Can excessive masturbation/edging ruin development?

[UKGuy Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close UKGuy]

You may laugh but when I was younger I masturbated a lot in fact I would often edge for hours. I didn't ejaculate that much though maybe twice a day at the most. Mainly I would just jerk off for hours I never really feel that manly never did as a child/teenager I felt weaker than other boys/men still do. Basically i'm wondering can you damage your development in puberty by masturbating too much? I remember reading something once that said excessive edging can actually increase estrogen so I'm wondering if I'm fucked basically. Unfortunately I got into porn very young around 10 or something and also I would stay up all night playing videogames/watching movies/porn etc. Has anyone else experienced the same thing am I unmanly because of my masturbating/porn addiction? It wouldn't surprise me if this kind of lifestyle damaged my entire development.

It is difficult to masturbate too much without porn .
With porn can cause an issue .

I'm a bit addicted to porn, yeah honestly I'm convinced I'm messed up because of masturbating too much growing up. I've heard others say there's "nothing manly about him" Perhaps I just wasn't born masculine? who knows Part of me feels that because I masturbated so much that maybe I didn't have enough Testosterone to develop properly during puberty or something.

Uh huh .
Look I masturbated for hours and ejaculated multi times a day . It did not have this effect on me and there seems no evidence it does in anyone .

Porn can cause issues you should quit if you feel it is haveing negative effects.

Frivolous masturbation can cause issues when:

-Overdone (depletes libido)

-Performed in a manner inconsistent with live sexual contact (too tight a grip, too fast) which can cause negative adaptation issues

-Used in conjunction with porn (see: The Detraining Effect: Understanding and Reversing Negative Habits To Improve Erection Quality and Sexual Confidence )

So can affect libido or sensitivity your other worries are unfounded.

Masturbation a lot has many physical benefits and very minor physical drawbacks. The physical drawbacks can include desensitization/sore skin and reduced orgasm intensity. Both are easily reversible if you just cut back. Some guys who masturbate a lot figure out what gets them off the best, and if that technique/sensation is absent when having sex with someone, they might have a harder time reaching peak excitement (boner) or orgasm. Again, cut back on the fapping and this resolves. I had this problem - if she didn’t grip it just right during a blowjob, I preferred to stroke it myself towards the end to get there. I just masturbated less and used different grips and this resolved. Now I enjoy blowjobs with her doing it all.

In your case, though, you caused yourself sleep deprivation to masturbate. There are many negative physical effects from this, especially in adolescents. I won’t list them here, but you can google it and find all kinds of credible info.

St if udies min two AUstralian universitites had shown the too much is never enough.

It was shown that young men (young means just approaching puberty) who J/)O regularly and frequently will encounter fewer prostate issues in later life. It seeems the reason in that, if not regulalyr disposed of the prostatic fluid will go "sour" in which condition it is carcinogenic.

I consider this is a good reason why pre pubescent boys should be trained in masturbatory techniques and encouraged to J/O as often as possible. NO age is too young.

This is not child molestation. It is preparing young men and boys for what is there is their most important destiny.

Dude, if you can harm your development in puberty by masturbating too much then believe me, I am fucked! Most other men probably would be too.
In no particular order, there is nothing "Unmanly" by harnessing the sexual force in your own bod, even if it's 5 times a day like I used to. Pleasuring yourself teaches you how your own body works and I've probably learned as much about myself from wanking as I've learnt from sex with others. In fact I'd say that beating off is very manly it's a chance to connect with your inner beast.

You don't know for certain how weak or strong other men are, so you can't make a comparison. I can't exactly define "Manliness" but I think I can perceive it in other men. It can't be measured like a triathlon PB or how much you can bench and it does depend on how that guy projects himself.

You've heard others say "There's nothing manly about him", Well, most people are going to have every insult in the book thrown at them at least once in their life and probably some of the complements to, all they need to do is live long enough!

Porn can be a source of harm as well as a force for good but there's plenty on here about sorting your head out with regard to porn.

I think you have a low self esteem issue and you need to boost your confidence and marathon whacking off sessions and checking out grot years ago have NOT hobbled you for life. I also think sleep depravition is an issue too. I'm at an age where a lot of my peers are having kids, so they no longer get to sleep all through the night and it does change them. Very noticeable in men. But that can be undone too,

The biggest negative things with masturbation at any age is you're simply setting yourself for being a two pump chump.

Yeah I've overheard women say that I'm not manly at all, some joke that I'm a "pretty boy" basically meaning I'm gay it really upsets me at at times as I've always fancied women not men don't think I'm even bisexual. I did masturbate a lot during my youth but I don't think it's my fault that I'm supposedly feminine I wouldn't class myself as metro sexual either but it seems that's how some women perceive me.

I think you have a low self esteem issue and you need to boost your confidence

I agree I really struggle with this I've tried everything from affirmations to counselling nothing works still can't stand myself. Also it's hard to feel confident when there's hardly anything to hold onto I hate my average sized cock too and yes I damaged it by me jelqing incorrectly it's the main reason I'm so insecure when it comes to women not to mention looking "boyish" Besides I don't think women really like me so it's hard to feel good about myself.
