ocd masturbation

Hello! I am suffering from ocd. My newest obsession is that masturbation will cause some brain damage, so whenever I feel like masturbation I do some other things like cleaning, or anything else that keeps me of being able to reach for my penis. This is really annoying. Any ideas about what I could do instead of cleaning?

Hi there! One thing is certain and that is that masturbation won’t lead to brain damage. Now I don’t know how it all works with ocd but I suppose you are taking drugs and seing doctors, right? Because you should! If it is possible with this disorder, can’t you think about it and then bring a common sense decision that this is highly unlikely to happen? Sorry I didn’t help you much!!!!

Dont be ashamed to bust a fat nut every once in a while. When you feel the urge to wanna masturbate, just drop your pants and rub one off. Masturbation is fantastic, dont be worried!

Everyone says that though... if your like me whos been masturbating for like...since 8 or 9 years of age..or something near enough...i get sick easily whenever i stress, i cant concentrate on my work alot, i feel depressed and anxiety, sometimes i cant eat well... i feel as though i lack some potential energy in my body from the brain.... now i have to work hard for everything, putting my own effort into things... just make sure u dnt masturbate alot..otherwise try not to masturbate... i think it causes the brain to flourish aswell... there are definatly consequences...all pleasures do lead to consequences...

That is very untrue. And all pleasures do not lead to consequences.
There has been very many studies to see if masturbation is good for you or not. The truth is, it is better for you then not. Masturbation relieves stress and anxiety. And either way, if you never masturbate, your body will do it for you. When you sleep if you haven't jerked off in a long while, or never have, you can have several wet dreams. And no it is not unhealthy if you have more then one wet dream, it is more of a sign, telling you you need to jerk it or have sex.

The broad statement, masturbation is good, it is not harmful, etc made my a non-doctor, non-psychiatrist, is baloney. You don't have a clue.

Let's just look at the physical. There is a very complex cocktail of chemicals that are released into the brain during orgasm. For many, this is a mood changing, narcotic effect. You cannot say for all people that this does not harm the brain. For me, it is definitely detrimental because I suffer from headaches afterwards, angry personality, lack of intelligence (making stupid decisions or forgetting things or worse) a hot unpleasant tingling sensation in my face, etc. Most of these things are indication that the brain chemistry is not quite right. Can you then say that if that is done to the brain a thousand times that it will be beneficial? Beneficial is exercising, eating well, getting sleep, avoiding stress, avoiding injury. I would not call masturbating beneficial.

As for the spiritual, frequent lustful escapes separates one from what's truly important in life, your spouse, your family, your life. It is spiritually destructive. Period.

Take it from a scientist that's done it a lot, and seen the consequences of it many many many many times. This is empirical data that is impossible to refute. I may have different brain chemistry than any other human, but I doubt it. I've seen it happen and heard it described in others.
