Can masturbation slow down fat loss ?

[jamesbondc]

Mods please don't delete it I am not a troll but just curious. Since male body produces testosterone and estrogen can masterbating every other night slow down the fat loss? Can the estrogen increase and make my body hold on to the fat? Also, can it increase cortisol? Thanks.

I guess it would depend on your heartrate during? Lol

I would say that with proper nutrition, it wouldnt really have an effect one way or another, but I am not expert.

[readytogetfit]

i hope not.

[TheKansan]

No.

[Opies]

No.

[older2533]

Yes.


If you also eat a pizza at the same time.

[manners1]

is it true that sperm is protein? i always hear guys saying its good for the hair cose its protein.. i dont know.. i think there lying to me.

[jamesbondc]

Yes.

I eat my clean diet but I like to relieve the stress every other night since I don't have girlfriend. I was just wondering if it could be slowing down the fat loss.

since most teenage boys choke the chicken numerous times a day and they're usually pretty thin my conclusion is it probably helps with fatloss

[king6083]

Damn.. wait til mothers hear about this. "It'll make you go blind and fat!"

^^ this.

yea. i read about this late last year some time. if you're concerned about the affects of masterbation on testosterone &/or estrogen, then you're taking bodybuilding too far.

who the hell would give up masterbating for a slight advantage?! o__O

...actually, many on this site would. nevermind. =P

[Tommy W.]

This kid got busted my his mom for spankin' Frank and she said:

Stop that!!! you'll go blind!!

and the kid said:

Awwww mom cant I just do it till i need glasses?

Sperm has like, 5-7 calories per average male ejaculation. And most of it is sugar.

I dunno, I bet quite a few people on this site use bodybuilding to help pick up chicks. :P

Anyway, OP, I've always heard that masturbation on off days can help with recovery. I'm not positive though.

Definitely won't make a difference when it comes to fat loss . . .

HOWEVER, it is well known that boxers will go months without "relieving" themselves before a big fight. The theory is that it keeps testosterone levels high, which helps increase the intensity of their workouts, and their ability to fight.

At 188, 5'5, I doubt masturbation is slowing your progress. Get the basics down, save all the tricks until you're almost done and need to clear plateaus and hurdles.

Good answer... The boxer anecdote is accurate, but is probably as much placebo as anything. There are several hormone levels that change after ejaculation, but our bodies are pretty efficient are balancing them back out.

Sexual intercourse would play a larger role in repairing muscle than masturbating based on duration and intensity (in most normal cases) and there's some evidence that it might restrict muscle development on a very very small scale and it's not proven.

If in fact that the minor, brief hormonal changes actually did hinder fat loss on even the smallest of scales, the calories burned would completely negate it.

Burp that worm silly, big guy...

I'd have to agree, even if it did cause a dip in test levels I can't imagine it would be anything but a miniscule difference. On a side note, I never have sex (yes that's right, there are actually women that do those things you watch on the computer) for 5-10 hours before working out. It's nothing to do with hormone levels, just a motivation thing. I find being 'excited' makes you want to work harder. Whereas you are more lethargic after sex. Interestingly there's a manswers episode (Spike TV anyone?) that discusses this idea.... they seem to come to a different conclusion but I think in the short term it still does have some effect: watch for yourself... maybe this might answer some of your questions. It won't let me post links because I don't have a 30 count but just go to youtube and search Manswers sex before the big game.

[jestdoit86]

Ironically, just after posting a response to this i noticed the most recent article under mind on bb.com deals with basically all of this. It's called maintaining a healthy sex life or something. Again, I would post the direct link but....... damn the rules.

[glen666]

If anything it would speed it up, loss of body fluids, sweating water weight.

I would suggest using both hands so your forearm muscles dont become uneven

[iPerfectDark]

I don't know man, but it helps build muscle... my right arm is MASSIVE!

[dev3l]

Give yourself the stranger... sit on your hand till its numb, then masturbate.

[iPerfectDark]

I'll give you 50 bucks for you to give me the stranger.

[ScottyDougan]

yes.

ahahhahaha.

[ramsesthe2]

lulz, thread of the year

[roland365]

That has nothing to do with losing body fat. Weight, yes... Fat, No.

read somewhere that getting "straightened out" every other morning can raise natty Test a bit. said to do it in the morning rather than night coz at night the estro was high , might have just been bro-science though ,'-)

[ctulloch]

On the show sports science (like mythbusters kinda but about sports science), they did a segment about sex before playing football or doing something athletic. The myth was basically that if you had sex it'd hinder your performance. They showed it wasn't true and they even said that after sex, your testosterone will rise a bit. After that, I always jerk off before going and lifting.

Will help reduce cortisol and stress (which go hand in hand) and no it wont slow down fat loss unless like someone said you are eating pizza at the same time..

There is only one solution, doing it in the morning and at night. Better safe than sorry.
