Re: Observations: Deep-Orgasm Masturbation bad for MS?

Interesting, at the least. From what I understand, it's well-documented that

women with MS generally feel great during pregnancy, then are susceptible to an

attack in the post-partum months. This also indicates a hormonal component to

the disease. One woman recently posted on the BBD group that she has not had a

problem post-partum thanks to exclusive breastfeeding. Makes perfect sense,

since it helps to regulate hormones as well.

I will have to ponder this, but my first thought is that like many other things

(food allergies, stress, environmental toxins, etc), sexual repression is

probably more of a " contributing factor " in the disease process rather than a

major causal factor, you know? For example, I would attribute the low rates of

MS in Africa to Vitamin D levels more than sexual satisfaction, but that doesn't

mean it's not a factor.

I'm sorry everyone. I did not approve this post, and I'm not sure how it got

through. I will make sure the poster is on Moderated because I'm pretty sure

this was meant as a bad joke.

Yvette,

That's what I thought at first, but it's actually a well thought-out post and

makes an interesting point. I can't imagine posting something so personal

myself, so being thought of as a bad joke must be insanely embarrassing.

There is something to this link..

1.

As we know from the research on LDN, LDN enhances the production of morphium in

the brain. This leads - at the end of a long chain of hormones - to an increase

in Cortisol, which stops inflamation and hence all exacerbations.

2. All states of ecstacy ( runners high, drugs, meditation AND orgasms) also

naturally increase the production of morphium in the brain.

I am convinced there is a link also. After alot of research into sex and the

hormones

that are released in response to it, the hormone I think is the link to ms

are endorphins.

There isn't very much info out there on endorphins in general beyond what is

commonly

known about them in regards to pain control, but from what I have dug up

they also

relieve stress and are comforting. Anyway, the key point here is that there

is alot of

research coming out between the link to endorphins and the immune system.

I am not sure if you are on LDN, but many ms'ers are. LDN increases

endorphin

levels which then modulates the immune system and thus helps MS.

So if you are causing large swings in your endorphin levels due to your

techniques

then it would make sense that your immune system is also undergoing large

swings

and thus aggravating your MS.
