Question 1

could excessive masturbation cause brain damage?

Accepted Answer

No.  Just plain no.: One of the cults is making this claim to frighten young people. These people aren't your friends. Enjoying yourself becomes excessive when, and only when, it keeps you away from important life tasks like studying, working, learning skills, making friends, maybe finding somebody special. If it's obsessive, we can help with meds and/or talk.

Question 3

can masterbating while i have a concussion cause brain damage? why can't i participate in non-contact sports while recovering?

Accepted Answer

Not likely : Hi, no masterbating will not cause brain damage after a concussion...unless you are doing it in away that can cause another concussion?  As for non contact sports, well... There are standard algorithms for return to play and work.  The most notable is the ACE care plan, you can google it.  It is thought that Mental and or physical stress may prolong recovery time.

Question 4

20,male. no pleasure just discomfort and numb during masturbation/ejaculation. dont cum much. brain damage? also have low t. and ed. used to feel good

Accepted Answer

Get seen.: First, make sure that nothing physical is going on, like a hormonal imbalance.  If an exam and appropriate testing by your doc is all normal, then there are other reasons for low libido too.  Stop alcohol and all recreational drug use (if using).  Eat properly, exercise and consider being evaluated for possible depression or anxiety by a qualified psychologist or psychiatrist.

Question 10

does suboxone cause permanent brain damage?

Accepted Answer

Not permanent: Brain damage is not the word i would use. Opiate addiction in general can cause long lasting changes to the brain. Suboxone is a type of opiate and completely stopping it can be difficult without other forms of support. It takes time, "months" for the brain to recover. Things such as stress or "triggers" even months to years down the road could cause cravings, possible relapse, meetings help!
