Oh, Phenix. Poor, poor Phenix.
This is a joke right? Maybe not, since you spent so much time and used so many words to write it. Let's assume you're serious. I still shouldn't be giving you the time of day, but if I can save one Peachy member from believing this gullible nonsense, this reply will have served its purpose.
Normally I hear this kind of lunacy from fundamentalist Christians who base their belief system on stories written in ancient times when superstition was as rampant as a lack of logic. But you don't mention a higher power anywhere in your post, so let's assume you're basing this solely on what you've read on the Internet, or personally felt while mindlessly succumbing to a placebo effect.
You remind me of people who believe in “alternative” medicine like chugging pomegranate juice, popping bee pollen capsules or merrily subjecting themselves to coffee enemas. You remind me of people who believe that home births are far better than having babies in those icky hospitals, which offer women pain relief and keep them from possibly bleeding to death. Others? That every word of the bible is true, despite the multitude of contradictions inside. That conspiracy theorists are always right. That vaccinating your children is wildly dangerous. That going outside with wet hair can make you sick. I think you get the idea.
Can masturbation or internet pron be a problem for some people? Well, if it's in the DSM (do you even know what that is?), then yeah, I might accept it at some level. I say “some level” because it wouldn't include a side effect such as a weakened immune system. Also, I'm sighing right now as I notice that nowhere in your post do you mention having any medical credentials. That means you're just blindly rejecting science and feeling a superiority over experts in related fields. And I don't see any actual medical references to back up your claims, such as the “research” you say is available to show that watching pron and/or masturbating leads to a shrinking brain. Maybe you're assuming I'm dumb enough to automatically believe you. All you point to are more testimonials and websites like Reddit. Really? Reddit?
I've been lucky enough to spend 15 years reading studies in publications including JAMA. (Look it up.) Not one that I've seen has backed up your claims. But you don't even need access to this research to know how ridiculous your post is. Do you really need to aggressively avoid spilling your “nutrient”-rich seed? I hope everyone reading this, including you, know that your semen reserves are constantly being replenished. This is proven by the fact you can ejaculate multiple times a day, every day, and never run dry. My record is masturbating six times in one day. Why did I do that? I said to myself, “Well, my gf-is-working (now my wife), so I might as well have some fun. Another record is having sex with my wife seven times in 15 hours, and trust me, there was still ejaculate present during that final, glorious act of love. I would be irresponsible to leave out the fact that, whether after masturbation or sex with my beautiful better half, I remain creative, stutter-free, quite motivated and have zero anxiety. In fact, during those times, and as of right now, I'm quite healthy and happy. 31 years of masturbation. No problems.
Many fine people, including myself, can masturbate frequently and still stand at the ready when they go anywhere near their significant others. I've masturbated twice today, and just two hours ago, my wife simply gave me a long, intimate hug and I was starting to get a full erection. If some guys don't have this ability, it's due to psychological factors or biological irregularities, not self-pleasure.
It's scientifically proven that ejaculating, whether through masturbation or coitus, releases hormones including dopamine and oxytocin, which are linked to pleasure. In addition, the pituitary gland releases beta-endorphins, which decrease pain. Google a few reputable sources and you'll see for yourself. I don't have to add the references like you should have done... I'm not the one making outrageous claims.
People have a tendency to remain gullible despite the ever-growing mountain of answers coming out of scientific research. Centuries ago, people were killed for saying the earth was round and that it orbited around the sun. But to this day, the Flat Earth Society still has members. Desperation also makes people turn a blind eye to science. Two examples: fad diets and penis-enlargement potions. Want to experience the Medicine Show of the 21 st century? It's the belief that a pill or lotion can grow one specific part of your body.
One more source of gullibility is being introduced to a “fact” by uneducated or devious people. It's absolutely astounding how many of them have Photoshopped images thought to be true by a large portion of the masses. My favorite is a fake photo of a long piece of faces-type material that was said to be undigested food stuck in someone's intestines. If I remember correctly, the photo was used as an attempt to keep people from eating meat. If you think about this for a second, logic tells you the digestive system is the body's own cleansing device. It miraculously washes any undigested food out of your body. Why hasn't this photo and its related frightening concept been proven by any actual invasive or non-invasive means? If this concept was true, you'd hear about it outside of an e-mail forward or on Reddit. Yeah. Reddit.
I can easily include more fake bullet points to the ones you breathlessly listed in your post, and people would believe those too. Let's see... how about shinier hair? How about improved hearing and sight? How about gradually gaining the ability to attain fluorescence? I wish one of the benefits could be losing naivete.
Dearest Phenix, I'm not writing this trying to get you to stop clinging to your beliefs. That never works. I just want others to know that there's another side to this bizarre idea, and it's based on logic and science. Medical experts read concepts like yours and just shake their head. You said abstaining gives you feelings of well-being. You know what gives me feelings of well-being? Not having to read garbage like this.
Orgasms are awesome. I have spoken.
