I agree that ejaculation in moderation has to be beneficial. What strikes me strange though is that the PE Survey suggests that less masturbation, less ejaculation, is beneficial gainfully. No ‘balance of masturbation is optimal’, but that the results suggest that men who masturbate less gain more. These results don’t make logical sense to me.
4. The Masturbation affect:
The results suggest that men who masturbate less gain more. This is extremely evident when comparing the people who masturbated once a month or less (average gain of 6.22 cubic inches) to the people who masturbated a few times a month or more (average girth (editor: why girth????) gain of 3.87 cubic inches). Meaning, the people who masturbated once a month or less gained 60 percent more cubic inches than the people who masturbated a few times a month or more. [Question 12 – On average, how often do you masturbate?]
5. The Ejaculation affect:
Question 19 takes the Masturbation affect one step further, suggesting it is not masturbating that affects gains, but masturbating and ejaculating shortly after a PE session that does. The group that ejaculated within an hour after a PE session, increased their penis size a third less than the groups that did not. [Question 19 - Within an hour after a normal PE session do you masturbate? If yes, do you ejaculate? Please select the answer that fits you best (meaning if you masturbate and ejaculate 70 percent of the time, then check “Yes, and I Ejaculate.”]
In summary, the data suggests masturbating and withholding ejaculation does not hurt gains, however masturbating and ejaculating does.
