Some of you may already know this, but I have not seen it discussed anywhere in the forum so I figure I will share it.
Years ago when I was studying in the North East U.S. I would get seasonal affective disorder. For those of you who don't know, it is getting depressed in winter because of not enough sun light. So I got a light box and used it for one winter. Now that I think of it, I vaguely remember getting some hard boners during the few weeks I used it.
Anyhow, fast forward 10-15 years.
This freaking winter I was feeling quite down and anxious due to a herniated lumbar disc that happened in November that kept me from working out and a unusually cloudy winter where I don't get any sunlight. After talking to my sister, she told me she still got my light box, so she shipped it to me.
Anyways, been using it for a week now. My mood is definitely better. I still worry about things, but just do not feel anxious when I think about them. Also I was not spiraling into a whirlpool of negative thoughts. But light therapy for depression is pretty well know. The great thing is I started noticing strong morning wood again. And the last 2 nights when I masturbated I had a much stronger ejaculation with a lot more contractions.
After doing a quick search I found
birght light therapy may boost testosterone
I thought this is an awesome discovery. The holy grail of treatment is maximum benefit and minimal side effects. Even if this is a placebo effect, there is virtually nothing bad with light therapy.
