I think it's funny how so many guys out there are guzzling butter, coconut oil and steak because a bunch of bros are saying it raises testosterone. Enjoy the heart attack, guys.

I think the T problem can be solved with 3 steps:

1 - better sleep
2 - deadlifts/squats
3 - eat some nuts

Competitive sports have also been shown to raise T. I'd bet anything that has exertionand adrenaline like a a karate class would also do it

Lift weights. No fap (or much less fap). Approach/date around (no exclusivity).

Along these same lines - cut out the porn. It's a killer for T-levels. That's in my own experience, and I think it's been researched as well.

I'll give my standard warning for the older guys. Too infrequent ejaculation is a risk factor for prostate cancer. Evidently seman has a shelf life and can go bad. So if you are on a dry spell I would suggest cleaning the pipes once every two weeks.

I honestly don't think I'll ever have this problem. At the moment, I'm getting some p*ssy or rubbing one out every other day. It's going to be near impossible for me to go 2 weeks.

The woman I am with now always jokes that she is coming over to improve my "prostate health" lol.... I think I have the healthiest one on SS.

Stop doing the knuckle shuffle, eat meats, avoid soy, exercise, build muscle. Don't drink a lot of beer, don't do a lot of weed and you can increase your testosterone. However, it is also based partly on your family genome. That, you cannot influence without hard drugs like HGH and stuff.

How do you know if your T levels are high or low without going to a doctor (I'm not wasting my time doing that)?

I've always had a feeling I might be lacking, only because I was raised by a women, lots of women in my family and I am quite sensitive/emotional at times. My voice is also softer than I look like it should be. I have no problem attracting women though and I have a very high libido.

Engage in regular exercise, lift heavy, and eat well. Unless you have bad genetics, you should be fine on this front for a while

Man, that's the opposite of the No Fap guys. Figuring out what to believe can be a dilemma.

I believe its not just test itself but how receptors grab it, you can have the most efficient mail delivery system with hundreds of postmen but if the receiver sleep instead of opening the door, there may be a problem.

We know some people is sensitive to DHT in terms of hairloss cause their scalp receptors are very active, yet no one tought about receptors in the rest of the body being more or less responsive.

Philosophically I agree with the no fap guys but hey that gives you two weeks to find a girl to shag. The problem is the study didn't say what the shelf life was so maybe once a month would be okay. Anyway I can't imagine once every two weeks would be psychologically or physically debilitating. But yes obviously finding a girl would be much much better. Preferably finding several girls.

That is a follow-up study looking at the original findings in the light of a decade of further research. Basically they found more squirting equals a happier prostate. The science looks pretty solid and prostate cancer risk rises with age so I'd suggest older members take this advice if in a dry spell.

Conclusions
These findings provide additional evidence of a beneficial role of more frequent ejaculation throughout adult life in the etiology of PCa, particularly for low-risk disease.
