And, I cannot help it. A mix of anxiety and OCD makes me prone to worrying about every little fine detail until proven otherwise.
MemberThere are sometimes connections between t and jaw problems - TMJ:

There will be lots of threads on this site about it too. Might be worth looking into?
Edit... just seen your other thread so you are aware of this.

MemberSince it is obvious from your postings that you have no intention whatsoever of giving up something that has become such a vital part of your existence, what difference does it make?
I do. I do not know how you were able infer that from my posts, but I am willing to try everything to rid myself of this curse. I have not masturbated in three days. It is hard, but I am hoping something will change.
I am very scared and very worried about this. I want it to go away and trying every outlet that can be a cause is hope for me.

I'd say that if you literally can't stop masturbating for, like, a week, then you probably have more serious problems than tinnitus. And I say this as someone who has spanked a lot of monkeys in my day.
I'm not nearly so dismissive. I'd say, go do some research into how the serotonin and dopamine transport systems and HP axis are thought to be involved in tinnitus signal propagation, and also take a look at how orgasm affects those same systems... these are very interesting topics.
I can stop. It is very easy. I have been abstaining for three days now. The only problem is: is this even a plausible situation? I was just reading something on the Internet that claimed this. I am going to believe it to be true until I have the two - four weeks are up. (Yes, this is ignorance, but it gives me hope, so I do not care).

I'd say that if you stop jerking off and your ringing stops, and then you start it again and your ringing comes back, then you have your answer and you don't need to worry at all about what other people think...
I am SO tempted to address that last sentence ...
Anyway, if your tinnitus has not appreciably improved now that you have stopped masturbating for three days, then in my opinion the chance that it will appreciably improve if you stop for three months is miniscule.
You may be looking at this all wrong. Have you had a complete ENT evaluation? If so, then perhaps it's time to take a serious look at how a sound (yes, tinnitus is a sound) can make you so scared and so worried. Maybe CBT would be a good option for you in that regard.
Do you think that's why you do that? Like how some people obsessively wash their hands, you obsessively spank it? Because if you're sexually exhausted then wouldn't that make it so you don't have the desire to?
No. I know the difference between natural desires and obsessive desires.
I am having a hard time thinking about how to explain this. But, I am not obsessed with masturbation. It is pleasure and I like pleasure, just as I like drinking Dr.Pepper. Nothing out of the ordinary.

What gives you the impression that we're not taking you seriously?...
Don't think that just because we inject a little humor into the thread. Here's a joke from the female side of the subject:
Q: How does a woman know that she's had a really great orgasm?
A: When it wakes her husband up.

LOLOLOL! Well, I have realized that masturbation is a not the cause and it is more than likely a made up concept. TMJ is my cause.

Well there you go... Now you can really go at it without fear.
At least not everyone has to give up their favorite things in life because of T.
I strangely just came across a website while researching that talks about symptoms caused by lack of zinc. And it lists drinking, stress and the M word as causes for zinc loss.
