Help, can we masturbate after tooth extraction?

Hi everyone! I just had 3 tooth extracted last friday and despite following all guidelines left by the students at the dentistry school I go, I contracted a nasty infection. I can handle the pain, am on painkillers (still feel A LOT of pain but I'm a warrior, this trial is a war and I will win in the end) and that's not what's troubling me. The pretty dentist students advises me not to do intense stuff for a while so my blood pressure doesn't disloge the blood clots in my mouth and I end up with dry sockets. 3 days in, I'm still fine! I'm in a lot of pain but went to the dentistry school this afternoon and was told about the infection so no dry socket. But what's troubling me is that I have desires, I have needs and I haven't masturbated in 4 days. I heard to wait a couple days but with the infection, it's gonna take a week longer so I was wondering : can I masturbate or it will threathen my blood clots? Because If I speak by experience, when I go over a week without masturbating, I become agitated, can't sleep and it wouldn't be ideal for my dental rehabilitation.

Thanks!

I'm not a doctor, but I'd say gently, slowly...

My goodness, I got a ragin bo*** just from your reply. Hahahaha!! It's kind of embarassing but I don't mind. I'm still not sure if I should do it because I'm a very intense person and everything I do, I do it with energy! lol I'll go watch Stargate SG-1 to cool down a bit. Gotta stop those Ori preachers!

But thanks for your answer, I did not dislike it...

Oh man, Lazarus, you're in a really tough situation. Talk about being in between a rock and a hard place (no pun intended there)!!

Blood pressure does rise with sexual activities, masturbation included. It's how erections happen and eventually the climax. However, going that long without doing so would be murder on me too.

I don't have a clear cut answer for you, I'm afraid, but know that you have my support in this difficult time. Also, you have my hugs.

LIFE IS TOO SHORT, TOO VALUABLE AND TOO PRECIOUS A THING TO WASTE!!

Oh my god, I know you said (no pun intended) but I LOVE that song by The Stones!! It's indeed not easy but so far, not so hard either. I keep myself by watching Stargate SG-1, I play video games, piano and bass softly but no solo yet, it would be too physical.

Yes, as a specie, we are meant to reproduce to ensure our survival so no matter how much I tell myself that this is what's best for my rehabilitation, my primal instinct tell me otherwise.

Thank you Artchic, it's much appreciated. You're very sweet, thank you.

No problem!

I say GO FOR IT! lol

You girls really are tempting me. You're making me horny. lol

But I'll wait a couple more days. I like to challenge my body and spirit, to always become stronger both mentally and physically. You only live once and I want to become the very best version of me that is possible so I'll wait a couple more days!

Link didn't work, sorry to delete

It's okay Tisha, what was your link about, out of curiosity?

Hands off your noodle Willy.

On a serious note, I would have done it without thinking. I'm not a doctor, but I bet most doctors are doing it too.

Get better quickly and enjoy.

Go for it. If something bad happens, it's likely not super serious. Relaxation and stress release may overall lower your BP, anyways. :-)

I would call the dental school tomorrow and say, you need to speak to a MALE dentist-teacher about specific activities so you dont get a dry socket cuz you already have an infection in your three extractions.

Read it exactly as above to everybody who answers the phone until someone says, "okay, what specific activities?" Hopefully youll get a helpful answer. Like put a wet towel in your mouth so you dont bite down on the wounds?.

It was a video clip from Seinfeld "Master of My Domain".

LOLLLL, I remember that episode. It was too funny and does apply to my situation.

Thanks everyone, I'll keep it a secret if I did or not but I feel great today and the infection is slowly but surely, going away. Thanks again!

Snap one off and tell no one. Immediately.
