You probably know that alcohol is classified as a depressant. Don’t be fooled. Masturbation and pornography addictions are also forms of depression. Yes, some persons can tolerate alcohol and, yes, masturbation can be a natural act of sexual activity. But, both conditions can ignite dependencies with serious repercussions.
As each person’s physical and emotional balance is unique, his or her response to the same neurochemical transmission is unique. By nature, addiction is a depressing enterprise. When one loses one’s self control, the individual’s self-esteem and self-confidence are undermined. Just as with drugs or alcohol, the intake causes an exciting response and the individual is too weak to resist.
The response is generally short-lived while the effects remain longer and longer. Meanwhile, the brain begins to push for re-supply almost immediately. Soon, the need to re-supply becomes compulsive, the most dominant element of each day or every hour.
All dependencies are dangerous. They are expensive, usually involve contraband and can create serious legal, relationship and professional problems. If you understand that pornography and masturbation can be addictive, isn’t it time to learn more?

There are several treatment options, depending upon the severity of the case and any extenuating psychological issues. Remember that alcoholics continue to drink because they are dependent and because they are combating their depression. Addiction to pornography and masturbation are very much the same. To stop the depression, lifestyle change is needed.
In detox centers, alcoholics are cleansed. Treatment for pornography and masturbation addiction will also necessitate a fair amount of cleansing. Addicts must dispose of all their porn outlets and resources and funnel positive energy in as a replacement for the porn-masturbation cycle.
This release can have surprising and discomforting effects. But, your body and your psyche are more flexible than you think. There is no substitute for positive achievement, although a healthy amount of exercise will help ease the pressure of distancing yourself from the addictive materials. Basically, the addict needs to change the pattern and cycle of the habit. Replacing something negative and self-defeating with something positive and confident is always beneficial.
One of the biological consequences of masturbation is that 400 percent more prolactin, the hormone that relaxes one after orgasm, is released during intercourse with a partner. When masturbating, the level of prolactin diminishes and reduces the feeling of satisfaction while increasing the level of frustration. This drives the addict to continually attempt to reproduce the intended result. The cycling process can be humiliating.
This biological explanation does not include an assessment of the emotional release that partnered sex emits. This emotional connection is important to the enjoyment of sexual activity and is just as significant for males as it is for females.
