Can't Masturbate too Anxious/Fear

[DavidAkram]

after my panic attack i have been so conscious of my heart and I realise it more now then before. I tried masturbating this one time and well I felt a sharp pain in my heart after climax. After that I have attempted masturbation but I am too scared and anxious and because of that anxiety my heart rate slightly increases before climax or proper masturbation start. I have the urge to masturbation but I cant. PLease help.

I don't think you felt a pain in your heart. You probably felt pain in your chest muscles. The next time you try a 'date with yourself', pay attention to your posture and keep your chest broad and relaxed. See if that helps.

And breathe. It is possible that holding your breath during that pivotal moment is keeping your oxygen from getting to your upper areas. During that time the blood flow that is carrying oxygen is naturally in the desired areas a little further south. Just relax and breathe.

Sorry if this is a bit confusing, trying to keep it as clean as possible for the younger crowd on here.

Thank you it might be But After that i kinda developed a fear lol its weird. I get all anxious and kinda scared when trying to masturbate.. And I realiase that due to that my heart rate does inc slightly before proper masturbation started.

I have been there , its not weird, anxious people usually worry about exercising and this shouldnt be much different , yes it does increase your heart rate , for me it was about my blood pressure, i used to put the monitor beside me when i want to masturbate, but deep breathing always helps, i started to realize i will be ok , and i realized it calms me sometimes from all the other stressors in my life , and i realized anything will get better because anxiety is never 100%constant it lasts a long time but it always gets better , be safe but you will be fine trust me , focus on breathing and maybe try not to overpush it and focus again on your body.

Good luck

Look its very normal, not gonna lie its we have all been there for thise who have health anxiety and panic disorder, for me i had a doctors appojtment who pointed out i stress easily and my bp rises , i know the doctor doesnt know how to deal with anxious people , anyway this caused me terrible anxiety and basically triggered all fears i didnt know i had

That night i was feeling free, home alone so i decided to masturbate

After it i felt extremely panicky, had my first panic attack , my bp hit 150/100 and im just 18 and im skinny and healthy and i dont smoke

But i learned that our bodies are much stronger than we think, and that this is all normal , just remember that you are safe, take deep breaths, and calm your heart rate and know that masturbation will calm you so its ok , as long as you are healthy you will be ok , i cant tell you how many times i panicked because of that so i understand you , but it gets better trust me

Thank You man, I masturabated recently and it was better this time I didn't have the pain, I dont get as anxious and yh however I still slightly worry about my heart when I need full focus on the masturbation but it is improving over time so is my anxiety.
