Some premature ejaculation problems may be caused when masturbation trains one to reach climax quickly. But this is not a permanent condition. ---

> [@TruthPal](#): > > This is not your imagination. I have been following my feelings regarding masturbation for over 30 years. I’d masturbate day and night if I could however it affects my eyes with pressure so bad that it’s hard to even look at anybody. Have you seen a doctor about this? It sounds like a blood pressure problem or something similar. In my experience, considering the _counts on my fingers_ MANY MANY times I have jacked off, I’ve never had an issue with eye pain or pressure. ---

> [@TruthPal](#): > > Perhaps you’re lucky. masturbation affects my eyes and leaves pressure on my eyes, so bad even I can’t see straight. I have no guilt about masturbating, in fact I’d do it day and night if I could but it affects me destructively. You might want to get yourself checked out for glaucoma. But wash your hands before you fill out the intake sheet in the ophthalomogist’s office. > [@Acsenray](#): > > Some premature ejaculation problems may be caused when masturbation trains one to reach climax quickly. But this is not a permanent condition. I actually have the opposite problem. I often have trouble finishing during oral or PIV sex, which I think is due to my… technique. ---

In my experience, considering the _counts on my fingers_ MANY MANY times I have jacked off, I’ve never had an issue with eye pain or pressure. Yeah, if I experienced those types of symptoms, I would discuss it with a health professional. That’s certainly not usual. ---
