Basically saying that humans aren't meant to be so many stunning naked women which the internet brings us at high speed this in turn leads to detrimental effects on our brains dopamine levels.

Theres articles stating no fapping has effects of dopamine levels leading to increased: concentration, energy, motivation, confidence, desire for social interactions as well as a reduction in social anxiety, depression and lethargy.

Was the Cowardly Lion Just Masturbating Too Much?

Doesn't your test levels rise up my a 'measureable' % after 7-9 days without wacking off... They go back down to 'normal' soon after but im pretty sure there's a point where they're elevated....
 
There is no long term link between masturbation and low testosterone levels
However it is my belief that watching porn can have a detrimental effect on sexual performance but plenty of people prove that wrong

That study was incredibly poorly designed. There have also been studies that show testosterone falling on Monday morning and rising until sunday again. What if they started the study on a monday and ended it the following monday? lol

Also no control groups and a tiny sample size

I could have produced a larger sample size if requested
 
Don't know about not getting a shot off and your test, shit it makes me cranky though. Once life just conspired against me and I didn't drop a load for a week I was in a savage fuckin mood and got held up at roadworks ended up in a wicked argument with the gang of blokes operating the paving machine, i was losing my shit just behaving like a lunatic trying to fight 5 guys. Got back in the car raced home threw a leg over the boss and all was well with the world.

Its dangerous boys don't leave it too long between milkings does funny things to your brain.

Exerpt from an article by Paul Johnson : Originally written for Bodybuilding.com in 2007

The question on whether ejaculation (or sex) before workouts will effect their strength or muscle gains, is a common question for many bodybuilders.

Athletes of various sports have also have been debating this question for years. Some believe that ejaculation before an athletic event will help their performance, while others believe it should be done after or even abstained completely.

In this article I will discuss the hormonal effects of ejaculation on the body and when (or if) it should be avoided

Effects on testosterone during sexual arousal and ejaculation:

Testosterone levels have been found in research to rise in humans after sexual stimuli (such as sexually explicit pictures). One study like this was published in New Scientist 22 Aug 98 11, done by Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Urban Ethology in Vienna. 10 men and 10 women viewed a 15 minute pornographic film. Men’s testosterone levels increased 100 percent afterwards, while women’s was a staggering and surprising, 80 percent.

Another study published by Psychoneuroendocrinology. 1993;18(3):205-18 used sexually arousing films on 9 males. LH levels (stimulates testosterone production) and testosterone levels increased within 10 minutes of sexually arousal. Other studies have also shown, other types of stimuli may also increase testosterone levels and agression, such as holding a gun.

Studies dealing with testosterone levels and it’s effects during sexual acts and ejaculation, seem to be mostly done on animals.

One study done on rats by the Instituto de Neuroetologia, Universidad Veracruzana, Xalapa, Ver., Mexico showed that after 2 ejaculations there was a steep rise in serum testosterone and remained higher even after 4 ejaculations in a row.

Another study was done on stallions and mating by the Dipartimento di Scienze Cliniche Veterinarie, Sez. Clinica Ostetrica e Ginecologica Veterinaria. They found that testosterone levels rose 10 minutes after mating and then again 30 minutes into it. Cortisol levels also increased during the mating.

A study by Department of Pharmacobiology, Centro de Investigación y Estudios Avanzados was done on rats to measure sexual satiety and androgen receptors. The rats were measured after a sexual encounter.

They measured the testosterone levels afterwards and found no change.

They also measured a drop in angrodren receptor density, in the MPOA-medial part of the brain. This receptor density returned 72 hours later. It appears from this study, the lack of sexual desire post ejaculation, may have been from changes in the brain, not from any notable changes in testosterone levels.

A study by the Department of Reproductive Biology, Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana-Iztapalapa found that testosterone levels stayed the same or rose, after various types of sexual encounters in male rats.

The more experienced rats had a large increase in testosterone post-ejaculation, which remained even 24 hours afterwards. The sexually inexperienced rats however, had little change in testosterone post sexual encounter. This study suggests that sexual experience and execution, may play a role in the rise of testosterone.

Long term testosterone levels from abstaining ejaculation:

The only study I could find measuring testosterone levels of men who didn’t ejaculate for extended periods of time, was research done by chinese researchers, J Zhejiang Univ Sci. 2003 Mar-Apr;4(2):236-40. The study was done on 28 men who were told to not ejaculate for an entire week. It was found that for first 6 days testosterone levels did not change. However, on the 7th day of abstaining, testosterone levels jumped up by nearly 50%. But they declined rapidly after that day, therefore abstaining from ejaculation had no long term effect on testosterone levels at all.

Summary:

What do these studies on animals and humans tell us about the relationship between testosterone and sexual activity?

Many people have always assumed that after sexual activity, males experience a drop in testosterone levels. There is no research we could find that points to a significant drop in testosterone post-ejaculation.

In fact research tells us that the opposite seems to be true. Men will have significant jumps in testosterone levels from sexually arousing stimuli (and certain other types of stimuli). The research also suggests that sexual encounters and ejaculation, will not effect and may actually increase, testosterone blood levels.

Viewing sexually arousing material, without ejaculating, before working out should be beneficial for improving workouts. Ejaculating before working out, would probably not be ideal, since ejaculation also releases endorphins(pain killing) natural hormones in the body. This would in turn effect your strength and energy before your workout.

The chinese study also suggests that abstaining from ejaculation will not increase your testosterone levels long term and hence, not improve your bodybuilding, strength or muscle gains.


Recent studies are also showing a significant drop in prostate cancer risk, for men who ejaculate more frequently. According to current research, ejaculation (or sex) is not going to lower your testosterone levels, in either the short term or long term. Therefore there is no direct benefit from abstaining either.
 
There's two types of people in this world. Those that fap at least once a week and dirty fucking lairs.
