ok, i'll bite. What actually makes you want it psychologically more than normal?

Like i said, most young males males (that means pretty much all of you in the thread) masturbate at least once a day, maybe even twice. Frequent masturbation is not a problem or an addiction.

The difference is, most of us do our business and move on, and just about all of us could probably go on without for a couple weeks if the situation demanded it.

It becomes a problem when your life is dominated by it, and you are rubbing yourself raw. I can't say thats a common affliction.

the pleasureable feelings alone are not enough to addict you.

It's true. It's stopped feeling good a while ago. I just can't not do it. D':

alright, if you don't mind answering a personal question (and everyone else should answer to) how much do they honestly jerk one off a day?

Some people are just more horny than others.

Everything is addictive, CAB... EVERYTHING. Some things more than others, but yeah. Drugs aren't addictive just to people who have some sort of pshycological problems. Drugs give a good feeling, a feeling of happiness, and thus people long for it. Same with masturbation. Hell, even water can be addictive if you really like it and if it makes you feel good.

Except for you know, the CHEMICALS that they put in drugs to make them addictive.

Example: Nicotine in cigarettes.

I always get withdrawal symptoms when I try to give it up.

anything can be addictive.

Point proven. I'm not addicted to masturbation but I was once addicted to drugs. I quit about a year ago though. But anyways, even after I did, I started getting addicted to other things.
Anyways, anything can be addicted if it makes you feel good.

for me it works the other way around,
I personally resent masturbation, I can't stand it because I would rather do it.

about once every 4 months.
every 120 days.
I don't do it much, I guess girls don't it much at all.

Good one Stavros, except off course for the fact that Nicotine isn't addictive...and that actually IS scientifically proven. Addiction to sigaretes is all in your head. Same to coffee or Red Bull, Cafeine isn't addictive, as some people still think. Even hard drugs like XTC, LSD, or SPEED are not addictive because off there chemicals. (I know, trust me.)

I wouldn't know about heroine or cocaine or that shit, but if there are chemicals that make them addictive...then that is only the half of it. Half the addiction is always between your ears.

I LOVE YOU STAVROS! you know, in a, you just kicked his ignorant ass kind of way.

Exactly! but does that make them an addict if they masturbate so much?

The thing you have to keep in mind about psychological addictions is that there is so much more to them then simple reasons such as "it feels good". Psychological addictions, unlike physiological addictions, have a base deeper then that. It usually leads to some sort of unresolved issue in the person, rather than the act itself.

Look, You're not even using logic anymore.

there are two main types of addiction, Physiological and Psychological. THEY ARE VERY DIFFERENT.

Drugs are not addictive because they feel good. People take drugs because they feel good. The majority become PHYSIOLOGICALLY addictive, becuase they've often replaced or changed some neurotransmitter that the body needs and there fore the body has an actual demand for it. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FEELING IT CREATES.

Now, Psychological addiction is usually deeper. For example, nothing in Marijaunna is addictive. People who claim to be addicted either are liard, or they have a deeper issue. Perhaps their life is absolute crap, or they are so anxious about life that they find their only escape is through drugs. After a while, a person can be psychologically conditioned to feel the need for the drug.

However, you need to have some serious stuff wrong with you before something like constant masturbation becomes the only way you can cope with an issue.

This is why trying to tell me that masturbating is psychologically addicting is a joke. masturbation isn't the cause of the addiction.

These may not be physically addictive, but they are psychologically.

And that's often harder to break.

Lol, you missed my second post, CAB... he was the one getting pwn'd.

Hate to argue with you, since I don't know first hand but. . .

Tobacco use kills nearly half a million Americans each year, with one in every six U.S. deaths the result of smoking. Smoking harms nearly every organ of the body, causing many diseases and compromising smokers’ health in general. Nicotine, a component of tobacco, is the primary reason that tobacco is addictive, although cigarette smoke contains many other dangerous chemicals, including tar, carbon monoxide, acetaldehyde, nitrosamines, and more.

Psychlogically is like I said, because it gives a feeling of happiness. Not because of the chemicals, that was the only point I wanted to make.

Edit: Again, Stavros, it is not addictive. Some people can quit in one day just because they want to. It was believed that the body got used to Nicotine if you got addicted, and that that was the reason why it is so hard to get off of it. But nothing is less true, as your body does not get used or adicted to nicotine.
