Hey! I wanted your guys opinion on this. i went for 2 days this week in a row without m*. on the third day i had so much pain in that area i couldnt walk so i resorted to m*.  what do you guys think about, as a start in the recovery process, that its ok to mast* when im in a lot of physical pain in that area? am i going to get anywhere with that? or is the yetzer hora just fooling me? am i just supposed to endure the pain until it goes away by itself?

Don't take this in the wrong way but I would see a doctor. It is not normal to have such pain...

and for it to go away through m@$tu^%@t*ng....

In my experience, it is totally normal for some people, and it depends upon where their mind and heart is.

Where "that area" gets ready for "action", and gets none...  Some people tend to suffer unbearable pain.  It generally gets ready for action due to non-physical stimulation (but could be physical), which can be conscious or unconscious.

Keeping a clean heart, mind and body can help immensely.  "Feeding" it can make things difficult in the long run.

still ,though it could be a normal reaction, if the pain is as intense as you describe,check it out by a doctor or urologist and try to go to a frum one who may have good advice on the matter

Have things changed since you last posted?

PS Wearing briefs and not boxers can help with the walking, depending on your anatomy.  Really.

no, things have not changed

Did you try any of the suggestions from before?

I agree that it is normal to have this condition (epididymal hypertension) occasionally after prolonged and unsatisfied  arousal but this should not be happening on a daily basis. It doesn't hurt to check but as other people suggested (and I didn't think of it before) you should probably try to see a frum doctor (if possible).

Hatzlocha!

I have had it a couple of times in my first year of sobriety and I know by personal experience that it just goes away on it's own. And without masturbating yourself, of course. Plenty men have no sex with themselves (what you call masturbation) nor with their wives for years - or are not married at all and are sober for years - and they do not blow up, die, or whatever. It goes away.

In addition, taking one or two Motrins really helped a friend of mine who had it last week.  I never neeeded that, for I waited a few days and it went away and didn't come back for months. I did the same thing and it went away again.

If you have a lust problem, I suggest that you have far bigger fish to fry than blue balls.

Hatzlocha.

Hey guys. I had that pain again but this time, for the first time I fought it and it went away the next day. Thanks for all the support!

Have a great Shabbos.
Hatzlacha in all things GOOD.
