What are your thoughts on the impact of daily habits on mental health? Do you think habits like these can significantly affect well-being? Share your perspective below!
I do "it" regularly, almost every night. I also take Delta 8 THC regularly which leads me to mind blowing orgasms that can last for an hour or so. I view it as the intersection of spiritual experience and pleasure, I feel very close to the divine. I also practice semen retention so most of my orgasms are not associated with ejaculation. It often includes fantasy but not all the time. My pron usage is intermittent, maybe once every two or three months though I do watch "try on haul" videos daily as a substitute. I could say video watching is a rut, but women never really found me attractive no matter what I tried so I don't beat myself over the head with it too much. Does it make other more mundane activities less enjoyable? Not really, what it does is put all the other activities into a proper perspective. I have a standard for comparison. I'm married, have 4 kids, and a successful career. I enjoy walking, playing card and board games with my family, cooking, pleasuring my wife and learning about the nature of the world around me. I do find marital life very overrated compared to what I was told about how "rewarding" it would be by marriage advocates. Generally I'm a very healthy 55 year old, never had a hospital stay, maybe slightly overweight (200lbs at 6 feet tall) with body fat somewhere around 20% to 25%.
I never thought subliminals could make such a huge difference in overcoming addiction, but Borlest proved me wrong. After a couple of weeks, I felt a massive shift in my mindset. If you’re stuck in a cycle, this could be the solution. You’ve got nothing to lose.
Jesus freed me! I was addicted for 7 years wanting to stop and couldn't stop no matter how hard i tried. Fasting and praying is what actually helped me to stop. I still battle with urges everyday but i have no plans on relapsing. Desexualizing your brain takes time but its possible. Stop watching porn, stop lusting at females just because they look hot and sexual fantasies are very dangerous as well. Save all of that for your soul mate which it was meant for!!! What dr.trish is teaching is completely true and really helpful but most times the root cause of excessive masterbation is a spiritual reason and one has to first get rid of that unclean/lustful spirit (fasting and praying against it really helps). Once delivered from it then u can start to apply dr.trish methods to reprogram the brain and continue to pray for strength to resist temptations so you dont fall back into it.
You’re doing the Lord’s work, Dr Leigh! PMO has had a profoundly negative effect on men the past couple of decades and you are really moving the needle when it comes to awareness of this fact. Addiction can be difficult to overcome, you have to be mentally ready to overcome it, but it’s ultimately a choice we all have, to just stop and make that hugely positive change. Keep it up, guys!
Thank you for recognizing the importance of this issue! It’s all about spreading awareness and empowering individuals to make positive changes in their lives.
Masturbation is inherently addictive guys. Keep fighting those urges and increasing your awareness of yourself and your emotions. Many people don’t have the strength to do what you can do. It takes a lot to really get on top of this habit and say no to it but we can do it. 30 days and counting.
@@Moncapitanfacepalm it’s harder when I’m stressed out, so I try and manage my stress well by having a good “offense” as Dr Leigh calls it, which is basically the maintenance of a healthy lifestyle. I meditate, I take cold showers, I journal, I exercise, I eat as well as I can and don’t abuse dopamine, or at least I try not to. It’s a process. The best way to stop urges happening is to tackle what’s causing them in the first place. In the heat of the moment if an urge comes up I think resisting it is honestly impossible. Or at least it is for me. I tried everything like blasting out push ups, listening to music, nothing worked. Offense works.
@@DrTrishLeighYou’re very welcome Dr Leigh, and thank YOU for all the support you give and the hard work you put in to understanding and helping men erase this compulsion! I wouldn’t have gotten even half as far as I have on my own healing journey without the help of your content.

Now I have cognitive issues can’t concentrate,focus,attention,memory loss, and a whole lot in school low grades .porn and masturbation have taking so much from me.I’m sad and crying.I want to go back to my old self without this addiction
Bless you 🙏 Set boundaries: leave your bedroom door open, keep your rooms clean, stay organized/productive, journal your goals to beat temptation, set porn block sites (covenant eyes is great), avoid using your phone/laptop in places of temptation, and set your devices on grayscale coloring. But most importantly... pray to the Lord Jesus. Rely only on God's grace to get you out of this. I will pray for you, my brother 💙
Thank you very much for your information and your time and your compassion for helping male population of this great nation of ours I appreciate you have a great day.

There is no way I would ever stop doing it totally..I don’t need to watch p..It just feels way too good to not EVER do it..Edging is like one of the absolute best feelings in this world.. I don’t need p..I am a 52 Year-old man who is disabled with my leg and I do not get out to meet anyone, nor am I looking.. I lost my wife several years ago and she was the love of my life..Therefore, this is something that I feel I have left that is a real great thing for me to be able to enjoy..I guess I am hurting my body, but I have made it thus far in life.. If I have to go out from this (and mind you, I do not do it every day, nor even close), but when I do, I plan ahead for an all day event and edge to blast off! Feels amazing friends..Sorry if I am a bad person..
I'm in masturbation issues since I was in youth years, 11 years old. Until now, I was struggling how I can stop completely but I don't know where and what techniques and therapy needed, and where I can start. Moral and religious expectations became serious issue when comes to that but I'm a hypocrite. I want to be free from my weakness and addiction I had. Dr. Trish Leigh, please help me.

I went nofap for 3 months. I definitely felt more energetic & more focused in my daily activities. I think I even lost some weight during that time but after some time during nofap I started getting painful headaches and feel pain in my abdominal area. My question is, are those side affects of nofap? Thanks.
It most likely could be due to no fap. It’s exactly like drug withdrawals that your body goes through after being an addict . If the pain becomes unbearable you need to goto the ER. But otherwise let your body heal and go through the healing process it should subside. Wish you the best bro. You got this
Lack of self-control leads to M and M leads to lack of self-control.Thus the longer one has been doing it,the less likely he/she will quit on first attempt.
I relapsed again 😣 today three times. I am feeling so so shame about what i did again. I had promised myself i won't do it again and made some plans for it but at the time of arousal i forgot everything and i binge watch p and relapsed. Its very shameful
the need to take the edge off becomes a neccessity to survive its like hell trying to overcome this my head hurts so much.. and then i relapse after i cant do it anymore.. it isnt even neccesarily porn at this point.. even simple pictures. just the need to release that tension.. : ( dont think i will ever get a real girll like this.. please pray for me doctor..

Just like a lot of things is life that can be harmful in excess. Masturbation in itself is natural. Excessive masturbation is dangerous and should be avoided. One way is to STOP watching porn.
I agree that masturbation is dangerous but it has nothing to do with the dopamine levels. If masturbation or sex the reached dopamine level is exactly the same but.So how comes that for people between 20-29 years,who do more sex(around once a day),do not exist the negative effects that appear if someone masturbates once a day? It's because of oxytocin ladies and gents. Oxytocine leads to the necesity of intimate connection with that person with which,also because of oxitocyne,you fall in love. This connection is based on the perception of one another through all the five senses and their way of thinking to work almost identicaly. And yes I agree that masturbation does wrong to the relationship with the partner,even if the connection is established between them.But I don't think he or she would think about masturbation if...the both look at sex as at their vital necessity which it really is.. for their brains. But sex in most of cases is taken as something for only reproduction or something only optional...only for a few minutes of feeling pleasure.Then their brains long for oxitocin.Thats why arguing,fighting,sexual abuse,rape,divorces,cheating,anxiety,violence.
Bro masturbating / real sex are 2 different things in sex you are involved with your partner with all five senses and you dont imagine any thing. But in masturbation you are just satisfying your lust with all sort of means that you can acquire porn/ filthy fantasies different angles in porno etc… so here we are talking about this mental issue which is real. Having sex with your loved one with emotional & moral support is never harmful to any extent hope you feel me & will think for someone who is suffering from this disgusting life distorting issue before writing any thing comparing this with only human biology
@manpinder6840 I already know all you've tried to explain to me...thanks to the fact that I know from the bio-chimical point of view...how the brain is functioning.No need to explain yourself to me.I didn't ask for. You should instead explain this to the men who do sex like they would masturbate...thinking about their pleasure...using their women like a piece of sh*t and women even like this. Don't you ever dare to explain to me that science is useless!
when ejaculate your brain release prolactin and prolactin is an inhibitor of dopamine in long term, so, there it has something to do with dopamine levels
How long does it take to recover fully cause I'm scared of the brain problem being permanent. I'm definitely ready to do what it takes to get out of this mental situation
Am not married, no gf or sex partner. Tried no fap for 6 months. I don't get nocturnal emission as well. I had to do masturbation after 6 months to release it. It's not easy to get a partner for physical relationship in my country. What would be the suggestion in this case? Only solution: Masturbation right?
I can abstain for a while, I was even able to finally get to 3 months this year, but eventually I have this anoxious restless feeling, maybe its combined with a kind of loneliness, it would usually happen on a friday where I would want to do something but have no social plans. My porn use is usually combined with cannabis, and sometimes alcohol can lead me down this rabit hole. Any advice?
You need to adjust your recovery plan! Find new hobbies/activities to fill these lonely moments. You may also want to consider cutting out triggers such as cannabis and alcohol
Thanks Doctor. I was a religious and very good student in school. My teachers thought I will get ranks. But I got into masterbation because of my friends. I didn't know. I got cheated. I can't even open my book. I am a looser now. My dreams died. I can't even control myself. I lost. I searched internet to know whether it is good. Internet said it was good. It should be done to avoid cancer. I was cheated. Please continue what you do. It will help many who don't know what is right and wrong.
Hey, man, sorry to hear that you're struggling with this addiction and for what you had to endure. I used to struggle myself but was able to quit. Maybe you'd like some guidance and accountability?
dr my wife dont want sex so what will i do just drop the idea of having sex for good if masturbation is that highly risk? what the solution divorce my wife its really hard to find good empath people majority narcist please focus on practical solutions
When you're addicted to porn, your partner will feel it. It will make them less likely to want to have sex with you. Instead of pushing for sex, focus on quitting porn, building up intimacy, and strengthening your connection
I have a crazy question Dr Trish. Is it possible to become desensitized to using your vs being with your partner? And can you get erectile dysfunction from using your hand too much?
I have had a masterbation and porn addiction since I was ten years of age now I'm fifty sometimes I quit for a period of time and then back to doing it again I have prayed a lot to stop but that doesn't help I don't like e letting Jesus down and my self because I am a christian.i don't know what else to try thanks.
Hey, man, sorry to hear that you're struggling with this addiction. I used to struggle myself but was able to quit. Maybe you'd like some guidance and accountability?
May I ask, in my case it’s more of a thing where I don’t watch p. Instead I do it over my experiences with my partner. On bad days it’s over experiences I have had with others… these are few but I noticed recently it started becoming more frequent but these videos also made me realise that this has been going on since my teen years for me. I don’t find myself having issues with sex with my partner so I’m rather confused. I definitely want to reduce my habit so there’s that. I am not sure what other courses I could use or do as Dr Leigh’s ones are quite expensive.
98% of doctors say masturnation is very healthy you are part of 2% who do Not think so circulation improves with Masturbation it also takes away a lot of Nervous energy and the body is more Relaxed according to doctors
It would be helpful if the medical community would caution about the risks of this addictive habit (which I think is more addictive than alcohol, $$$). The secrecy of this habit (coupled with the most likely use of porn in majority of the cases) leads to feelings of depression, shame and guilt. It would be beneficial if boys and men were taught about practices such as Semen Retention where the male practices self control over his mind and body and does not need to fantasize and crave for women to satisfy his need for a "release". I take note that the medical community believes that this habit reduces prostrate cancer but I still believe that proper diet and exercise are more important factors in preventing prostrate cancer than having regular ejaculations of the semen through masturbation. I like how Dr Trish uses the "self soothe" to describe this habit and not the term "self care". True self care are action oriented terms such as engaging in physical exercise , eating healthy, resting, sleep etc.
Most men do what they do because they haven't got a woman in their lives. I've never been able to get a partner and have only had sex by paying for it. Stop talking from the cosyness of marriage and social success !
Can mansturbation, as any other addiction, be the cause of emotional immaturity? What if I started doining this in a compulsive way at a very young age and now it is somehow keeping me in that stage, in some way? Do get in more in contact with my adultself if I overcome it?

Read the freedom model mate, your doomed to fail if you are 'struggling'. You obviously still see massive value in pmo otherwise you wouldn't be thinking about it all the time. Ask yourself what value does it bring to your life and go from there
It applies to every human being. However, women do not usually go to visual p*rn, rather they prefer more literature. But masterbation is an addictive activity, just like gaming. It releases too much dopamine, more than what is natural. So your brain will crave it more and more to feel the same, and this will lead to damage your brain by making it numb and desensitized.
@@DrTrishLeigh thanks. After my dear girlfriend "does herself" (as she's open about it), she's ABSOLUTELY DESENSITIZED towards me. I'm put out to pasture

I got into a loop porn, masterbating way too much. At the time, I had a right frontal lobe meningeoma the size of a golf ball . It was removed October 2023 , and since then, the urge has been way reduced. Odd how issues with the brain can make you do things your unaware of. I look back at it and have a level of disgust with myself, I wonder I those people who were in videos are in it voluntary. As my brain tumour grew, my addictions increased as my filters and inhibition decreased.

Very informative tips. I was unaware that Mario had revised his preferred method for addressing ED. While his previous suggestion was sound, it was somewhat difficult to implement. I recently go’ogled Mario Volpstein and discovered his new method to be significantly more straightforward and potent.
Masterbation ain't good in any size and shape. It's a dichotomous thing, 0 or 1. There's nothing in between, trust me. As long as it exists, it'll destroy your brain and will lead your life to unwanted directions. Why? It's a super stimulus activity, and that's why relapses are so dangerous. Your brain will think okay I cannot ever heal, and shame comes on. Shame appears due to high amounts of dopamine release from masterbation, but very few oxytocin and prolactin. Because after masterbation dopamine decreases, and there should be a partner next to you to release oxytocin & serotonin to feel connected and happy. But there's no one, and that's where the shame lies!
Some of us have nothing else - What is the point of us giving up. I do other things: I walk every day, I'm painting my apartment, I listen to music - but life is second rate without a wife, a partner or a "honey"! Women have never liked me. I've been rejected all my life. Now at 76 surely it's not a sin for a lonely old man to look at "Chaturbate" for half a hour a day ! Apart from paying I'll never get a "real" woman to "sleep" with me - I don't feel that I am harming myself at all !
You can still get a partner. My neighbour is 75 and just got married last year to a woman in her 50s. He's not rich or anything. He just pushed himself to go out and socialise. He volunteers at a charity and has survived cancer and a broken knee in recent years.
Masturbation Addiction is a much more appropriate term than Porn Addiction - at least for me. As a creative person I have found so many digital and analog ways to stimulate myself. Porn is only one of the weapons I have in my arsenal. What kind of other stimuli? Because this is public I will not go too deep into that topic (pun intended :-) but one of the most common and omnipresent "helpers" would be Bikini Girl content from Insta, YT, etc. for example. This is not porn but if it tells the right story for me so I perfectly can escape my reality with it, it's even more harmful!
Hey Dr, it seems like you view masturbation as bad or evil? I believe people get addicted to it all the time just like over eating. Original Sin is believing you are evil if you masturbate. If you have that in your head, it's much easier to get into some addictive grind imho. When people realized it's not evil, it's much easier to not get stuck. Babies masturbate in mommies tummy we've known this for almost 20 years via sonograms. MIT suggests men masturbate 25 times a month for a healthy prostrate. Thank you so much!

The problem is not masturbation, it is worldliness. I posted this on another video on porn and masturbation addiction: Thank you for this informative video. This is a deep subject so I can only touch on certain basic points. Religions contributed to this problem by not seeing God in sex, by seeing sex as a sin. By false suppression they chased people out of the Church and into the hands of worldlings such as Hugh Hefner. God has taken every form including sexual desire. Nothing but God exists. When we attain that understanding then the horse of desire no longer rides us, we ride the horse: "If we are ever truly free, our freedom must include the fullness of all our human expressions. We cannot single out sexual expression and set it aside, limited and bound, believing that it is other than Source. If we are truly free, we celebrate life as one consciousness, a unity in diversity, and that includes human sexuality....Since everything is the diversification of one unity, limited identifications and comparative classifications, such as heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, self-sexual, or asexual, with one judged better than another, are absolutely fraudulent....If we relinquish dualistic judgments, we are simply whatever we are.''~~Master Charles Cannon "If you ceaselessly hold to the highest Truth, there is nothing wrong with being immersed in Mother's [Divine Mother, God] cosmic manifestation. Simply consider it all Her sublime Mystery, never as a mundane, self-centered world, never as a substantial, solid universe. The key point is to attain transparency of mind....Whatever you may think, hear or see--during common awareness or during meditative states of consciousness--is simply Mother Mahamaya or Divine Creativity. Your very sense experience is therefore already pure worship. Where is the harm, then, in chewing betel leaf, eating fish, enjoying a smoke, rubbing the body with fragrant oil, or tasting the sweet experience of conjugal delight?....The essential practice is to renounce, moment by moment, any sense of separation from God--any sense of the personal, the private, the uniquely individual, the separate, the superior. One is then living solely within the Mother--not within the abstract, manmade categories called world and self.'~~Ramakrishna There is nothing but God in whom we live and move and have our being. Therefore, as Swami Rama Tirtha said "Let God work through you...Let God shine forth...Live God, eat God, breathe God."
@@EmileKleinhans "The Reality is one and the same; the difference is in name and form. There are three or four ghats on a lake. The Hindus, who drink water at one place, call it 'Jal'. The Mussalmans at another place call it 'pani'. And the English at a third place call it 'water'. All three denote one and the same thing, the difference being in the name only. In the same way, some address the Reality as 'Allah', some as 'God', some as 'Kali', and others by such names as 'Rama', 'Jesus', 'Durga', 'Hari'."--Ramakrishna
The false god is your parochialism. Parochialism is man's attempt to limit God but God is limitless. Parochialism causes people to kill in the Name of God. "God stands for harmony and brotherhood. If we really believe in God, we must be friendly with all in the universe. On the other hand, what do we see? In the name of religion we are fighting. God, who must descend into our lives to bring unity, peace and goodwill, has been made the cause of strife. It shows how limited and narrow our idea of God is....What is the meaning of these conflicts in the name of God? There is no multiplicity of Gods. God is one and we are all His children....Everywhere in the world there is confusion, dissension, competition and selfishness. We cannot live in harmony unless we transcend the lower levels and attain a spiritual life of peace, love and goodwill.

Hi Trish. I'm currently on a streak and I've had Pied before the streak and I still have pied now but I'm getting half elections at the point.

Desexualizing your brain takes time but its possible. Stop watching porn, stop lusting at females just because they look hot and sexual fantasies are very dangerous as well. Save all of that for your soul mate which it was meant for!!!
What dr.trish is teaching is completely true and really helpful but most times the root cause of excessive masterbation is a spiritual reason and one has to first get rid of that unclean/lustful spirit (fasting and praying against it really helps).
Once delivered from it then u can start to apply dr.trish methods to reprogram the brain and continue to pray for strength to resist temptations so you dont fall back into it.

Masturbation is inherently addictive guys. Keep fighting those urges and increasing your awareness of yourself and your emotions. Many people don’t have the strength to do what you can do. It takes a lot to really get on top of this habit and say no to it but we can do it. 30 days and counting.
How do you fight an urge?
@@Moncapitanfacepalm it’s harder when I’m stressed out, so I try and manage my stress well by having a good “offense” as Dr Leigh calls it, which is basically the maintenance of a healthy lifestyle. I meditate, I take cold showers, I journal, I exercise, I eat as well as I can and don’t abuse dopamine, or at least I try not to. It’s a process. The best way to stop urges happening is to tackle what’s causing them in the first place. In the heat of the moment if an urge comes up I think resisting it is honestly impossible. Or at least it is for me. I tried everything like blasting out push ups, listening to music, nothing worked. Offense works.

I went nofap for 3 months. I definitely felt more energetic & more focused in my daily activities. I think I even lost some weight during that time but after some time during nofap I started getting painful headaches and feel pain in my abdominal area. My question is, are those side affects of nofap? Thanks.
It most likely could be due to no fap. It’s exactly like drug withdrawals that your body goes through after being an addict . If the pain becomes unbearable you need to goto the ER. But otherwise let your body heal and go through the healing process it should subside. Wish you the best bro. You got this

Just like a lot of things is life that can be harmful in excess. Masturbation in itself is natural. Excessive masturbation is dangerous and should be avoided. One way is to STOP watching porn.
I mean if a lion starts chasing me to eat I'm not going to stop & rub one out.
Stop watching porn is right!
I have a masturbation addiction I am ready to commit to stop this, I can do this , Please pray for me
Please made others videos on this disadvantages of masturbation
Will do!
I agree that masturbation is dangerous but it has nothing to do with the dopamine levels.
If masturbation or sex the reached dopamine level is exactly the same but.So how comes that for people between 20-29 years,who do more sex(around once a day),do not exist the negative effects that appear if someone masturbates once a day?
It's because of oxytocin ladies and gents.
Oxytocine leads to the necesity of intimate connection with that person with which,also because of oxitocyne,you fall in love.
This connection is based on the perception of one another through all the five senses and their way of thinking to work almost identicaly.
And yes I agree that masturbation does wrong to the relationship with the partner,even if the connection is established between them.But I don't think he or she would think about masturbation if...the both look at sex as at their vital necessity which it really is.. for their brains.
But sex in most of cases is taken as something for only reproduction or something only optional...only for a few minutes of feeling pleasure.Then their brains long for oxitocin.Thats why arguing,fighting,sexual abuse,rape,divorces,cheating,anxiety,violence.
Bro masturbating / real sex are 2 different things in sex you are involved with your partner with all five senses and you dont imagine any thing. But in masturbation you are just satisfying your lust with all sort of means that you can acquire porn/ filthy fantasies different angles in porno etc… so here we are talking about this mental issue which is real. Having sex with your loved one with emotional & moral support is never harmful to any extent hope you feel me & will think for someone who is suffering from this disgusting life distorting issue before writing any thing comparing this with only human biology
@manpinder6840 I already know all you've tried to explain to me...thanks to the fact that I know from the bio-chimical point of view...how the brain is functioning.No need to explain yourself to me.I didn't ask for.
You should instead explain this to the men who do sex like they would masturbate...thinking about their pleasure...using their women like a piece of sh*t and women even like this.
Don't you ever dare to explain to me that science is useless!
when ejaculate your brain release prolactin and prolactin is an inhibitor of dopamine in long term, so, there it has something to do with dopamine levels

I'm definitely ready to do what it takes to get out of this mental situation
Am not married, no gf or sex partner. Tried no fap for 6 months. I don't get nocturnal emission as well. I had to do masturbation after 6 months to release it. It's not easy to get a partner for physical relationship in my country. What would be the suggestion in this case? Only solution: Masturbation right?
I can abstain for a while, I was even able to finally get to 3 months this year, but eventually I have this anoxious restless feeling, maybe its combined with a kind of loneliness, it would usually happen on a friday where I would want to do something but have no social plans. My porn use is usually combined with cannabis, and sometimes alcohol can lead me down this rabit hole. Any advice?
You need to adjust your recovery plan! Find new hobbies/activities to fill these lonely moments. You may also want to consider cutting out triggers such as cannabis and alcohol
Thanks Doctor. I was a religious and very good student in school. My teachers thought I will get ranks. But I got into masterbation because of my friends. I didn't know. I got cheated. I can't even open my book. I am a looser now. My dreams died. I can't even control myself. I lost. I searched internet to know whether it is good. Internet said it was good. It should be done to avoid cancer. I was cheated. Please continue what you do. It will help many who don't know what is right and wrong.

dr my wife dont want sex so what will i do just drop the idea of having sex for good if masturbation is that highly risk? what the solution divorce my wife its really hard to find good empath people majority narcist please focus on practical solutions
When you're addicted to porn, your partner will feel it. It will make them less likely to want to have sex with you. Instead of pushing for sex, focus on quitting porn, building up intimacy, and strengthening your connection
I have a crazy question Dr Trish. Is it possible to become desensitized to using your vs being with your partner? And can you get erectile dysfunction from using your hand too much?
Yes to both!

I’m told you have to do ‘it’ a certain number of times per month, for the health of your prostate?

Hi Dr Trish.
On the video you said it impacts you physically, exemple erectile dysfuntion, but it could be there more physically impacts?
Yes! I will try to make a video on other physical side effects
May I ask, in my case it’s more of a thing where I don’t watch p. Instead I do it over my experiences with my partner. On bad days it’s over experiences I have had with others… these are few but I noticed recently it started becoming more frequent but these videos also made me realise that this has been going on since my teen years for me. I don’t find myself having issues with sex with my partner so I’m rather confused. I definitely want to reduce my habit so there’s that. I am not sure what other courses I could use or do as Dr Leigh’s ones are quite expensive.
Yes, this is also called "sex addiction", doc
98% of doctors say masturnation is very healthy you are part of 2% who do

There is a lot of misinformation out there my friend! Check out my website for more info drtrishleigh.com/get-started/
It would be helpful if the medical community would caution about the risks of this addictive habit (which I think is more addictive than alcohol, $$$). The secrecy of this habit (coupled with the most likely use of porn in majority of the cases) leads to feelings of depression, shame and guilt. It would be beneficial if boys and men were taught about practices such as Semen Retention where the male practices self control over his mind and body and does not need to fantasize and crave for women to satisfy his need for a "release". I take note that the medical community believes that this habit reduces prostrate cancer but I still believe that proper diet and exercise are more important factors in preventing prostrate cancer than having regular ejaculations of the semen through masturbation. I like how Dr Trish uses the "self soothe" to describe this habit and not the term "self care". True self care are action oriented terms such as engaging in physical exercise , eating healthy, resting, sleep etc.
I love this reflection! Thank you for sharing 🤗
Nice thumbnail Dr. Trish XD
Most men do what they do because they haven't got a woman in their lives. I've never been able to get a partner and have only had sex by paying for it. Stop talking from the cosyness of marriage and social success !
Can mansturbation, as any other addiction, be the cause of emotional immaturity? What if I started doining this in a compulsive way at a very young age and now it is somehow keeping me in that stage, in some way? Do get in more in contact with my adultself if I overcome it?

@@DrTrishLeigh I had a relapse but I didn't watch anything so maybe that's a good thing or at least better than watching it
This applies to women???
It applies to every human being. However, women do not usually go to visual p*rn, rather they prefer more literature. But masterbation is an addictive activity, just like gaming. It releases too much dopamine, more than what is natural. So your brain will crave it more and more to feel the same, and this will lead to damage your brain by making it numb and desensitized.
@@zeemat199 Erotic literature have the same affect on women as porn do on men. So the same thing.
Yes!

I got into a loop porn, masterbating way too much. At the time, I had a right frontal lobe meningeoma the size of a golf ball .
It was removed October 2023 , and since then, the urge has been way reduced.
Odd how issues with the brain can make you do things your unaware of.
I look back at it and have a level of disgust with myself, I wonder I those people who were in videos are in it voluntary. As my brain tumour grew, my addictions increased as my filters and inhibition decreased.

Very informative tips. I was unaware that Mario had revised his preferred method for addressing ED. While his previous suggestion was sound, it was somewhat difficult to implement. I recently go’ogled Mario Volpstein and discovered his new method to be significantly more straightforward and potent.
If I do it without porn is it gonna good?
Masterbation ain't good in any size and shape. It's a dichotomous thing, 0 or 1. There's nothing in between, trust me.
As long as it exists, it'll destroy your brain and will lead your life to unwanted directions.
Why? It's a super stimulus activity, and that's why relapses are so dangerous. Your brain will think okay I cannot ever heal, and shame comes on.
Shame appears due to high amounts of dopamine release from masterbation, but very few oxytocin and prolactin. Because after masterbation dopamine decreases, and there should be a partner next to you to release oxytocin & serotonin to feel connected and happy. But there's no one, and that's where the shame lies!
If you've ever had a porn habit, it's best to leave masturbation behind for good!
Some of us have nothing else - What is the point of us giving up. I do other things: I walk every day, I'm painting my apartment, I listen to music - but life is second rate without a wife, a partner or a "honey"! Women have never liked me. I've been rejected all my life. Now at 76 surely it's not a sin for a lonely old man to look at "Chaturbate" for half a hour a day ! Apart from paying I'll never get a "real" woman to "sleep" with me - I don't feel that I am harming myself at all !
You can still get a partner. My neighbour is 75 and just got married last year to a woman in her 50s. He's not rich or anything. He just pushed himself to go out and socialise. He volunteers at a charity and has survived cancer and a broken knee in recent years.
Masturbation Addiction is a much more appropriate term than Porn Addiction - at least for me. As a creative person I have found so many digital and analog ways to stimulate myself. Porn is only one of the weapons I have in my arsenal. What kind of other stimuli? Because this is public I will not go too deep into that topic (pun intended :-) but one of the most common and omnipresent "helpers" would be Bikini Girl content from Insta, YT, etc. for example. This is not porn but if it tells the right story for me so I perfectly can escape my reality with it, it's even more harmful!
I love this insight! Thank you for sharing 🤗
Hey Dr, it seems like you view masturbation as bad or evil? I believe people get addicted to it all the time just like over eating. Original Sin is believing you are evil if you masturbate. If you have that in your head, it's much easier to get into some addictive grind imho. When people realized it's not evil, it's much easier to not get stuck. Babies masturbate in mommies tummy we've known this for almost 20 years via sonograms. MIT suggests men masturbate 25 times a month for a healthy prostrate. Thank you so much!
I abstained for six months and there were zero benefits.

So the cause of sexual arousal disorder is a lack of dopamine receptors. Wouldn't it make sense to take dopamergic supplements to improve this deficiency?
No, it would make sense to stop masturbating to porn which is what is damaging your dopamine receptors in the first place.
@@4ft3rburn3r Right, and I agree. However, there's a flatline period when you quit masturbation and pornography. Dopaminergic supplements should help boost libido when needed for real sex

The problem is not masturbation, it is worldliness. I posted this on another video on porn and masturbation addiction:
Thank you for this informative video. This is a deep subject so I can only touch on certain basic points. Religions contributed to this problem by not seeing God in sex, by seeing sex as a sin. By false suppression they chased people out of the Church and into the hands of worldlings such as Hugh Hefner. God has taken every form including sexual desire. Nothing but God exists. When we attain that understanding then the horse of desire no longer rides us, we ride the horse:
"If we are ever truly free, our freedom must include the fullness of all our human expressions. We cannot single out sexual expression and set it aside, limited and bound, believing that it is other than Source. If we are truly free, we celebrate life as one consciousness, a unity in diversity, and that includes human sexuality....Since everything is the diversification of one unity, limited identifications and comparative classifications, such as heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, self-sexual, or asexual, with one judged better than another, are absolutely fraudulent....If we relinquish dualistic judgments, we are simply whatever we are.''~~Master Charles Cannon
"If you ceaselessly hold to the highest Truth, there is nothing wrong with being immersed in Mother's [Divine Mother, God] cosmic manifestation. Simply consider it all Her sublime Mystery, never as a mundane, self-centered world, never as a substantial, solid universe. The key point is to attain transparency of mind....Whatever you may think, hear or see--during common awareness or during meditative states of consciousness--is simply Mother Mahamaya or Divine Creativity. Your very sense experience is therefore already pure worship. Where is the harm, then, in chewing betel leaf, eating fish, enjoying a smoke, rubbing the body with fragrant oil, or tasting the sweet experience of conjugal delight?....The essential practice is to renounce, moment by moment, any sense of separation from God--any sense of the personal, the private, the uniquely individual, the separate, the superior. One is then living solely within the Mother--not within the abstract, manmade categories called world and self.'~~Ramakrishna
There is nothing but God in whom we live and move and have our being. Therefore, as Swami Rama Tirtha said "Let God work through you...Let God shine forth...Live God, eat God, breathe God."
@@EmileKleinhans "The Reality is one and the same; the difference is in name and form. There are three or four ghats on a lake. The Hindus, who drink water at one place, call it 'Jal'. The Mussalmans at another place call it 'pani'. And the English at a third place call it 'water'. All three denote one and the same thing, the difference being in the name only. In the same way, some address the Reality as 'Allah', some as 'God', some as 'Kali', and others by such names as 'Rama', 'Jesus', 'Durga', 'Hari'."--Ramakrishna
The false god is your parochialism. Parochialism is man's attempt to limit God but God is limitless. Parochialism causes people to kill in the Name of God.
"God stands for harmony and brotherhood. If we really believe in God, we must be friendly with all in the universe. On the other hand, what do we see? In the name of religion we are fighting. God, who must descend into our lives to bring unity, peace and goodwill, has been made the cause of strife. It shows how limited and narrow our idea of God is....What is the meaning of these conflicts in the name of God? There is no multiplicity of Gods. God is one and we are all His children....Everywhere in the world there is confusion, dissension, competition and selfishness. We cannot live in harmony unless we transcend the lower levels and attain a spiritual life of peace, love and goodwill. Therefore, we have to raise our hearts to God, towards the all-pervading consciousness."~~Swami (Papa) Ramdas

Hi Trish. I'm currently on a streak and I've had Pied before the streak and I still have pied now but I'm getting half elections at the point. I have purchased an ed medication that has a combination of tadalafil ,sidenafil, and apomorphine( which a lot of others don't include). I'm currently 14 days into the streak. Would it be ok to use the ed medication to build confidence the first time as well as stay hard enough to complete the sexual act and reintroduce my brain to sexy with another person? I would only he doing this once or twice
Medication is only a temporary fix! In order to get full erections again, you'll most likely need to focus on rewiring your brain from porn. For help: drtrishleigh.com/get-started/
I left my husband because of his severe erectile dysfunction and his aggressive and horrible behavior. My new man is healthy and kind.
Mam please make a video how to stop feet fetish
I will put this on my list of video ideas! Thank you for the suggestion my friend
Hey, man, sorry to hear that you're struggling with this addiction and fetishism. I used to struggle myself but was able to quit. Maybe you'd like some guidance and accountability?
I don't know anymore what to do with this addiction because I can't even stop when I want to

The fact that nobody talks about subliminal affirmations for overcoming addiction on Borlest speaks volumes about how people are stuck in a trance

Masturbation has been proven to have both mental & physical health benefits. 🙀
Not excessively
And is also known to put you in hell too
@@daninspiration4064 hell doesn't exist ffs. Please grow up and engage with reality.
Indeed. These people post on UA-cam that masterbation is harmful and sinful just to make some money.
What's next that people will post on UA-cam? Farting is harmful and sinful too?
@@colincolville1377that’s reality hell does exist
Good video. It took Christ to finally free me.
