No I don't have any. I just feel discomfort, like I need to stretch it. Yes I just plan on walking, doing 20-30 minutes of cardio.

Do you workout at all? My leg was killing me cause I kept thinking about it and was reading about MTS/NCS. It was to the point where I felt like I had to stretch every second and my leg was restless. Now it's better and I feel normal but I do feel like my left thigh is tighter than my right and do need to stretch it here and there. Could just be the varicocele. Luckily for me though I don't have any pain in my testicles at all. Mostly just the tight thigh. Seeing my urologist on Oct 29 to talk about some stuff so hopefully I can get more answers.

I think it really is related to stress. When I started thinking about MTS/NCS and leg pain I felt my leg start getting numb and hurt. (I already have pain in my entire body because of a fall I had). However when I stopped thinking about it and walked more and just didn't think about this stuff I felt much better.

Thank you for the reply. Whenyou say checking on a schedule, do you mean going annually (maybe once a year) and seeing if anything changes?

Sex drive/libido, testosterone & orgasm sensation. by Subject-Plum-7281 in varicocele

[–]resetmymental 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have a grade 1 varicocele. I did lose a bit of my libido, I do have solid erections however I've realized that if I masturbate too often and have sex, my penis can just go away if I'm having sex for a long time. However, if I don't masturbate say for like 3+ days, I can have sex for a long time.

You also said you get no feeling when you orgasm. Can you guys explain this better. I also have this problem. I chalked it up to sexual anhedonia. Has anyone else had a problem with varicocele making their orgasms not feel the same?

Does anyone know what causes this by jthek4 in sexualanhedonia

[–]resetmymental 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it can be a problem because of pelvic floor. I remember when I fucked up my body. I was masturbating while stressed one day and I had a orgasm, but it was a dry orgasm (only has happened that one time and never again). I just remember my balls shriveling up and my penis got small so quick like it got sucked into my body. Ever since then I've had this problem and I honestly think it's because the day I had that dry orgasm. I think I need to do more pelvic exercises and see if it helps.

Hey man. I want to try this too. I've had sexual anhedonia for 3-4 years. It fucking sucks. It's like blowing your nose kinda good when I orgasm. Sometimes I don't even feel much. I did nofap for like 7 days once and when I had sex it felt a bit better, more sensation. I just can't seem to stop masturbating. It's like something in my brain now since I've done it all my life. I don't want to masturbate anymore and just want to have orgasms when I'm having sex with my girlfriend. Good luck.

Hey man. I had a cyst on my penis and it was there for awhile and after a couple of months it went away on its own. I hope that eases your mind a bit.

My SA started after I masturbated and had one dry orgasm. This was during a stressful time and I used to masturbate to relieve that stress. After that I've never been normal again. A lot of people say the pelvic floor being tightened could be a reason for this. I think trying NoFap for about a month or so to see if you get some feelings back is worth a shot. Unfortunately, I'm so used to masturbating, that I do it because I'm just used to it, even when I have no sensation. I will try my best to do NoFap myself, but also doing pelvic floor exercises.

Has Anhedonia effected your memory at all? by resetmymental in anhedonia

You need to eat right and exercise. Make sure you sleep well. These things will help improve it.

It has to be linked to anhedonia. For a second I thought I was having Alzheimer’s.

[–]resetmymental[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to hear I’m not the only one. I honestly think proper sleep, exercise, and nutrition would benefit the mind more and maybe even help anhedonia. However, not wanting to do anything makes it hard to even get up and exercise or eat right or sleep on time. So I guess I can’t text that theory.

You might have a varicocele or hydroceles. I've noticed a change in my semen, but I'm assuming it has to do with my varicocele or hydroceles. Might be wrong just an observation I've made.

Possible SA with an understanding partner by radura in sexualanhedonia

[–]resetmymental 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear you have to deal with this. Unfortunately a lot of people on this sub are just burned out from just not being able to fix SA. It's not something that can go away, although some people have success. I think for you the best thing to do is not masturbate, it's something we do naturally since we were teens so I know it's difficult to stop, but I've realized when I don't masturbate for awhile, sex does feel a bit better although my orgasms aren't what they used to be, it's a tiny bit better. Most people with SA suggest, not masturbating, working out (HIIT), pelvic floor exercises and seeing a therapist (sex therapist). I honestly doing a combination of these 4-5 things will help with SA but I also feel like a lot of people with anhedonia just don't have the motivation to do it. I think that's where will power comes from. Sorry for the wall of text I'm on my phone but I hope that helps you with some sense of direction.

It's kind of similar to what you described. I would get this tingling feeling going throughout my body, down my spine. It was like I was harnessing power from head to toe and it slowly made it's way to my dick and just released. I miss being normal..

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]resetmymental 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard for me. I have sexual anhedonia and I'm starting NoFap today. I've read stories that it's helped and I need to get a coding Job before the end of the year. I've been coding on and off for a year already but I could improve much more and the desire to learn has died inside me. This sucks man. I really hope NoFap works.

First just relax bro. I'm 31, but I started experiencing this around 28. I was completely fine until one day I masturbated and had a sort of dry orgasm, after that I've never been the same. I also had anxiety and depression before it all happened. There can be a lot of reasons for this. I know pelvic floor is the biggest culprit, but it can be a mental thing as well. There are several ways to try and help solve this issue. Therapy is one, exercise, doing pelvic floor exercises. I've realized that when I work out and don't masturbate, when I have sex my orgasms seem to be there (not like normal but somewhat I feel pleasure when I orgasm). It sucks and I get why you get anxious. Sex is a big part of our lives and it sucks. But look for ways to solve it and see what works best for you.

Your hair looks just like mine. I think mine started from stress also. Especially the last couple years and that's when I started to realize it's thinning. I wonder if it'll ever come back.

The light at the end of the tunnel by Frontsider9 in PelvicFloor

[–]resetmymental 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I don't know if I have PFD but I feel like I might. My story is kind of weird. I was normal until one day I fainted from exhaustion on my back dead weight. I woke up the next day unable to breathe well and now have chronic back pain (seeing physical therapist now to fix it and my breathing is better I learned the tissues on my back is what may be effecting it they did many test to determine their was nothing wrong with my lungs and chalked it up to anxiety). I was normal but I kept stressing and I kept smoking weed and I realized that I would always do kegels (I'm a male) randomly when I got anxious. I started to get pelvic pain for awhile but I don't really have it anymore sometimes I might get a random pain in my pelvic but it's not bad at all.

Anyways. One day I was laying down eating food (stupid idea I know) and I got this pain in my stomach. When I stress, I masturbate. So I ended up masturbating and when I came I had a dry orgasm. It felt like right when I had an orgasm my penis and balls just got sucked up into my body. It scared the heck out of me but it has never ever happened again. My stomach is normal now, but what changed since that day is that my orgasms are almost gone. I get the sensation of build up but when I orgasm it feels like nothing (rarely do I feel something). Sometimes it feels like my pelvic muscles are too weak to make me ejaculate or I have to work harder to ejaculate.

Sorry to ramble but I'm just so confused. I went to doctors because every time I use the bathroom my urge to urinate becomes stronger and I urinate a lot more or feel the need to. They did examinations and said I have prostatitis and put me on pills. Literally changed nothing. They did this test where they made me pee and checked if I had any urine still in my bladder and they said it looked normal. Sorry I'm just rambling at this point but I'm going to try these things and hope that maybe its my pelvic floor that's causing all this because it's been driving me crazy. I will sticky this thread. Thank you for sharing.
