[Rish]

Do you think that this issue of POIS has happened because of overmasturbation?

Highly unlikely.

Possibly.

Half of us including myself had pois symptoms from our very first masterbation. How can this be the result of overmasterbation?

When it relates to Sexual Exhaustion, yes. Absolutely.

Dr. Lin is slammed by most everyone on this forum, but (IMO) here are some good links to better understand how the body is "knocked out of balance" if you are dealing with sexual addiction and sexual exhaustion.

You don't need to specifically buy his supplements. Just look up the ingredients from his website list and go from there to develop your own personal healing protocol. The overall message of this is as follows:

* The HPA-testicular axis is blown out and now underpowered / under-charged.
* The liver is no longer sufficiently manufacturing & metabolizing the right enzymes to counter-balance your hormone release from orgasm (orgasm releases inflammatory hormones that trigger inflammation response).
* Adrenals are over-producing cortisol and adrenaline.
* The sympathetic nervous system is now over-stimulated and at a higher baseline, causing fight-or-flight nervous fires.
* The brain is over-converting dopamine to norepinephrine
* GABA / Dopamine / Serotonin are burnt out and Glutamate / Adrenaline / Noradrenaline are too high
* Testicular function is underpowered and there is an imbalance of testosterone
* Proper supplementation, nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle adjustments will get your body and its energy centers back in alignment

There are a handful of videos on YouTube selling supplements to recover from this as well.

However it's not just about supplements. It requires a commitment to a lifestyle change. If over-masturbation is related to an underlying problem of porn addiction or sex addiction, you are also dealing with opioid receptor and dopamine receptor imbalances that need to up regulate through a prolonged period of abstinence (look up the Gary Wilson literature). The addiction withdrawal symptoms / post-acute withdrawal symptoms are parallel to POIS symptoms.

In my case I think it was a major factor in conjunction with having genes that are prone to an autoimmune disease (which I think POIS is personally). I have notable autoimmune diseases in my family tree. If I could go back to my 15 year old self I'd warn not get into porn heavy and tell myself to put the dick down and live life. I think masturbation is normal and fine in moderation but porn adds an addictive facet thus overmasturbation. Just an opinion from a fellow POISer.
