I watched a Jamcore DZ’s video and I learned good stuff.
My intention is to explain masturbation’s effect on a sport activity without being vulgar. Masturbation is a normal activity for some people and abnormal for others. In some religions, it’s a forbidden or ignoble activity but it’s an activity that most people do.
Type of person
The open minded person
For this person, masturbation is a normal activity because it’s natural and give a good mood. It’s not something bad.
The guilty person
For this person, masturbation is an abnormal activity, ignoble but despite that, this person does it and still feels guilty after masturbation.
The obsessed person
For this person, masturbation is an obsessive activity. This person could masturbate every hour, every day.
The bored person
For this person, masturbation is an activity to kill boredom. He’s a person who has nothing to do in life or in the day and doesn’t know what to do, masturbation.
How the body reacts
-
The intensity of masturbation increases (black line)
-
There is a release of hormones, it’s dopamine. Before masturbation, there is a first release of dopamine that cause sexual arousal and there are other dopamine release during masturbation (blue line)
-
Sexual arousal during masturbation will start the process to have the explosion, this explosion is orgasm (red line).
-
Once the orgasm has happened, there is a release of hormones, it’s prolactin. Prolactin causes the loss of interest to continue masturbation. You satisfied and you don’t want to continue to masturbate. In some situation, prolactin can make you feel guilty (green line).
Stop masturbation for 1-3 weeks
There is a black line in the middle of the chart. This is the line of testosterone. When you stop masturbation for 1-3 weeks, there is an increase in testosterone rate. But after 3 weeks, the testosterone rate returns to normal. You have to base on your normal testosterone rate to see if your testosterone is affected by anything.
It’s possible that during masturbation, the testosterone rate is below your normal testosterone rate. In this case, it’s another problem and it’s necessary to see your doctor for more details.
Most people think that masturbation makes you lose testosterone. So if masturbation makes you lose testosterone, it means that masturbation also make you lose muscles. The truth is that this myth is wrong.
Masturbation and gain muscle
The answer is « No » because the elements that influence muscle gain are training program, nutrition and rest/sleep. The only thing that masturbation does before or after a training session is the increase in heart rate.
Warning
Now that you have this information, it doesn’t mean that I encourage you to masturbation several times a day, every day. You do this when you want according to your desires but in moderation.
