The Side Effects of Masturbation

- how it affects your personality



The side effects of masturbation may be more than you bargain for.



What few people realize is that chronic masturbation will change the physical structure of your brain and can actually change your personality.

Thankfully, your brain is neuro plastic. It is moldable and changeable. You are not stuck with habits, addictions or personality those addictions have shaped. Behaviors you have learned you can unlearn and replace with healthy behaviors.

The Candeo program below will help you understand how your brain works and how to get your personality back to how you really want to be. Click below to find out more.

A man who viewed pornography and masturbated for 20 years was told by his doctor:

"You've destroyed your mind by fantasizing. You've dug a deep channel going in one direction. The rest of your mind is atrophied!"

He literally developed a “one track mind.” Sadly, he had a high level engineering brain and held a professional management position.

His habit was so neurologically destructive that he couldn’t remember anything and had to pack bags of chocolate for minimum wage. 5

Excessive masturbation: One man's testimony



“I discovered this fantasy at the age of puberty when I was 16 and I am still doing it at the age of 27.

If I had spent my precious time doing something more important I would have been a great successful person now. However, now I am a pathetic loser. I don't have a life, no girlfriend, no friends, no job, no nothing.

All I have are the symptoms of my stupid little habit, which are:

memory loss and very poor concentration, fatigue all the time, muscle cramp in legs and arms, short body, short and thin penis, lack of sleep, semen leakage, pain in testicles and abdomen, poor eye sight, fuzzy vision and eye floaters, back pain, shoulder pain, thin sperm, falling and thinning hair, weak bones, lack of interest in anything, guilt and shame, regret, depression, low self esteem and poor confidence to name but a few, although the list is too long;

the western scientists and doctors chat bulls shit that its perfectly fine to do it every now and again and it helps you keep healthy and learn the pleasure of sex.

But trust me, I am a living experienced addict and I know what it is like to have the symptoms of over-masturbation and sexual exhaustion.

They support the idea that it is harmless only to promote and encourage the use of pornography, which is a multi-billion business. Every day hundreds and millions of videos are produced for fools like me who spend their money and waste their precious life for a few moments of pleasure.

Trust me all my brothers who are reading this: I am now a living dead. I only eat, sleep and walk and that's it. I'm not capable of doing nothing. But if you want to [have] success, do not masturbate. Good luck to everybody.”6

Side effect of masturbation

- how it hurts your future spouse



Thinking about another woman (or man) lustfully in your heart is adultery (Matthew 5:27-28). You are setting yourself up for infidelity.

It sets you up for unrealistic expectations in marriage of how your husband or wife should perform in bed. You will inevitably be disappointed.



It decreases your ability to perform when you do get married because your body develops a need for certain stimulation which is unrealistic in marriage (you need something more exciting, more provocative or more dangerous to be aroused. Also the friction of your hand is more abrasive than the friction of intercourse which leads to sexual frustration in marriage.)

Masturbation is often used as an escape or coping activity for stress, anger, loneliness, tiredness, or fear, keeping you from developing a dependency on Christ to minister to you in difficult times through His word.

It fuels a feeling oriented (not principle oriented), self-indulgent (not self sacrificing) attitude of life. A good marriage (or any relationship for that matter) grows and thrives when both parties look for opportunities to give, not take.

Your husband or wife will feel hurt, rejected, replaced, betrayed, and deceived if you carry this on into marriage. Without trust there can be no true intimacy.
