Your experience from masturbating and bodybuilding?

[KevyKevs]

I know that there are multiple articles and things online talking about whether masturbating affects gains or not but I have been searching for the personal experiences of bodybuilders who also masturbate. To those big guys who do masturbate, do YOU think it affected your gains or not?

It really damages your gains big time

Spoiler!

I mean im no big guy by any means but im a hormone filled teenager stuck at home during a pandemic so as you can imagine ive done my fair share lol.
It affects gains not at all.
If you wanna look at it, it reduces cortisol which could be beneficial lol
