Does masturbation effect your gains in the gym?
I've been at many sites that say that it produces 'cortisol' which is a muscle destroying hormone , and it lowers the level of testosterone in the body for a while.

any reply would be appreciated!!!

I wouldn't worry about jerking off. I am sure there is some kind of testosterone drop after you blow your wad from midget porn, but it is not enough to affect your gains in the gym. There is dedication and then there is DEDICATION.

I don't think masturbation or sexual release from intercourse or any other forum would drop testosterone... I will try to find the study for you but I was reading some info that stated archiving an erection actually increases your testosterone.

I'll get back to you soon !

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES it does affect your gains in a bad way!

Even if that were true, is that really gonna stop any of you from slapping the monkey

Now I know why I'm not seeing the gains I was hoping for since starting 2 months ago. I thought it was just my workout!

I doubt it would have a negative affect..........so go nuts!

Now, what do they all teach about training on M&S...you gotta switch hands regularly, right?

That would be alot of masturbation to cause muscle imbalance.
