How does Masturbarion effect metabolism?
-
Been researching a lot about metabolism but couldn't find much about masturbation's imp t on it. Would love to hear if y'all have found anything on it or know anything about it.
-
I would guess that it has no effect on metabolism at all.

@IceCreamGroyper To begin with, it's a symptom of a dysfunctional organism especially when done frequently. High estrogen leads to it. The bioenergetic viewpoint is holistic, so to start with human behavior -as if it is separate from the organism to begin with- is very misguided should you wish to get an accurate view of reality. Behavior such as this differs from other behavior as it's beyond the means of sustaining, although even your cravings are first subject to your metabolic state.
Any arousal absent stimulation is usually dysfunctional. Check out the works of Wilhelm Reich, and Ray's writings on the matter - in Mind and Tissue if I'm not mistaken -to find out more. There's an axis to be found in these works, concerning orgastic potential
Whole-body <---------> Genital
The purely genital sexual acts -not limited to masturbation- are much more frequent in hormonally disordered organisms, and the act itself will by its nature increase prolactin and estrogen. Masturbation will also strongly deplete zinc and other mineral stores just by the fact of ejaculation, but this approach of Reich's paradigm gives a better way to understand it than just 'ejaculation bad'.
As far as research goes, I'm not sure.

@CO3 where to start with reich's work in this area?

@CO3 You are in another thread saying puritan anti masturbation anti pleasure type stuff is behind circumcision and is bad, yet in this thread saying similar reasoning as to why its bad...
You are saying its a hormone issue that causes someone to masturbate? Interesting take. Most of the stuff of NoFap seems to be a placebo and does nothing in my experience. Ive never been a frequent jerker, but ive also gone months without and i see 0 difference. In fact i think sexual function is better when your dick is used, use it or lose it seems to be very real for the penis.The nutrient depletion aspect is also suspect, those nutrients in the sperm arent being used anywhere else while they are in the testes and the turnover and re-absorption isnt going to make a big difference i dont think

@IceCreamGroyper If you're viewing pornography with it then you will encounter all of the brain degenerating effects described at the YBOP website.

similar reasoning
Ok prove it NOW or shut the FUCK UP
-
@IceCreamGroyper it is complex but i think the biggest player is elevated prolactin

Actually he thinks that "capitalism" is behind circumcision lol. https://bioenergetic.forum/post/9239
But yeah if you have a need to jerk off everytime you see a hot woman on your screen it means you are high in estrogen as your body will feel the need to reproduce as it gets "scared" that it may not be able to again. Carrot a day is my prescription for that.
