Episode #181: Is Masturbation Damaging Your Brain? (Part 3 of 7)


Listen Later

You might think masturbation is harmless — maybe even healthy. But your brain tells a different story.

When tied to porn, masturbation hijacks your dopamine, reshapes your reward system, and leaves you feeling anxious, unfocused, and disconnected. Over time, it blocks your ability to experience real intimacy and lasting satisfaction.

The good news? Your brain can heal. With neuroscience-backed strategies, you can rewire those patterns and reclaim clarity, energy, and real satisfaction👇🏻

Using qEEG Brain Mapping, I help you see where your brain has gone off track. Then, through personalized neurofeedback, we target the areas that need regulation and recovery. And with coaching, we walk the path of healing together — step by step, shame-free.

Watch Is Masturbation Damaging Your Brain?⚠️ If you’re in recovery, skip the full Jubilee episode for now. This series breaks it all down safely with science and solutions that give you hope — not setbacks.

Shoutout to Jubilee Media for opening space for this raw discussion, and to LovecommaNectar for helping bring these conversations forward.
