should you have 'off' and 'on' days for masterbation? how many reps for maxium pleasure? jeez, i dont think you should relate the two this seriously, maybe give it a thought for a few seconds like this *mmmmmmmm* then realise, it wont make a massive difference.

[robstas7]

spankin off...hmm i found the best pattern to wack off is once every 2-3 days
cuz then you still got madd testosterone, you still got ur game and you dont have to walk everywhere with wood lol, also your dick looks its awesomest if you follow that pattern

LMFAO.. oh man, thats some good ****

umm i didn't really read any of the posts or the question its self.. but i take jackin off as a job... i never did any research but my logical thoughts figured jackin off would raise testosteron levels.. cause if your more sexually active, you need more testosterone? so i do it atleast every day.. if not twice.. i do it so much i don't even really enjoy it anymore... i mean think about it.. if you tried to jack off like 10 times in one day.. every day.. your testosterone is forced to raise.. or atleast i think.. i could be totally wrong

ok this thread has gone on way too long lol

ok this thread has gone on way too long lol

My sentiments exactly.

everytime you masturbate.......
god kills a panda bear.

Why aren't they all dead then? I mean heck you know how much some guys masturbate?

[NoControl]

Meet a girl with a constant appetite for sex.

You Beat off.... ok you use your arms, your heart rate hardly goes up. You get no cardio workout, and you don't use any strength....

Sex... builds stamina, gets the blood flowing, keeps your girlfriend in shape as well as yourself, is the ideal substitution for cardio, it's a good work out for your whole body, and you feel better all around afterwards....

If it's that time of the month... then MAYBE you have an excuse. But for the people saying they jack off 5 times a day... I can't even believe you have that much free time.... hahaha

[apathy49]

I beat my d*ck like it owes me money

[k1ngcro]

I have gone 4 days strong with out doing it, but just to see if i could go the whole week.

don't worry bro... i just do it between commercial breaks

Strickly honest; sex/masturbation leads (at least for me) at least an hour of downtime before lifting any weight. I do not think it hinders your physical abilities any because i lift the same on days when I "do" and "don't" but mentally I can see it having some effect. Alot of folks whether it be right or not, see women as a boost to their bb workout, it pushes them to work harder when they get a simple smile from them etc.. Call it an Ego issue, but after your done having sex/masturbation your urge for a woman of course is somewhat less than it was pre-sex/masturbation. I suppose this could be simple as just putting on a fast song and getting pumped up again not thinking about women. Of course if you workout for something other than women (hint yourself lol) I doubt it would play a big part in hindering yourself. Overall if you got to just do it, and then figure out a way to pump your mind up again if you need to before working out. I have came to realize that bodybuilding is 50/50 body/mind. If i think i cant lift a certain weight ill never be able to lift it no matter how hard i try.

ok io have sex 1-2 times daily 2 usualy on the weekends. has not hindered any growth also i find that if i dont have sex 3 hrs before i work out im tired and i have no energy!! which is weird!!

[ferrethouse]

Personally, i feel like i have more energy when i dont masturbate.
Masturbation/sex burns calories, and it seems like your "laid back" and "relaxed" after u do it too.

Yeah, but I sleep better afterward so I have more energy the next day.

[Confucius Taoka]

It's tough sometimes resisting to jerk off but it pays off in the social scene.

Maybe I'm stupid or something, but explain this? I keep hearing something like this.

[WhiteSnake]

Jacking off might lower the free test circulating in your body a little for a small period of time, but the day after or so your test levels should be higher too.

Yea i would think just by the way i feel that its back up to normal within 10-20 minutes cause if you do it alot your body will compensate and produce more

[DJSTARER]

I have a girlfriend of 3 years, and if I told her I wouldn't bend her over the couch for some hanky panky because I had just finished an hour of intense training....

wouldn't be good


I'll tell her my lowerback, arms and legs are super sore and tired sometimes though.... that'll get her to be creative. he he

1- Ejaculation does not lower testosterone
2- Testosterone is not consumed by producing more semen/sperm
3- Most importantly your body will make more testosterone when you are more sexually active (including masterbation).

[anonymous]

does this include sex? its the same right?

[dcras]

If i bust one before going to the gym, i feel like i have less energy and motivation. I usually try to wait until i get back. Plus, who can argue that rubbin one out is great before a nap

[imchill123]

Actually, it has none or little effect on testosterone, in a good way.
It releases endorphine, its when you have the "feel good" feeling. that might raise your testosterone

and for sex, since it "feels better" it might raise it more. probably not much difference but yea...

[Sam C]

LMAO, reps.

I will say though that Ive often pondered this question myself. Like in boxing movies they often say "Dont have sex the night before a fight", but that may just be so your not tired...

yeah, my teamates in XC told me the same thing abou the night before a race...btw, it did not have any affect on my race

[tbjake34]

There is no way jacking off lowers test levels... Porn stars would be skinny as hell then... LOL

[catfishman]

lol cpuple of my m8's had a game once to see who could not beat off for the longest, one said after 2 1/2 weeks, he was leaking in the day hahaa, was so funny, think one jus came in his sleep, the other ones gf got to him lol

[skitman1080]

good topic, but i don't think it should make any difference. not masturbating because it can reduce test levels (if this is even true) is like not having sex because you dont want to reduce test levels. Forget that!!! Im not gonna put a halt to my sex life so i could possily have slightly more testosterone floating around my body....just my 2 cents though

[C@$#]

I saw a study where after 1 week of no sexual activity test levels drop, so you should get at least 1 sexual encounter per week

[exile124]

I dont care what anyone says but bodybuilding is more than a life style to me its my life and some call it obsession but i call it dedication!

[da7n022]

bro if ur seriously worried about reducing ur test levels take zma which increases natural test and is safe for teens

[RunningAwayFrom]

WOW strong arms

lmao
