Masturbation Does Work!

[NightmareOnElmStreet]

i'v finally found my lucid aid! This is what I do: before I go to sleep, I masturbate first. After that I take 3-6mg of Melatonin. Wait about 10-20 minutes before I fall asleep, and lucid away baby.

[Keeper]

I thought that it hinders Lucid dreams?

[NightmareOnElmStreet]

What does hinder mean? lol oh nvm. yea I think it does also since I had no progress with just masturbation and lucidity, but maybe the melatonin has something to do with it? I just know it gets my blood flowing and makes me sleepy at the same time, taking 3-6mg of melatonin after and waiting 10-20 minutes before sleeping calms me down a bit and makes me even more tired ready for bed. I tried to do a WILD at 5 in the morning but was way too tired and just fell back to sleep. But it still works. For me anyway.

but maybe the melatonin has something to do with it? [/b] Uhhh duh... no offense but I think it's mainly the melatonin that is helping you....

[Descensus]

Uhhh duh... no offense but I think it's mainly the melatonin that is helping you.... [/b] Well at least he's getting a two-fer!

[NightmareOnElmStreet]

Uhhh duh... no offense but I think it's mainly the melatonin that is helping you.... [/b] Uhh Duh...if thats true then why when i JUST take melatonin it doesnt work? sure my dreams are more vivid but no help with the lucidity trust me iv tried almost everything and yea blueline, cant go wrong with that! lol

[slothming]

Wait so in conclusion Masturbation doesnt help?

[wasup]

Uhh Duh...if thats true then why when i JUST take melatonin it doesnt work? sure my dreams are more vivid but no help with the lucidity trust me iv tried almost everything and yea blueline, cant go wrong with that! lol [/b] uhh duh placebo...

[SKA]

uhh duh placebo... [/b] Well Then you clearlly underestimate the power of Placebo And besides: Melatonin is a Precursor of Serotonin: the hormone that makes you ''happy'' and fit and wakefull. When I take Melatonin late at night I wake up all groggy and lifeless, when I take it earlier in the evening I wake up feeling more energetic, happier and more well rested. So maybe it depends on the Time you allow your Brain to convert Melatonin into Serotonin. Masturbating, or Sexual tention without even an orgasm helps your Blood flow faster and process the Melatonin faster too. Maybe this is the reason why Serotonin is more quickly secreted from the Brain's Pineal Gland than usual. During REM-sleep. I can imagine how this, in turn, can lead to Clearer and Lucid Dreams, allthough this is just a Speculation. And if Masturbation turns out to have nothing to do with it it will still be great fun before a sweet sweet sleep

cant argue with that ... yet

[Burns]

heh, guys find any excuse...

[3FLryan]

cant argue with that ... yet [/b] Meaning anyone who does masturbate is going to hell?

[deathly_hallow]

It does work. When I masturbate and think about lding, I have an ld but when I just do it without thinking of lding, i usually dont.

[:D]

Ugh, I should stop masturbating before I go to sleep now, shouldn't I? I take melatonin frequently and yes, it does wonders. I ran outta B6 a while back. I don't suggest taking it everyday though.

[sloth]

I masturbate every night anyway.

[FluBB]

I masturbate every night anyway. [/b] lol um... my guess is that its just mainly placebo, nothing wrong with it from i can see. just find something that works and use it over and over and over and over.

[wasup]

Well Then you clearlly underestimate the power of Placebo [/b] What are you talking about? I never "underestimated," "overestimated," or even "estimated," the power of the placebo. I simply said that the effect WAS placebo. In no way did I judge the placebo as being good or bad, relative to its actual condition of being good or bad. kthx

If it was masturbation every boy at the age of 12-18 would have good dream recal. Case close.

[Identity X]

Becomingagodo has the right idea. I don't think masturbation has anything to do with dream recall or lucidity, perhaps it aids sleep though (there was a discussion on this not long ago).

[King and God]

Ejaculating makes one relaxed, causing it to be easier falling asleep fast, which might makes LDing easier if WILDing. But I don't think there's any change in recall or the clearness of the dreams - not from what I have noticed anyway.

[hellopotato]

kills my dream recall

[DriftingLeaves]

Yeah, I"m gonna agree with you on that one. A placebo works only if they believe it will work. Now, telling him it won't isn't going to help. If it works for him, fine, but that doesn't mean we have to tell him it doesn't Masturbation is awesome, even if it doesn't help with LDs, it sure as hell makes you feel good.

[NightmareOnElmStreet]

damn right if it works for me ill keep doing it if it doesn't for you then your loss and im not just saying masturbation here...dont forget the melatonin afterwards.

[Torcher]

Quick idea. Maybe sex in dreams hinders LDs, thus having a wank before you sleep might curb the sexual biology a bit, thereby facilitating the increased possibility of achieving an LD. I know that humping always kills my LDs.

[regetsref]

Well if youre gonna be rubbing one out everytnight dont forget to switch arms every day. Ive found masturbation to help me sleep but never noticed any effect on my recall.
