It feels good for the first time, but when it becomes an addiction, it changes your world completely in a bad way.
This article will let you go through some horrifying effects of masturbation that impacted many lives very hard.
But first, let me clear something, this article is made with the help of surveys (I used my Facebook group to do the survey, more than a thousand people participated in that survey. It helped me a lot.), some personal talks, and my experience.
There are very few research papers available about the effects of excessive masturbation on human health, that’s why it was pretty hard to link research papers in this article.
According to many health magazines and sites, masturbation is good and doesn’t affect negatively at all, but they dont tell you the complete story. I am here to reveal the mental and physical downsides you may face when you become addicted to masturbation and porn.
Without wasting anymore time let’s begin.
1: Erectile Dysfunction
ED is a kind of disability that nobody would like to get as a man. It is such a shame, we know that porn and excessive masturbation develops chances of catching horrifying ED, still, so many sites promote masturbation by tagging it is a healthy activity.
Porn plays a big role in ED, bigger than masturbation. It gives us feeling like nothing can give, and releases an insane amount of dopamine into the brain, which makes us addicted to it.
So many people have reported that their penis isn’t getting hard as it used to get, and when they stopped their supply of regular porn, their penis also got a new life.
NoFap can play a huge role in curing ED, at least it is better than spending tons of money on medicine and operations.
2: Premature Ejaculation
In today’s generation, there very few people who masturbate without porn. Most of us want porn to get us erect, and that sums up how drastically porn is growing. It is becoming an everyday activity for many people.
Like Ed, premature ejaculation is also shameful. Imagine how mortifying that moment would be, when you ejaculated before even pulling it in, what your girl will think.
The growth of power pills are increasing, however, it gives side effects as well. You can not rely on those pills for a longer period of time, you have to fix the issue naturally. The best way to do that is to take a nofap challenge for a longer period of time, for example, 90 days.
Here are some more useful tips you can try to improve your sexual stamina.
3: Hair Breakage/Thinning or Hair Loss
Ask any bald person whether they would like to get their hair back or not, answer will be yes, always.
I’ve personally experienced the effects of regular masturbation on hair. My hair used to look like a goat chewed them. It was a complete mess, but now after quitting PMO, my hair feels strong and smooth. Girls give compliments on it as well 😉.
4 endocrinologists in 1976 itself confirmed that masturbation causes an increase in DHT levels, you can also cross-check this with any endocrinologists.
And yes, masturbating 2-3 times a week may not cause hair loss but masturbating once or more every day would significantly increase DHT and block nutrient supply to the affected follicles thereby causing hair loss.

4: Feeling Weak
Are you feeling weak all the time? It could be because of your habit. Masturbation makes you weak and there is no doubt about it.
It not only makes you weaker physically but mentally as well. In 2021, the competition is higher than ever before, and you have to be stronger than ever before to sustain the pressure that you may face.
Masturbation decrease your brain and body capabilities, it makes every task harder. According to my experience, it also squeezes your hand power, it sucks your hand strength and makes it weak. That’s why people who masturbate every day, don’t see much gain in their body even after months of the gym.
5: Poor Sporting Performances
How can you play better when you have already released your energy? Excessive masturbation kills the stamina that is required to make you a great athlete.
Most of the coaches and experienced athletes suggests staying away from all these as much as you can because they know that it will suck your energy and will put you in a state where it will become very difficult for you to come again on the same form which you were in before catching the addiction to PMO (Porn, Masturbation, and Orgasm).
6: Lazyness
I think it is the most common effect of masturbation. The excitement just vanishes after masturbation.
Overstimulating your sexual organ brings you to a state where everything becomes hard. Even the smallest of tasks like standing up and drinking water becomes too much for you. It feels great when you are in the process but when you finish, it makes you ultra pro max lazy.
Masturbation also increases procrastination, you’ll start to delay things for no reason. Time wasting in my eyes is the biggest crime because this life won’t come again.
7: Impacts Eyes (Weaker eyesight, dry eyes, dark circles, etc)
Eyes are the most sensitive organ in our body and important too!
An average porn viewer wastes about 30 minutes to 2 hours a day which sounds not too much but when addiction starts to kick in, it can go like 6 hours a day or more which is terrifying. It could give a severe impact on the eyes and can easily downgrade eyes.
Some people also believe our sperm contains vital nutrients and it can take weeks or even months to regenerate again, but when we start to violate the T&C of our body by wasting it every day, then our body finds a way to compensate it by cutting down the nutrition supply which goes towards your brain, eyes, and other body parts, ultimately you become weaker than yesterday.
Monks believe that sexual energy is the most powerful energy and a man should not waste it without any reason. They should only use it for reproduction purposes. Otherwise, the effects would not be good!
8: Weak Teeth and Gum Problems
Not only eyes but masturbation may also impact your teeth and gums. It is not proven, but the survey I have done in which I ask the question, Do you think masturbation decreases the strength of teeth and gums? 76% of people said yes!
I asked that question because I’ve personally felt that masturbation has weakened the strength of my teeth. I used to chew sugarcane with my teeth easily but now it is difficult for me, even though I brush regularly two or sometimes three times a day.
9: Digestive Problems
Quitting PMO and staying on Nofap for longer creates good blood flow in the body which helps in curing digestive problems. You will feel it.
Excessive masturbation increases blood circulation only for some time in your sexual areas and brain but after ejaculation, you may notice low blood circulation which can cause several issues including muscle cramps, numbness, digestive issues, and coldness in the hands or feet.
If you are an athlete or want to be an athlete or a good sportsman then you should focus on increasing blood circulation to improve exercise performance and recovery.
There are some incredible foods available outside that can help in increasing circulation, Cayenne Pepper, Pomegranate, Onions, Garlic, and Cinnamon. (Source: Healthline)
You can also try adding meditation and cold shower to 20X the benefits of NoFap.
10: Weaker Immunity
Falling sick was pretty normal for me when I used to masturbate daily. I’ve visited doctors countless times and tried many medications, but nothing was going in my favor, they were giving me temporary results.
I dont write these blog posts just to get visitors and earn money from it, believe me, I really wanna help you guys by showing the reality of porn and masturbation. I am not like other bloggers who just tag masturbation and porn as a healthy activity.
There are two types of people, one who fap daily and the second who are irregular masturbators (A person who masturbates one or two times a week). If you fall in category one (A person who faps daily), the chances of you falling sick whenever whether changes are great. At least try to become an irregular one.
11: Headache
This point is especially for those people who spend hours and hours watching porn. Looking at the screen, we dont even realize how badly it impacts our eyes and brain, and that is the reason why some people gets an insane headache after porn session.
There are countless clinical studies that support the dangerous effects that blue light can have for people who are prone to headaches or migraine attacks.
Researchers have shown that there is a specific neural pathway from the eyes to the brain—separate from how vision is transmitted—that ultimately causes blue light wavelengths to worsen headache pain and other symptoms.
Others have pinpointed the exact wavelength to be in and around 480nm; it is exposure to this blue light that leads to high discomfort, a greater perception of pain and throbbing and even enhanced spreading of headache pain across the brain.1-3 And that does not even take into account that this color of light can increase other symptoms of migraine too, including aura symptoms, photophobia, and light sensitivity, dizziness/nausea, and more.

12: Stucking In A Loop
Have you ever noticed, you promise yourself that you’ll not do it next time, but what you do? You fall back into the same thing again and again.
A cycle gets created here which hurts your self confidence deeply. This loop will be full of regret and sadness that brings your motivation down.
13: Feeling Of Sad Day Night
Masturbation does make you feel happy and there is doubt about it, but the question is for how much time? Does it make you feel good all the time? May be not.
For a person like me, who was addicted to it deeply, it was very hard for me to find happiness in little things. I used to think, I look ugly, I am not confident, and I also used to think, I am becoming weaker from inside and outside after every ejaculation.
Now after joining the NoFap community and adapting it as a day to day activity. It is easy for me to cope with every feeling. I can calm my brain intense situations, I can control my aggression, and most importantly, I can encourage my brain to work.
14: Childish Behavior
I don’t think so anybody has ever mentioned anything like this before, but I have noticed, maturity level decreases when you masturbate too much because it sucks your real man and gives you a world of just imagination, not action.
You may feel like you are not worthy enough to lead someone or to become a leader somewhere. You may also feel, you need someone to help you in any difficult situation.
15: Developing Beta Male Like Symptoms
On one hand, Alpha males are leaders, they have a charisma that can charm anyone. Their work speaks louder than their words. They do what they say.
And on the other, beta males like to play blame games, they like to dream but they don’t wanna work for it.
Porn sends you into a fantasy world where everything seems true, but in reality, you are very far from it.
It develops a characteristic in you, which makes you a lazy beta who just dont wanna do the hard work but wants everything on his plate.
16: Great Procrastination
Delaying things without any reason is the biggest thing which stops many people from achieving what they want in their life. If you are a porn and masturbation addict then it is bad news for you again.
Your mind may start to tell you or I should say force you to watch porn instead of putting yourself on work because every time you watch porn, you are becoming good at it. And at a certain point, You’ll become a slave of your mind, it will not be in your control.
That’s why a lot of people struggle very hard to remove the black shadow of porn addiction from their life.
17: Fearing Girls
There is a humongous difference between a woman in reality and a woman in porn. Those girls that you are seeing in porn films are there to earn money, if they find any other source of money, then most of them want be going to work there.
Girls dont like to sell their body, understand that. You can ask any girl about it. They like to be loved, but they dont like to be called wh*res.
Girls like a confident person or a person who feels like a partner material, but when you go to them and show them your confidence which is already sucked by your addiction to porn and masturbation, chances of her accepting you as her partner will be negligible.
Many people have reported that they think a lot but when the girl that they like comes in front of them, all their plans vanish instantly.
