Does abstaining from sex & masturbation really increase testosterone?

I havent found a conclusive answer to this issue. From what I have read, it is generally believed that ejaculating has no effect on testosterone, but when I got to thinking, I'm not so sure if this is true. Unfortunatly, I dont think there have been any scientific studies on this.

It seems logical, from an evolutionary standpoint, that abstaining from ejaculation would increase the testosterone level. Ejaculation signals to the body that sex has taken place, and that since the male has been successful in finding a mate there would be no need to further increase testosterone. Thus if a male is not having sex, the body compensates by increasing the testosterone level to increase the chances of fighting off the other males and finding a mate.

Also, there are alot of nutrients in minerals in semen that are lost when you ejaculate. One of these is zinc. Most of us know zinc is essential to testosterone production. Thus whenever you ejaculate you lose zinc, but I'm not sure how much. Some websites say only .5-1mg, others said up to 5mg. 5mg is a pretty large amount compared to how much the body absorbs. I've also read that semen contains testosterone, and that this testosterone could potentially be re-absorbed by the body if not ejaculated.

I think it would be interesting if someone would quit ejaculating or reduce ejaculation frequency for a while, and compare their gains during that time to their normal gains.

Your thoughts please.
 
The only time I abstained for any considerable amount of time was when I was in boot camp, and that was for 8 weeks. I don’t know about it raising testosterone levels, but towards the end of camp I was one seriously pissed off grunt! :mad:

LOL , same here but mine was 11 weeks !!!!!!!!!
 
i damn sure gotta bust a nut while on lots of test. everyone should-it helps ease the prostate. as far as what your saying-i thought the theory went-do it often and your nuts work harder/more often-either way i dont think it matters much :)
 
Not at all

The male'd functions is to copulate successfully with as many females as possible

Sex will helpo increase TEST

besides it also is a good stress reliever so may have a positive effect as well on cortisol levels as well not to mention a good form of cardio (sex not masturbation, of course for the latter)
 
Yes, I used to have a chronic problem, but have been much stronger since I got cured.
 
there was some study posted up on this board a few mths back abt how men who are not in a long term relationship have marginally higher test levels. i don't think ejaculation frequency makes a noticeable difference. i think the volume of sperm remains about the same with/without ejaculation. if it isn't ejaculated then it is reabsorbed or u may get wet dreams. if u do ejaculate then the sperm count just reduces. i don't think it makes anoticeable difference in test levels so u can't really use it to ur advantage to build strength/mass. obviously it has other indirect advantages though.

You are losing all the zinc and healthy minerals when you ejaculate. You need to save the precious minerals, so for everytime you ejaculate you must then drink your semen to get those minerals back into your body. You can even add it to your favorite tasting whey protein shake. Adds some spicey flavor too it!

i wait 8-10 weeks inbetween every ejaculation. only because its hard to not

if i had it my way i would never wack it. my workout are definatly better when i dont wack it

of course if i was with a girl i would be wanting to fuck all the time. jerkin off is just not worth it :blow:
 
This has been a question of concern for years,especially back in the day (1987-1993) when everone wa so obsessed with growing and had this stupid misconception that busting a nut would decrease their test levels,erroneously thinking that a great deal of their exo test would be lost from the ejaculate.
This is a crock.As any urologist or endocrinologist can tell you the amount of testosterone in your ejaculate is so negligible,if you took blood tests right after you wouldn't find any difference.
However busting a few loads during the deed can tax certain neurotransmitters and can effect your neuro-muscular contractions and make you slightly weaker.
Also ejaculating can increase prolactin and can effect dopamine but this effect would be short lived with guys training on natty test, and no effect if you're jamming lots of exogenous test.
Just my 2cc's

Cured? How many 'episodes' per day are we talking about, George? Was it acute bishop flogging syndrome?

I found it helps to limit the glazing of the ham to those times when it is beyond control. Made a deal with my wife: I will avoid buffing the helmet whenever possible, as long she maintains proper care and cleaning of the complete set. So far so good. ;)

Not quite how evolution works. Basically, to evolve, something has to increase your chances of surviving/reproducing. Now who would reproduce more:

Person A who finds one mate then loses testosterone

or

Person B who goes around with sky high testosterone pimpin it up?

There's really no reason men would evolve to have less testosterone after sex because it doesn't help them survive/reproduce (it actually hurts their chances to do both). And as for your example, wouldn't more testosterone help "fighting off" other males and finding a mate regardless to if the person's having sex often or not?

The nutrients and minerals are there to "feed" (for lack of a better term) the sperm so it can live long enough to fertilize the eggs. I can't remember the exact life span but sperm only has enough nutrients for i think 5 or so days then it basically "dies" Now regardless to whether you ejaculate or not the sperm will need to be replaced. And I'm pretty sure you don't have any digestive ability in your nuts to "re-absorb" the zinc

I agree, it's like supply and demand. If the body is releasing a lot of testoterone then it needs to produce more.

As far as abstaining to see if it has a positive effect on growth, I guess for me it's like that owl trying to lick the tootsie pop without biting it:

"One, two, three(crunch)...three."

The world may never know.
 
Well all i can say on this issue is that i can absolutely tell a difference in libido if gone just 3 solid days without ejaculating. And then in about a week, all i can think about is sex and it actually effects my daily life and thinking. So if i'm not getting any lovin, i always drop the kids off at the pool atleast every 3 days.

Also this may be a quincidence but... if i go long periods of time, i seem to get a little acne on my face, but whenever i'm ejaculating often, like every day or twice a day, it clears up. so does that mean i have less free test? i don't know. i always thought so anyway.

Scaggs
 
how does the body "use up" test anyhow?..by lifitng and building muscle etc. do you use test?..if you are producing or adding exogenous test and you aren't active what happens to the test?..does it get bound up more easily and hence nuetered or some such?..I've been using BAC avena sativa for the past month and my appetite has skyrockted as well as improved results in the gym....so I'm freeing up more test and using it?..always been sort of curious about this..for example lets say I wake up and have vigorous sex and then go out and chainsaw up a bunch of wood and split it for a couple of hours(intense work)...would i have used a lot of test doing these activities and therefore perhaps have less available for weightlifting recovery later in the day?..recovery times and test levels have got to be related somehow..any thoguhts?

Well, I know for sure it increases iritability.

I notice very much increased libido when I don't wack. I notice the zits too. A few well known doc's agree this dopamine / progesterone effect can downgrade your natural test and reduce your excitement levels with your lady. Also, you all know proclactin is produced by the male right after you ejaculate - why would you want to have that spiking in the body? 1 time per week is good for prostate, thats it!
 
Jimmy I read an article that talks about a couple of studies done on these subjects.
One says "In 2003, there was a research study done on the testosterone levels in males during certain periods of abstaining from ejaculation. It found that there was a gradual increase in test levels during the first five days, but on days six and seven there was a HUGE spike, up to 147% increase in testosterone on day seven."

So there you go man, your answer, backed by science.
 
don't know how it effects testosterone, but if you don't shoot your load and you usually do. Try abstaining you will get irritable and angry. but if you wait it out and abstain it leads to an inner strength. my 2 cents.
 
By the time I got to day 7 I was so irritable..most of the time I can tolerate stupid drives but I was foaming at the mouth cussing out idiot drivers.
 
does it have effect on test levels no. A study has been conducted and verified. but i can tell you i have had workouts after getting blown or layin the pipe and they are alot different then my workouts when i havent punched the clown or beat the brakes off a chick. i feel more pissed off when i work out without having busted a nut... which usually leads to a more intense work out..... just my .2
