For me, yes... the more I masturbate, the more I crave getting off whether that be sex or more masturbation. I got to a point that I was having sex and/or masturbating 2x a day for a couple of weeks. I realized that I needed to dial back. While I didn't let masturbation get in the way of other day to day activities, it almost got to that point. I remember contemplating being late for work so I could rub a quick one out. That's when it gets to be too much.

Couldn't you just wait until you got to work? :p



If you judge wanking like alcohol using the CAGE questionnaire...

Have you ever thought you should Cut down?
Yes - after it started aching & I developed friction burns.

Have people Annoyed you by criticising your wanking?
Nope - my wanking is impeccable; no-one would dream of criticising it.

Have you ever felt bad or Guilty about your wanking?
Isn't that part of the fun? You naughty, naughty boy!

Have you ever had a wank first thing to get rid of morning wood (an Eye-opener)?
Um... Yes.

3/4 is considered clinically significant. :eek:
My name is Zyz... & I'm a masturbation addict. It's good to be here for support.

Well, the brain is such that if you send the same message to it over and over again, it will create and strengthen a pathway to any thought process. Kind of like walking in a forest, if you continue taking the same route at some point your footsteps will inevitably create a path. Now for example if you add to that visual, olfactive, auditive or psychological stimuli, or anything that can strengthen the highway really, these stimuli eventually become vehicles/triggers/enablers.

Now then it stands to reason the opposite would apply. Stop feeding a creature and it will eventually die. Stop using that path in the forest and it will eventually get taken over by the surrounding flora to one day become non-existent.

Some will chime in by saying there are instinctual, innate elements that come into play here as well and that is so very true, however as we are capable of using our bodies as a tool, so are we capable of using our minds. This requires actual work, strength of action and will power but it is possible. I know first hand myself. I went a few years at some point in my life where I did not have sex, I did not masturbate, and I did not entertain sexual thoughts. I did this consciously, with an actual goal in mind. One of attaining self control, two of experiencing what my life would/could be if all of the energy I would normally put towards sex were sent/utilized elsewhere in my life.

I think it can be. when I was single, I'd get horny and wank, then the thought of it would make me hard again. it was kind of setting the wheels in motion and it wouldn't stop....a viscious circle

having sex got that same way, after the wife and I got married, and we had our own place. the sex was very, very good. I thoroughly enjoyed pleasuring my beautiful wife. my refractory time was almost nil, again the thought of it just made me hard. wfe said just the thought of my big cock, made her wet. I don't know how many times she called me at work to meet her at home for lunch. sometimes on the weekend we would fuck 20 times or more starting Friday evening. I can remember leaving the groceries in the cart in the store on Saturday morning, and going home and fucking. and I had just fucked her before going to the store. since I had given her first orgasm ever, she often said, "what did you do to me?' "I think about it all the time." And we stayed like that, sure it slowed during her period, but we couldn't wait for it to be over. We even missed a dinner date or two with our closest friends, another couple our age. we were very close and at one point we disclosed how much we fucked and they were shocked. they thought they fucked a lot, we were about twice as much. anyway, we had sex like that for 4 years, started a family. things kind of cooled off after that, but after our 2nd child. we were back to fucking 2-3 times a day., more on the weekend.

Yes it can for me. It can get out of control and then I have these moments that I say, Luc stop and go work out or something!!

Then i get upset that i let it control me. So there you have it.

No, masturbating cannot be addictive. You cannot build up a chemical tolerance to it. Like eating, sexual activity is an appetitive behaviour. You can be compulsive about it. You can have poor control over it. It can be positively reinforced through conditioning (in your case, as a response to boredom). But you're not an addict.

If masturbating is interfering with the rest of your life, or if the frequency or manner of your masturbating is causing you or others harm, then it's a behaviour you should get under control.

And yes, doing something frequently can make you think about it more often.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I would say Dopamine is a nice complete little chemical structure, with receptors hungrily waiting to be filled by it. Let us not forget our body is an excellent manufacturer of very potent drugs...

yes it can...
A test with rats showed it.
They implated the rats a chip at their brain, that stimulated their lust center, as soon as they pushed a red button.
Also they had a greeed button, if they push it, they get something to eat.
After a few days all rats were death. - they only pushed the red button :biggrin1::biggrin1::biggrin1:

red button , red button, red button,red button , red button, red button,red button , red button, red button,red button , red button, red button,red button , red button, red button,red button , red button, red button,red button , red button, red button,
