A interesting story I found on Reddit that I wanted to share

[Friotler7]

It could be lying, because that's internet, but, either way, it shows what passes through someone's mind.

Ever since I was 11 or so I was plagued by an intense libido. From age 11 to age 18 I was masturbating 5 times a day. Back then I thought it was just a temporary thing and that after I finished puberty I would adapt to my hormone levels and my sex drive would lower to a more manageable level. Throughout my university years, my sex drive remained just as high. I still kept thinking that in a few years time, my sex drive would drop off and I just needed to wait a little longer. When I turned 25 and there was no significant decline in my sex drive I knew I had to do something. Before I go on though, I should probably emphasize just how much my insanely high libido was affecting my life. When I was in middle school and high school, going the school day without masturbating was a feat of heroic difficulty and many days I caved and masturbated in the bathroom stall. Regardless, the first thing I did when I got home was masturbate, which I would do no less than two more times before (quite often more) I went to bed. I always masturbated first thing when I woke up as well. My sex drive and the required masturbation that went along with it completely controlled my life. When I got my first "real job" after I got my degree, I only had a 45 minute lunch break. I lived half an hour away from where I worked so there was no way I would have been able to drive home, masturbate, and get back to work on time. So what I did was I ran out of the building, got in my car, drove into the parking lot of an abandoned store that was 15 minutes away, masturbate, and go back to work. This left no time for me to actually eat lunch, other than maybe scarf down some packaged food that I had ready in my car. There were major decisions that I made in my life that I made in order to maximize my opportunities to masturbate. The main reason I didn't do any extracurricular activities in high school was because I needed to get home ASAP and masturbate. I thought about joining the military but one of the reason I opted not to was fear of lack of opportunities to masturbate, especially in boot camp. One of the reasons I dropped out of the first university I attended was so I could go to a university close enough to where I could live at home (where I would have more opportunities to masturbate) and commute to class. I know it sounds like I'm exaggerating but I'm being as honest as I can. I really didn't get much pleasure out of masturbation due to doing it some much and being circumcised. It was more of a relief thing, something I needed to do to return to a short lived sanity. I was pretty much like a drug addict. Getting to the point, I decided the only rational thing to do would be to get castrated. I found a surgeon on the internet in Thailand, paid less than $3000 and got both of testicles surgically removed. The surgery most certainly worked in the sense that it lowered my sex drive astronomically. My sex drive went from a 100 to a 2. Interestingly, my nonsexual romantic desire for women also plummeted, going from a 100 to about a 10. Before, I always masturbated right before bed and imagined myself snuggling with a girl after, now I almost never masturbate before bed and instead of fantasizing about having a girl with me, most of the time my mind is just filled with random thoughts. Other changes include feeling far less anger, complete loss of most fetishes, finding a much smaller pool of women physically attractive and a change in the type of woman I had a preference for. I also have a lot less motivation and energy in general. In terms of physical changes I have a lot less body hair, my facial hair growth slowed down (though not nearly as much as my body hair growth did) and I have a lot less muscle mass. So AMA.

I can relate to quite a bit of that, i had rubbed things raw on many occasions and still felt compelled to do the act, with does of shame after.

Never at school that i can remember, but many times in the car (even while driving), church bathroom, under the blanket on my grandparents couch, etc. It consumed quite a bit of my time - and this was all before the easy access to stimulating images on the web.

Pretty sure my grandparents knew what was going on, but they never called me out on it (but i think thats what accelerated getting my own room).

Doesn't sound to unusual, especially if not doing any hormone replacement. I have also seen reports of people getting themselves fixed because of feeling like they had to much of an addiction to masturbation / porn, etc...

So no way to tell how true this guy's story is, but nothing in it jumped out at me as BS for whatever it's worth.

Glad those days are done, and wish i would have gone down this route sooner.
