Muscle strains every time when watching porn and masturbating

[Jlee8888]

Hello,
I have a big question.
It seems whenever I masturbate (watching porn), I always end up spasming/ pulling a muscle.
I end up having to take weeks or months at least to stretch/massage and rehabilitate a muscle group.
When I did it standing up I strained my back muscles. When I did it on my back I stained my abdominal muscles. One time I strained my pelvic muscles. Which muscle I strain seems to be depend on the position I masturbate when watching porn.
Is this related to POIS? Before I got POIS (in my early twenties I got it), during a high schooler I used to watch porn and masturbate all the time before I got POIS and I had no issues like this at all.
Is it possible the brain/central nervous system locks abnormally in the porn while masturbating/climaxing and somehow overrides any pain because of POIS disorder?
I've searched this forum and it seems this issue doesn't seem to affect anyone here.
My POIS is strictly neurological symptoms mostly and not really body-allergy variety.
You guys think this strange issue of always pulling a muscle group when watching porn and masturbating is a neurological disorder part of POIS or am I just too rough/normal?

Can anyone in particular the senior members/admins of this forum give their input on my situation please?

Hi Jlee,

I have some questions for you, I am not sure I understand some aspects of your situation.

If I understand you well, you have POIS, a neurological type of it, on one hand, and you also have this muscles strain problem.  Is that right?

If so, can you be more specific about your POIS ? What are your "usual" symptoms ?

And, do the muscle strains happens only when watching porn?  If you masturbate without porn you have POIS but no strained muscles or any fatigue or muscle ache ?

Hi Quantum,

Thank you so much for replying.

My typical POIS symptoms are brain fog, sense of laziness, troubling talking eloquently.
If I masturbate just once the symptoms are fairly mild and mostly slight brain fog but can last anywhere from few days to longer than a week.
If I masturbate multiple times a day, then the symptoms get much more noticeable, and can last multiple weeks. If masturbate multiple times a day it can lead to bad mood.

I believe my symptoms are neurological, my body feels fine.
I think when I masturbate very softly with lube and no porn, physically I'm fine.
It's when I watch porn and my muscles get spasmed (due to the physical act) according to my position, and I have to get physical therapy for the muscle spasms to go away. I believe this is unlike muscle soreness or tenderness due to a direct allergic reaction, but more so the muscle being spasmed or aggravated due to the masturbation act (seems muscles get too tightened?).
It's not like muscles are sore for just the POIS duration and it goes away, it's a actual muscle spasm caused by the maturation session with porn that takes only physical therapy to resolve.
Generally my fatigue with POIS is not bad unless I madturbate multiple times a day.

My question is do you guys think my brain is causing some kind of over excitement when watching porn and de sensitizing any pain, so that I do it too hard and cause a muscle spasm? Basically do people ever get muscle spasms after a porn masturbation session that is not directly did to POIS? Mine may be due to my brain and POIS, but remember my muscle spasms are not ones that last the duration of POIS but more real muscle spasm injury (lower back when standing up and masturbating, abs when doing it face up) that will last forever unless physical therapy is given.

[Jlee8888]

It seems whenever I watch porn and masturbate I always pull a muscle somewhere (an actual muscle pull that requires PT to resolve, not allergic reaction type that lasts just with POIS duration).
You guys ever heard of this, you think this is linked to POIS, or I'm just doing it too rough/get too excited when watching porn?
Basically I don't know why whenever I watch porn and madturbate I pull a muscle somewhere .

[Jlee8888]

Please let me know your opinions on my situation. Has anyone experienced pulled muscles after a masturbation session with porn? (Not the sore muscles as a POIS primary symptom, but possibly a secondary one, or by getting too excited watching porn??)
Am I the only one experienced this? Is this muscle pull tendency a POIS symptom or unrelated to it??

[Jlee8888]

Just to clarify, it's not a general feeling of muscle spasm or cramps, but the muscle spasm is in wherever depending on my position and which part of my body was most tense according to the position I masturbated.
For example when I did it standing up, my back only bore the brunt of the tension. When on my back face up my abdominal muscles are spasmed only. When face down my pelvic muscles.
It's only each time where the part of body was most tense, but everywhere else body feels normal.
Is it more clear or still confusing?
It seemed my guess is my brain POIS got overly excited and ignored my body feeling too tense in one part of body when watching porn, and that part of body gets spasmed after the session?

[Jlee8888]

Please let me know if still confusing.

[Jlee8888]

Pretty much it seems when I watch it and do it, ever since I got POIS, too much pressure tension is placed on a part of the body and that part goes into a muscle spasm according to position I'm in when doing it.
When I don't watch it and do it very carefully and softly it seems no muscles are effected/spasmed up.

Hi Jlee,

What you describe about your POIS sounds very typical symptoms  ( fatigue, speech problems, ...), and in your case, it seems a mild to moderate case of POIS.  The more severe POIS symptoms you describe when having more than one release in a short time span is also a common feature for POIS sufferers.

However, muscle aches are usual, but your specific muscle strain problem is not.  I cannot answer your question, you will have to find out for yourself - all I can do is share some hypothesis.  In my view, what's happening at the moment of ejaculation has influence on the type and severity of the POIS symptoms coming after  ( for example, in my case, the more I let go, the less symptoms I have, and if I ejaculate while trying to hold it back, POIS will be more severe).   So, I guess that in your case, the state that a group of muscles is in at the exact moment you ejaculate may have an influence of what is happening after.   I hear you that this strains do not follow the same resolution pattern as other symptoms does, but it may be a "hybrid" symptom, partly due to over-contraction and partly due to POIS.  So, if at the time of release, some muscle are strongly contracted, and have been for a certain time, it may cause a specific happening there that do not happen in the other, relaxed muscles.    You could do some tests yourself, to verify that.  Like, masturbating in this "hard core" mode for a certain duration, but not going through, and not ejaculating, and see if you get muscle strains.  But of course, I am not at ease with this idea of very muscular and harsh masturbation, so my best advice would be the following:

Obviously, the easy answer to your strain problem is simply to stay relax while you have an O, and stick with the "soft" mode that does not cause you these problems.  Anyway, being to harsh and muscular during sex is usually not the way to go, in my opinion.  Some guys go so far in this way that they have a hard time enjoying normal sex with a normal woman, they find this too "muted".  I suggest you take simply a more natural approach to this, and bring down a bit the "intensity" knob.

I hope this will help you clarify all this and find your own answer to this situation.

I never have muscle spasm. I have muscle fatigue and mild pain, that is likely caused by low cortisol (adrenal fatigue).

I think your muscle spasm is a different issue. You need to discuss it with doctors.

Exactly POIS. Symptoms of POIS are consistent with low dopamine and low adrenal function (low cortisol). Also vagus nerve has effect on adrenal glands.

And I suggest stop watching porn. You can also read this website: yourbrainonporn.com

I have also stopped watching girls in the streets, parks, etc. LOL. That way I can abstain longer and I feel better.

[Jlee8888]

Thank you very much all. Anyone have any more inputs please?

[Jlee8888]

I'd like to clarify that these are muscle spasms (muscles stuck in contraction mode and need therapy to "unstuck" them). Could it be possible during orgasm the neurological imbalance prevents some muscles from relaxing fully and instead keeps them contracted? Thus making them into spasm? I can't find anything online regarding this. Any tips/leads from anyone?

[b_jim]

I have muscle spasms a bit "all the time", and alot after ejaculation. The fact to warch porn or to be excited don't influence intensity of spams.
The best tip i can give to you is to take a good magnesium supplement (glycerophosphat form) and taurine. Taurine makes 70% of the job and magnesium 30%.

[Jlee8888]

B Jim has any of these spasms not gone away for you unless you had physical therapy/trigger point release/therapy to unstuck these muscles? The thing is I never have any sort of muscle spasms or problems ever, only sometime after I masturbate/watch porn!!

[Jlee8888]

Or anybody??

[b_jim]

Not easy to answer. My spasms never gone away. I started to have spasms when I started to have Pois.
Adrenaline is factor of muscles spasms. If you feel a great excitation for example when you watch porn, it can trigger spasms.
I have don't have a great excitation (or less!) when I watch porn but maybe I'm older than you
I have muscle spasms after sneezing (!).
Sneeze is like a mini-orgasm

[Jlee8888]

Makes sense. But lots of people, even with POIS watch porn get excited and masturbate? But I haven't heard anyone else experience these muscle spasms even after a exciting session? Anyone? Could it be dopamine or adrenaline imbalance during masturbation/orgasm? But how come not many else on here have experienced this? Seems like I'm the only one with a acute muscle spasm issue when doing this?

[Jlee8888]

Could be myself being overexcited by porn (really exciting scene/themes) and therefore increasing too much dopamine and adreline and fight or flight response and causes the muscles the be stuck/spasm? But nobody else has this it seems, is it possible to get this with too exciting porn?
