Thread: I've been getting blurry vision when I jerk off!

Mom always said I'd go blind. So far, so good. Oh well, sight is so overrated anyway.

It is weird. I know people are going to be thinking that I am being an assclown, but it is true.

Maybe you need to ease up on the grip,

Over Masturbation

You might not want to hear this ...
It seems some scientist's had way too much time on their hands ... and some extra dollars to spend in their research budgets.
The effects of masturbation and over masturbation upon a mans body was recently looked at.
And what exactly did they find?
Frequent masturbation and ejaculation stimulate acetylcholine/parasympathetic nervous functions. Excessive stimulation can result in over production of sex hormones and neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, dopamine and serotonin.
Abundant and unusually large amount of these hormones and neurotransmitters can cause the brain and adrenal glands to perform excessive dopamine-norepinephrine-epinephrine conversion and turn the brain and body functions to be extremely sympathetic. In other words, there is a big change of body chemistry when one excessively masturbates.
Note: Masturbation is a healthy sexual behavior. Like other behaviors, when over practiced or addicted it can lead to both psychological and physiological imbalances.
Side-effects of Masturbation

Other than an immediate need for a towel or tissue, the effects of masturbation upon the male body were:

• Fatigue. Feeling tired all the time
• Lower back pain
• Thinning hair / Hair Loss
• Soft / Weak Erections
• Premature Ejaculation
• Eye floaters or fuzzy vision
• Groin / Testicular Pain
• Pain or cramp in the pelvic cavity or/and tail bone

When to say when

How much is too much masturbation (and sex for that matter)? That depends but it's suggested men keep their ejaculation frequency down to 2-3 times a week. However, sexual activity can be experienced more often if men learn how to orgasm without ejaculation. Doing so can actually store bioenergy into your system and make your penis firmer, your erections last longer, and your ejaculate volume bigger.
Over masturbation participants experience problems with concentration and memory. This is a dangerous side effect of over masturbation and signals that the brain is being over drained of acetycholine. Over masturbation drains motor neurons and neuro-muscular endings of acetycholine, which is eventually replaced. Over masturbation can lead to absentmindedness, memory loss, lack of concentration, and eye floaters. To fight these symptoms, the chemical levels in your body needs to be balanced.
Notice a pattern yet?
The plethora of problems associated with over masturbation come from the fact that your body is drained of important nutrients and hormones from over masturbation.

someone i know actually thought he was going blind

i can't find the article but i read it actually depletes something in your eyes that needs time to restore. and in men tested who came too often for two weeks they had depleted levels of ejaculate even five months after they stopped cumming too frequently. 3 times a week is considered healthy.

I think "excessive masturbation syndrome", which I would consider a subset of "sexual exhaustion syndrome", is a condition where there are predisposing underlying problems.

The addition of sexual activity past a certain amount stresses then collapses compensatory mechanisms that had previously allowed one to function well.

If these underlying problems did not exist, then sexual exhaustion syndrome would not occur.

Common underlying problems include thyroid problems, immune system inflammatory activity, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal dysregulation, chronic infections, nutritional deficiencies, insulin resistance and diabetes, nervous system dysfunction, environmental stress, hypogonadism, etc.

Sexual function involves information processing activity involving the brain's libido circuits and the primary seeking circuit. There are many intercellular signals involved including dopamine, norepinephrine and oxytocin, testosterone, estradiol, etc. These promote interpersonal connectiveness, sex drive, sexual pleasure and excitement. Dopamine signaling helps trigger the primary seeking circuit to determine the form of sexual behavior that satisfies the libido circuitry. Norepinephrine signaling occurs within the sympathetic nervous system as a component of the libido circuitry. It helps promote excitement during sex. And a pulse of norepinephrine triggers the orgasm.

One problem with the circuitry is the use of norepinephrine as a signal. Norepinephrine has multiple systemic actions aside from sexual function. It is the primary signal for stress (thus sex itself can be considered a stressful, though enjoyable activity). Norepinephrine also triggers energy on demand. It increases thermogenesis. It can lead to changes in thyroid function - up or down. It can lead to insulin resistance, increasing the need for insulin production. It can change renal function, leading to the loss of zinc, iodine and other minerals. It can activate immune system pro-inflammatory signaling. Etc.

If there are underlying problems which already increase stress or demand for norepinephrine signaling, then the sum of these and additional sexual activity can increase norepinephrine signaling excessively leading to the problems one can experience with sexual exhaustion. Some of the changes can lead to positive feedback signaling loops which are self-perpetuating - resulting in a prolonged illness, if triggered. Some of the positive feedback loops prolong sympathetic nervous system, i.e. norepinephrine, signaling. Some changes can result in nutrient deficiencies which cause prolonged dysfunction if not addressed.

In briefly reviewing the symptoms listed on the internet for over-masturbation or sexual exhaustion syndrome, I found the following:

anxiety
depression
insomnia
lack of energy
impaired memory
mood swings
loss of libido
erectile dysfunction
headaches
body pain
blurred vision
flushed face
constipation
frequent urination
dizziness
palpitations
hair loss

Note that these symptoms indicate a systemic problem. Generally, the systems involved include the nervous system, endocrine system, immune system, metabolism and nutrition.

Some simple associations between function and a few of the signals or nutrients that are most often affected are as follows:

Anxiety: norepinephrine, serotonin, cortisol, CRH, thyroid, dopamine, testosterone, progesterone, etc.

Depression: dopamine, inflammatory cytokines, iron, Vitamin A, B-vitamins, vitamin D, testosterone, etc.

Insomnia: norepinephrine, thyroid, cortisol, iron, etc.

Lack of energy: thyroid, inflammatory cytokines, norepinephrine, cortisol, insulin, iron, vitamin A, B-vitamins, salt-intake, etc.

Impaired memory: dopamine, norepinephrine, thyroid, inflammatory cytokines, B-vitamins, Vitamin A, etc.

Mood swings: norepinephrine, inflammatory cytokines, cortisol, testosterone, estradiol, thyroid, iron, Vitamin A, B-vitamins, protein intake, etc.

Loss of libido: norepinephrine, inflammatory cytokines, testosterone, estrogens, thyroid, cortisol, iron, zinc,

Erectile dysfunction: norepinephrine, inflammatory cytokines, testosterone, estrogens, thyroid, cortisol, nitric oxide, protein intake, etc.

Headaches: inflammatory cytokines, norepinephrine, cortisol, etc.

Body pain: inflammatory cytokines, norepinephrine, cortisol, thyroid, iron, aldosterone, etc.

Blurred vision: norepinephrine, thyroid, inflammatory cytokines, iron, etc.

Flushed face: norepinephrine, thyroid, inflammatory cytokines, iron, etc.

Constipation: thyroid, norepinephrine, etc.

Frequent urination: norepinephrine, thyroid, inflammatory cytokines, iron, etc.

Dizziness: norepinephrine, inflammatory cytokines, aldosterone, cortisol, nitric oxide, salt-intake, etc.

Palpitations: norepinephrine, inflammatory cytokines, cortisol, etc.

Hair loss: norepinephrine, thyroid, inflammatory cytokines, testosterone, estradiol, DHT, DHEA, zinc, biotin, etc.

Treatment of sexual exhaustion syndrome would involve assessing and addressing the psychosocial factors, nervous system factors, endocrine system factors, immune system factors, metabolic and nutritional factors that are involved to cause dysfunction once sexual activity is added to the system. Often there are multiple underlying problems. Generally, mental dysfunction (e.g. sexual dysfunction) indicates the presence of multiple underlying problems, often involving multiple body systems. __________________

Is My Excessive Masturbation Causing My Vision Problems?


When you engage in excessive sexual activity or masturbation, you can develop a disorder of the retina, the inner layer of the eye where rod and cone light receptors are located. The retina contains many inter-neurons that process optical signals before passing them back to the brain. An eye floater problem generally is due to the deficiency of cGMP, nitric oxide and/or acetylcholine in the rod visual sensory nerves. Coincidentally, these same deficiencies occur in cases of nervous erectile disorder. For that reason, this type of retina disorder can be brought on by over-masturbation or over-ejaculation. Other causes are liver function disorders, a poor diet that lacks nitric oxide and acetylcholine precursors, drug abuse, or excessive dopamine-norepinephrine-adrenalin conversion.

If a man ejaculates daily or even multiple times a day, he could be over-stimulating his nervous system and causing the deficiencies that lead to eye floater problems. What's more, these problems can lead to sexual dysfunctions, such as impotence, weak erections, and premature ejaculations, all of which can result from sexual exhaustion.

If you suffer from eye floater problems that result from excessive sexual or masturbatory activity, you need to stop masturbating for a few weeks. Let your body rest and replenish. Then you can come back to it with a lower frequency. A healthy habit is to masturbate and have sex a total of three to four times a week, assuming once ejaculation per encounter.

look up excessive masturbation and blurry vision. or talk to a porn addict that's convinced he's losing his eyesight because his vision is all blurry.

2-3 times a week? WTF? Well that explains my low sperm count.

even when you go back to 2 or 3 times a week it takes over 5 months for levels to get back to healthy.

I don't have a problem with volume, and never have. If anything, I wish I didn't cum so much. All my socks are stuck together in one big jizzball.

Don't you know everytime you jerk it you kill a kitten somewhere!

what is it with guys and socks? volumes good, what about distance
turn your head and cough please.

seriously tho maybe because your volume is high you get more depleted??? i don't know but i do know someone who honest to god would not stfu about porn and pornstars and actually thought he was going blind cuz of fuzzy vision. that's how i got looking around and found the connection and tons of men with the same complaint. there is actual scientific proof cumming a lot, too much, whatever too much is will cause this.

in hindsight it's actually pretty fucking funny the times he said "i might be losing my sight!!! do you know how that feels?" all drama queen n shit. it HAS to be where the "you'll go blind" thing came from.

I don't buy it, how can a man have a penis 7 days a week only to use it 3 times a week?
