00:00Prepare to be shocked because masturbation addiction is much more harmful than you probably

00:06can imagine.

00:07Many people have had a masturbation habit since they were young, and they think it's

00:12just a harmless habit that is helping them to soothe and feel good.

00:17Well, what you might not know is that masturbation addiction is correlated with one really devastating

00:25physical health issue.

00:27I'm Dr. Trish Lee.

00:28In this video, I'm going to share that with you, and I'm also going to share how masturbation

00:35addiction can impact your mental and cognitive health, your physical health, and your relationships.

00:41So stay tuned all the way through this video so I can explain it to you and help you to

00:47figure out how to move forward.

00:49As a certified brain health and sex addiction recovery coach, I want you to know the devastating

00:55impact that a compulsive masturbation habit can have.

00:59So many people think masturbation is harmless, but what they are not considering is the compulsive

01:05nature that masturbation has for so many people.

01:09That is a discerning factor.

01:11So if you have had a long-standing, consistent, frequent, and especially if it's associated

01:18with porn consumption or fantasy, that becomes a higher level of intensity in terms of your

01:25masturbation habit.

01:26Likely, that's compulsive masturbation, meaning that not only do you want to do it to feel

01:33good, but you have to do it to not feel bad.

01:37Compulsive masturbation can lead to mental and cognitive health issues, namely anxiety,

01:44depression, difficulty with focusing.

01:46It also can lead to physical issues due to neurochemical and hormone imbalances because

01:53of arousal dysfunction in the brain.

01:56What this can lead to is difficulty becoming and staying aroused.

02:02So the number one physical issue that masturbation addiction is causing in men young and old is

02:10erectile dysfunction.

02:11I refer to it as SAD, sexual arousal dysfunction.

02:16This also can include DE and PE.

02:19So if you're struggling with sexual arousal dysfunction, your masturbation habit is likely

02:25at play.

02:27The fatigue and emotional strain of addiction or compulsion also wears on you.

02:32It also can wear on your relationship.

02:34So if you're looking for a relationship or you're in a relationship and the pull or the

02:40urge or the craving back to masturbation is there for you, we know that can lead to

02:45lower sexual satisfaction, especially within a partnership.

02:49All of this happens due to the hijacking of the dopamine centers, the reward centers in

02:56the brain and the reward pathways.

02:59Science has documented when masturbation goes unchecked, it can hijack these reward centers,

03:05making it so that you want to go back to higher level physical and mental stimulation for higher

03:12levels of dopamine.

03:14Dopamine is known as the molecule of more motivation and pleasure.

03:18And you know what it does?

03:19It motivates you back for more masturbation to feel good and to not feel bad.

03:26The downward spiral of masturbation can include the fact that you're using masturbation to feel

03:33good and to offset negative feelings.

03:36It's not even about sex.

03:37Most times it's about mood regulation.

03:40So you want to feel better offset stress or boredom.

03:43So you masturbate.

03:44But ultimately what that does is it leaves your brain in a dopamine deficit state when you go

03:51back into your life.

03:52So ultimately it leads to more stress, more fatigue, more need for stimulation.

03:59So I want you to know that if you have an unchecked masturbation habit, and especially if you feel

04:06like it is compulsive in nature, you find yourself going back to it frequently, consistently, and

04:13with any level of intensity, that this is impacting your mental health, your physical health, especially

04:20sexual arousal dysfunction, namely erectile dysfunction, and it can create strife in your

04:27relationship.

04:28And it's all due to dysfunctional brain pattern at the core of that hijacked dopamine system.

04:36So if you want to learn more about how your brain is hijacked by masturbation and what you

04:42can do to overcome masturbation addiction, please go over to drtrishlee.com for more information.

04:50And as always, control your brain or it'll control you.
