Masturbation/Sex And It's Effects on Testosterone/Muscle Growth....

**KBZ** · 02-17-2004, 08:26 PM

Hey, first off this isn't really a steroid question, but on deliberation I decided to post here, as it seems about the best place to post....
anyways, I've heard old wives tales, urban legends, or whatever you may call it, that masturbation or sex reduces muscle growth. I guess in that it reduces testosterone levels .
Is this true?
On one hand it seems like your body would have to speed up testosterone production to "refill" your sperm, which could help, but then if you think that more test is going to refill your sperm and not to muscle growth.... I dunno, sorry, do not take that last statement with a grain of salt as I don't know what the @#$! I'm talking about in that aspect really lol.
And what about on the juice, does this change things? (Not even close to juicing personally, but just curious in this part)

No it is not..... .if you are in your 20's it will reduce your chance of prostate cancer..

If you avoid prostate enlargement... you can continue your use of test/deca /whatever late into life..

Hey I searched, and found one or two informational threads, but there wasn't any completely good conclusions.
However, the consensus seemed to be that it wasn't really bad. But does anybody have a reasoning on why or why not it's good or bad for muscle growth/testosterone ?

**monkeyjuice** · 02-17-2004, 08:47 PM

well i am horny all day long and i am on 500mg of Test Cyp /wk. I basically have sex everyday with my girlfriend, she even told me we need to cut back. And i still gained 16lbs so far, and i'm on the end of my 6th week. so this can't be true!

**Da Bull** · 02-17-2004, 08:49 PM

I went at it like a woodpecker on a tree in my teens and 20's and it never affected any growth on my part.

**inheritmylife** · 02-17-2004, 08:54 PM

I'll lose my hair, part with my wallet, endure 18 guages and t-400, gargle flax oil, but I will never give THAT up.

i think masturbation actually encourages muscle growth. Ever since i started jerkin off 8 times a day i noticed significant growth in my forearms and biceps

**BrokenBricks** · 02-17-2004, 09:17 PM

my right forearm looks like ronnie colemans.......except for the blackness

**Kdog@usi** · 02-17-2004, 09:27 PM

my left arm is for some reason now bigger than my right. I must be overtraining my right. guess I'll have to get to know my left hand a little better!

It can't be true when you are on juce. A lot of my buddies on test 400-800mg/week. They are nailing GFs every day, couple times a day. And still getting additional mass.

**lifesabitch** · 02-18-2004, 10:12 AM

Is that what people mean when they talk about "clean and jerk"?!!!

The conclusion is that anyone that thinks sex/masturbation will inhibit your gains is an idiot.

**Testsubject** · 02-18-2004, 02:30 PM

Sex/Masturbation will not inhibit your gain although i have alot more aggression in the gym when i havent had sex or jerked it in a few days. Everything just builds up inside and i find i can lift better.

**Braz_Machine** · 02-18-2004, 02:48 PM

I have clients that pay me for sex every day. I have to say the more sex the better. It help pay for the bills too.

HAHA, Yeah I get pretty aggressive after a few days bro, its crazy.

**LightWeightBaby** · 02-18-2004, 07:07 PM

When my test is through the roof if I do not jerk it at least one a day I will probably have a hard on all day, nothing is more embarassing than asking a guy at the gym for a spot when your pitching a tent.
