Can Masturbation Affect Your Gains?



So this what you guys want an article on masturbation.
If any of you have already read know about masturbation, you probably have an idea on how testosterone can be affected with ejaculation. 
For those of you not familiar with testosterone, testosterone is an androgenic hormone that plays a crucial role in development of male characteristics in the body. The one characteristics that you need to know is testosterone role in building muscle.
With high levels of testosterone, your body is better able to build muscle through muscle protein synthesis after a stimulating workout. Both men and women have testosterone, but men have approx. 15 times more than women.
The belief around the Internet is that masturbation and orgasm will cause your testosterone levels to deflate. So that obviously means your gains will be softening too.

STUDIES & RESEARCH 

  • No Sex $ Masturbation

One study showed that subject holding it in for 7 days did in fact saw significant increase in blood testosterone, but then trickled back down to normal levels & sometimes lower than normal in following day.
Waiting for 3 weeks before training your monster did cause a very slight uptick in testosterone compared to not waiting at all.

  • Sex $ Masturbation

The very clear change after masturbation is the 20 min boost in the hormone prolactin. This seems to serve the purpose of suppressing sexual desires following orgasm. When prolactin increases the hormone causing sexual arousal dopamine decreases.
 Heart rate stays elevated a few hours after orgasm and elevated even higher if the subject worked out after orgasm.
 Studies show that orgasm had no detrimental nor improving effects in moderate to maximum exercise performance. So the effects of orgasm on testosterone level were non-existent.

  • CONCLUSION

So it seems safe to say that masturbation and orgasm isn't going to affect your gains all that much.
Abstinence did see some increase in testosterone, the difference is not enough to justify holding back any sexual activity.

FACTORS ON WHICH TESTOSTERONE LEVEL DEPENDS


◆ When you wake up your testosterone are at its highest
◆ In evening it drops by as much as 75%.
◆ There is decrease in testosterone level f you lose a competitive event.
◆ Lacking of certain nutrients, like Zinc also causes decrease in serum testosterone.
◆ Almost all exercises increase testosterone level for short amount of time with
