It would be very hard for me to enjoyably masturbate with the affected hand, as nails embedded in my reproductive organ doesnt feel that good.<br />masturbation has the same effect as yawning, scratching an itch, rubbing an eye or pooing, uncontrollable movements and increased spasticity,<br />thats why I thought you wouldnt endorse masturbation, in case of bad spasticity.John Short ad sinorazumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06294518362102475267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174880937451768707.post-12932005116883038042015-03-02T06:22:22.206-08:002015-03-02T06:22:22.206-08:00John, great question.

During the acute phase, however, given the amount of exertion, it may not be the best thing for the brain; the brain is vulnerable during the acute phase. I would however suggest masturbation during the subacute phase with the affected arm/hand to promote recovery. I'll tell you what, if we could somehow bring sex into recovery, people would work TIRELESSLY!Peter G Levinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12585356059363005619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174880937451768707.post-77537140442136225302015-03-02T03:47:05.295-08:002015-03-02T03:47:05.295-08:00So to ask the big question then that nobody has ev...So to ask the big question then that nobody has ever dared to ask before: Is it a bad idea to masturbate during the subacute phase?John Short ad sinorazumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06294518362102475267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174880937451768707.post-31068270218254939732015-03-01T08:09:13.868-08:002015-03-01T08:09:13.868-08:00Dean!
