Is Masturbation Ruining Your Life?
How Masturbation Ruins Your Life
Most people think that masturbation is all about sex. In reality, masturbation is all about comfort and boredom, which eventually leads to ruining your life. Some claim that masturbation ruins your life by turning into a crutch that hampers personal relationships and development. It is a self-soothing technique used when life seems overwhelming. Since most people try masturbating when they’re younger, a time of life that is especially challenging, it is a source of comfort. When coupled with pornography, it turns into an abnormal stimulus that the brain relies on to function. This is when addiction happens, and in severe cases, masturbation adversely impacts your life.

Masturbation Addiction
Masturbation ruins your life as you hurl deeper into addiction. This addiction becomes heightened as children reach their teenage years when life becomes especially challenging. Fast forward years later, if the brain is still relying on the same self-soothing technique, it will most likely face challenges in life and relationships directly related to porn. This is because when masturbating, the brain is receiving an overwhelming amount of dopamine that you can’t find anywhere else. The brain will continue to go back to masturbating time and time again in search of that dopamine hit.
To combat the brain’s urge to return to the screen and masturbate, a couple of things need to be done.
- First, find out what the brain is trying to self-soothe. Dig into the past and find out what possible triggers or trauma there may be. This prevents ruining your life by constant masturbation. Find it, process it, and resolve it so the trauma leaves the nervous system.
- Second, seek out new self-soothing habits. This can include exercise, joining groups with like-minded people, and finding a hobby.
- Lastly, try to find joy and fulfillment in the real world. When successfully finding happiness in jobs, hobbies, and relationships, the brain is rewired to go into the real world for dopamine instead of the screen. In essence, this can drastically reduce the likelihood of masturbation ruining your life as you find other avenues for joy.
