Management of Sex Drive 1

I have not met anyone who feels victorious after they have masturbated. Many say they feel ashamed, empty, and lonely when it’s all over. Some may say, "It's not a big deal," but habitually masturbating certainly hasn't led them into greater freedom. (And isn't that what we're all looking for -- freedom, joy, hope, and, well, abundant life?) Many find that the more they do it, the more heightened their sex drive becomes. This makes sense because

When you feed your appetite, it grows.

If you’re trying to calm your sex drive down by masturbating, you’re really not helping yourself. Here’s the deal -- a couple things happen when you are aroused and/or climax: your body gets flooded with hormones that cause an intense rush of pleasure (endorphins) as well as bond us to the activity, material, faces, fantasies, etc., that we expose ourselves to while masturbating (oxytocin, vasopressin). The combination of these hormones cause us to feel attached to the experience and drive us to repeat the activity—over and over and over—again. That’s the last thing you want if you’re trying to calm down and manage your sex drive.
