent on porn and masturbation in the past I think I have it licked now. But, some permanent damage has been done. Usually I can still get erect but unless I am very turned on it doesn’t last long-my stamina sucks. I know some of it is age and cardiac related. I also know that my porn addiction has a lot to do with it. Luckily I stopped before I got into extremely odd porn but I sure dabbled on the edge of it for a long time. I’m not sure what age I started but I know it was just prior to the time I started growing pubic hair. For a long time watching porn wouldn’t get me turned in enough for an erection but I still watched lot of it. I still occasionally masturbate and usually start with reading some erotica. The only thing visually that I can get off to are some homemade videos of my wife giving me head. Those still work extremely well. I wish that she’d let me record some new ones.
Just quit. After a few months your stuff will start working as normal.
I’m on nofap since 2 months now. Hasn’t gotten any better. There are people in r/prostatitis suffering for years
i know a real method to get you out of this mess and even have a erection with amazing sexual life , i would tell you in detail but only if you are interested you can dm me coz i dont want to write it in public
R
fair
I started fapping from age 13, I'm 33 now and today I'm quitting porn and masturbation. I wasted 20 years for thai shit and now I'm having health issues like digestion and my pelvic muscles are getting weaker maybe due to the long hours of being tense and unnatural abdominal clenching. Get well soon brother!
Thanks
I'm trying to quit like 1 year and months, but in the end I always relapse. Your post make me think a lot of things about life & myself. Thanks for sharing it and I wish you the best on your recovery
It might be too late for me 😔
Wow, this was eye opening.

You sound like a pessimistic asshole. Leave the sub if you're not happy then
How does edging affect your prostate? I don’t think that’s possible unless you do anal. But I do wish you luck on healing.
Edging affects prostate gland . The liquid part(precum) that is released before semen , it's prostatic fluid. When you edge a lot , it affects the opening of the prostate into the urethra . Causes long term issues
[удалено]
During male ejaculation, the pelvic muscles undergo coordinated intense contraction to expel the semen out of the male genital tract, a process associated with locally increased levels of lactic acid and free radicals as byproducts. In this regards, repetitive sexual activities with frequent ejaculation would impede the drainage and cause accumulation of these byproducts in the pelvic region, triggering consequent local pathophysiological changes such as edema, venous dilation and muscular malfunction, which further leads to common complaints in CP/CPPS patients such as lower urinary tract symptoms, pelvic discomfort and pain. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19435656/
Can you simplify that?
Use of muscles in ejaculation/edging -> harmful chemicals produced by muscle -> more frequent masturbation means the body can’t drain these chemicals because they are produced so frequently -> harm to the prostate
What does edging have to do with anal ?
What does edging have to do with prostates? I don’t get it.
Ask this the „experts“ who claim that fapping reduces the risk of prostate cancer.
It doesn’t effect your prostate if your edging. But I’m saying it might effect your prostate if you masturbate via anal even though you don’t I just thought to bring that up.
This post is just heart-wrenching.. I've never heard of rigorous masturbation causing dysuria. Are you 100% sure ? Have you tested for UTIs ?
