I have always been curious about the effect of testosterone and it's correlation with masturbation. Well, today I have the answer to my own curiosity. I will share with you what I now consider as truth when it comes to masturbation and the effect of testosterone, mainly the lack of it in my body.

Alright, first of all, let me start by saying that masturbation is very bad for you. How I have come to that conclusion, well, let me explain.

My schedule of work is from 3pm to 11pm. Every other day I would jog at night after work for 6 miles. That's the schedule I have chosen because from my experience it is very hard for me to jog in the morning after waking up and then going straight to work. The job I have requires a lot of walking and sometimes can get very stressful so I cannot jog everyday. Again, from my experience that would be just killing myself.

Anyways, aside from jogging I do a lot of other exercises too afterwards and so my regular hour of sleep is around 3am. Now here is the key part. Before I sleep like a lot of guys out there I would assume, I would always masturbate.

Masturbation is something I have done since I was 13. When I found out about this website, I was able to read a few things about the reason why I should stop doing it asap. So, on and off, on and off, I would force myself to stop. Sometimes 1 week, sometimes 2 weeks, and then I'm back to doing it months after months non stop.

As of today, I have stopped masturbating for one full week. Now you might be saying. Eh, he'll be back...And that's where you're wrong, because this time, I'm not even forcing myself at all. It just came naturally, because my belief about masturbation has completely changed. I now completely believe that masturbation is very bad for me.

How I came to that conclusion was very simple. One day I was off from work and I decided to jog in the morning after getting 8 hours of sleep. I told myself I wanted to sleep early today so I will jog right now so I don't have to do it later. Guess what, after 2 miles I was gasping for breath. My mind was in constant battle after 2 miles and by 3 miles my mind gave up and so did my body. That's when I said I will never masturbate ever again!

See, I was never able to feel what it's like to have low testosterone in my body until then, because my normal jogging time was around midnight. That's almost 24 hours from when I have masturbated so my body had almost completely recovered.

This post was not intended to be this long so, all I have to say and I'm pretty sure Pook and a lot of guys who have talked about the effect of testosterone have already said and I will say it again.

Masturbation is bad for you and the list goes on...

-After masturbation you don't care about women. When you are outside and you see beautiful women, you don't care, because you feel like you just had some last night. You think it's a positive thing because women like guys who don't show too much desperation and things like that but at the same time women will not come to you and ask for your phone number. You have to do that, but when you are low in testosterone most likely you won't have the energy to do it and like I said your mind isn't so much hungry for women because you feel like you just had some last night. With that said, your mind is the control so, if your mind says no then your body won't go.

-Low energy. This could have been a given. After masturbation how do you feel? You're body is tired. You want to sleep. And if you already know most of what I'm talking about, most likely you feel guilty for not being able to control yourself.

-10 hours of sleep is not enough and when I wake up I'm still tired. Now 6 or 7 is more than enough.

-It's hard to lose weight. When I stopped masturbating I was always hungry. Something I didn't feel when I was always masturbating. Now I'm always hungry for food and WOMEN!

You want women? You have to start somewhere and sometimes when you want to start you have to stop somewhere. I just made that up but for your own sake, stop masturbating! As for me, 3 miles and I'm done?!? SH!!!!!!!EEEEEET!

I'm just saying...

Good first post EJ22. I believe you're right about that. This has always been a real weakness of mine and I've never been able to stop for long. Unfortunately the human condition is such that it's very hard to learn from another person's epiphany, because those epiphanies are so personal the the epiphanee.

I'm definitely going to store your experience on my front burner as I try to get myself to the point where I can limit masturbation for the long term.

More precisely cut out porn and you kill two birds with one stone. The kind of clarity and vigour you will developed if you are consistant with this is awesome.

Don't you risk becoming a two-pump-chump if you later have sex for the first time in a long time?

Incorrect.

After masturbating, your body releases large amounts of prolactin. This in the long run is extremely counter productive. Especially for males. High levels of prolactin will lead to low energy, fatigue, depression, anxiety, erectional disfunction. Believe me i have been there!

Your body will also become less sensitive to dopamine. This will leave you feeling unsatisfied by the things that once pleased you. And the only solution is to keep repeating the thing that gives you that dopamine release e.g. jerking off.

best thing that happened to me this year is I stopped watching porn, and a few months later completely stopped masturbating. The energy levels, the horniness, the sex drive have been insane.

The article that showed me the light is from my favorite blogger:

http://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2011/02/hes_just_not_that_into_anyone.html

He basically equates porn to junk food, more specifically potato chips, which I used to love but never eat anymore. I was meanign to write a post about this, in the meantime read the link, it's fairly long but it might be the best blog post of the year.

Masturbating raises the levels of your "satisfaction" hormones and therefore will make you less horny, alpha, etc. It just makes you lazy. Of course you didn't want to run!

Now, if you bring yourself almost to peak and then don't, you'll be able to run for 12 miles.

After masturbating, you drop testosterone levels. If you stop, the first couple of days it rises, but after a week or so it drops back down. Sex raises testosterone levels so you don't have to worry about having it too much, in fact, the more the better for testosterone levels.

pfff I actually read that. I am not anti-porn.

I am all for porn.

Porn is the best outlet of modern times. I can't have sex with different chicks every night but porn helps me simulate that. Porn teaches me things and scenarios that I can try with my girl-friends. Sometimes we watch porn together, laugh at it, be stimulated by it.

I don't think I am addicted to porn, because I know addiction has a definition, and it's not up to some random guy on SoSuave that decides I am addicted. I can live without porn but I choose to indulge in it.

It truly makes me happier when after a long day's work, I see Breanna Benson taking it in with black nail polish on her hands and feet.
I turn up the volume and live the scene. I use and abuse Nature's best invention: Cerebral simulation .. Living an experience through stimulation and imagination ..

Fvck all of you guys' no-fap challenge, I will watch your share as well,

regards,

BM :D :D

Is this only after masturbating?
Or also after 'Real' sex?

Except the opposite has been proven as well. These masturbation experiments are boring and reek of compulsive behaviour. Do whatever it is you want.

Nothing wrong with jerking it in moderation.. I mean having sex empties your chamber too, should you stop that too then

Haven't mb'd in a few weeks (at least 3). I've watched, looked at pictures of some I'll probably never have, come to the brink of coming, but in my mind remembered, how bad I'd feel about losing my load on account of myself and not via another woman's po0n, t!ts, hand, mouth, and that got me to suck it up and Stop from coming, close down the site, and continue on with something mentally productive or challenging, like stock research, or research about the world in general, language learning etc etc, call someone up, go out and mountain bike ride, whatever. Just close that web browser if you ever get to the brink of coming by your own hand, then you will CONTINUE your power streak, your masculinity, your wit, your juices of mindflow, your physical peak that you have been enjoying all those weeks you've gone without mbing. I know it's hard, but as you get older like me, and as you develop long streaks of not mbing, it gets easier and easier to shut it down when you're weak jacking to a screen and about to come. You can shut that thing down and get back to work! but you may have had so much real po0n that your succumbing to the po0n on the screen is not all that delicious as your once virginical fantasies once beholdened as the golden of all holy grail things to want and desire. You go through A LOT of real po0n and that 2-dimensional po0n kinda loses its effect it once had. You know it stinks on 30% of women, the as5 as well, hair not shampooed (a practice of many women today so as not to "damage" their hair - fvck that, man, I need freshly shampooed hair from a woman on a date ALWAYS, so selfish for them to go without washing it for sometimes Weeks! bullsh!t! I wash mine Every day out of courtesy to any woman I may end up fvckin and for my own sanity having clean hair, I don't get this not washin hair sh!t, I don't care what her gay hairdresser said, I want fresh fvckin hair to smell when I'm rammin her from behind).

I know amateur 2-D porn, especially produced funded porn, is not reality, and that I can shut it down when I feel I'm about to lose control and come from looking at a picture of a young sweet woman's as5, pvssy, dangling t!ts, her cute face. Sometimes I cannot stop myself from coming. It's rare nowadays. But usually when I come from mbing, these days, it's a concerted decision to let her rip, because I know I'm not going to be seeing anyone in person the next day, or am going to be in recluse for at least a day. If I'm going to be meeting people in an hour, later on that day, or the next day, I Will shut it down, if I come close to coming. This ensures that I can converse with people at my maximum without that deficit feeling inside me while talking to them. I must be rounded out fully when amongst people in a social setting. I can never be at my best if I feel a lacking feeling while in their presence, which mbing makes me feel like at least a day after I've lost my load (or "sinned" as some may say).

Take an anti estrogen/ l-dopa then ;). Anyway I thought it was estrogen not prolactin relased by masturbation, the estrogen relaxes you after you release. Prolactin deals with gyno properties in men such as b1tch tits. Anyway high levels of prolactin, estrogen, and cortsol levels will hinder you in any aspect of your life anyway.

Makes sense to being less sensitive to dopamine, if you ever notice masturbating for multiple days in a row youll be "numbed" and feel indifferent about pretty much anything and have 0 drive. A low level of dopamine that your brain is actually using seems like a plausible cause for this effect.

I remember reading that one should stop watching porn, but masturbation in moderation is actually good for you. The reason being, porn is equated with the feeling of cumming in your mind so large amounts of dopamine gets released whenever you watch porn.
