Male Over-stimulation Explained – The Psychological and Physical Effects
In
the past, men and boys were sternly discouraged from manual stroking with dire
warnings about hairy palms, blindness and infertility, to name just a few of
the more commonly-cited dangers. Nowadays, it is generally accepted that manual
stroking is not only normal, but may have significant physiological and
emotional benefits. On the other hand, the saying that there can be too much of
a good thing is also true, and when it comes to male over-stimulation, men can
experience substantial problems in terms of psychological, physical and manhood
health.
Male
over-stimulation does not simply refer to frequent manual stroking, even if it
takes place more than once a day. Instead, male over-stimulation generally
refers to an extreme behavior that borders on obsession/compulsion. Some of the
most common negative effects on men’s reproductive health are described here.
Reproductive
fatigue
Extreme
manual stroking, especially with frequent emissions can effectively alter a
man’s body chemistry, causing negative side effects such as hair loss, fatigue,
memory loss, and (possibly) blurred vision. Pelvic pain may also occur.
Furthermore,
without allowing for a refractory period, it can become more and more difficult
to achieve and sustain tumescence, resulting in at least the appearance of
emasculation.
In
general, a reduction in the frequency of manual stroking should be enough to
alleviate these effects; men who find themselves unable to limit their solo
sessions should ask a therapist or psychological counselor for help.
Addictive
behaviors
Men
who self-stimulate compulsively often exhibit addictive behaviors, such as an
inability to stop, hiding the behavior, loss of interest in normal activities,
withdrawal from family and friends, difficulties at work, and so on. Men who
notice behaviors like these should seek medical attention immediately – and
addiction programs are also available for men who are concerned about their
obsessive manual stroking behavior.
Loss
of interest in partner activity
Excessive
manual stroking can cause men to lose interest in relations with a partner; the
more subtle sensations experienced during partner activity may no longer be
enough to bring about an emission, and men who are fatigued by male
over-stimulation may not be able to perform when there is another party
involved. This can, of course, lead to relationship issues, as well as loss of
self-esteem related to perceived emasculation. If manual stroking habits are
getting in the way of a healthy relationship, then having an honest
conversation with a partner, and perhaps seeking couples therapy, may help.
Soreness
or loss of sensation
Excessive
manual stroking creates a great deal of stress on the manhood tissue,
especially for men who use aggressive techniques – a tight grip, yanking and
twisting, rubbing against various objects, and so on. Not only can these
methods cause extreme soreness in the hours, or even days, following a rough
session; over time, these techniques can cause toughening of the skin and nerve
desensitization, leading to loss of male organ sensation.
Fortunately,
this problem is perhaps more easily addressed than the others described here.
Stroking less frequently will help, of course, but trying gentler techniques
and using a lube may also minimize soreness and friction-related injury. In
addition, use of a top-quality male organ health
crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man
Oil) can
lead to significant improvements. A product containing a high-end emollient
such as Shea butter can soothe sore, roughened skin and create a moisture
barrier that may reduce the effects of friction; and ingredients such as acetyl
L carnitine have neuroprotective properties that help support healthy nerve
function. Powerful vitamins like A and C can also improve the quality of the
skin, as well as supporting circulatory health. Applying a cream like this and
massaging it thoroughly into clean, damp skin on a daily basis can have
significant benefits in terms of manhood health and function.
