Causes of Addiction: Masturbation, Dopamine, and Drugs?
Question by Greg: Masturbation, Dopamine, and drugs?
According to some research I’ve done, sexual masturbation, and ejaculation in males in general, leads to Dopamine release, which is the same “happiness” contributor in drugs such as Cocaine and Crack.
Now if this is true, masturbation can be a bad thing when used above moderation. It might not be as addicting as cocaine which potentially damages dopamine receptors (causing more needed), but over time it could cause a change in perspective of feelings, and neurotic damage in other senses.
Another thing released is also Serotonin, which is a key ingredient in anti-depressants. By masturbating above-moderately, you release higher levels of serotonin, which also go against day-to-day operations and normal human functions, and could possibly lead to further “addiction” to masturbation. I’d say almost as bad as overdosing on anti-depressants without the whole leading to death consequence.
Are You a Little Low on Serotonin or Dopamine? Take a Test!
Ladies, do you feel depressed or overwhelmed by your moods? Men, do you frequently have low energy or can’t focus? Did you know that this could be from a lack of serotonin in women and dopamine in men? These are brain chemicals and when they’re at normal levels they create a sense of well being and contentment.
Many experts, including among others, John Gray, PhD., world-famous author suggests that we can create health, happiness and lasting romance by following a simple nutrition and exercise routine, as well as putting into practice some relationship and communication skills he recommends. The nutrition program helps the body create more serotonin and dopamine just by giving it the nutrients it needs each day, many of which we’re not getting in our foods any more.
