Does Sex/Masturbation Hinder Gains

Nothing wrong with masturbating as much as you feel you need it, as long as you keep the rest of your life in balance. Healthwise, it’s all good .

Too much masterbation makes you go blind. (:

I see that you made good use of your “week off to read”.

And after reading every link, every post, every thread…I still don’t know.

What I get from it is, “opinion varies” from one of the earliest posts.

Will I give up sex to get gains? Nope. Better sex with my wife is the reason for doing this. Length is slowly increasing. Girth doesn’t seem to do as well (dammit). But why give up the thing I want to make better in order to “possibly” get bigger, faster?

If I happen to cum from having sex with her, well that’s just part of it.

We all know that Slack! But does it affect gains or effect gains? (:

Some background first:

I just got back into PE after a 4 month break and I’m ready to be committed and continue my gains. I began three days ago with a new routine in a new order and organization and I’m going to test it for a month to see what gains it yields. I’m doing a 6on 1off routine where day 1 is only stretching, day 2 is only girth stuff, day 3 is stretching, etc… day 7 is a rest day. So I alternate length and girth. I decided to do this specifically so I wouldn’t have to spend over an hour and a half in the bathroom each night. I spend around 40 minutes a day now which IMO is a good amount of time so that I’m not consumed by my PE exercises.

I’m 21 years old which means sex crosses my mind more often than food, sleep, and breathing combined. I think I’m probably even more sex addicted than the average 21 year old as a I often find my self starring at girls regardless of if they notice me or not and for extended periods of time - LOL :p .

My point is this. I’ve read from Westla (long time PEer) and others that masturbation/ejaculation after a PE session will have no negative effect on gains. People say ejaculation after a PE session won’t hinder gains, yet I hear an equal number of people say the opposite; that PEing and ejaculating after will slow gains.

Tonight I did my girth routine and it went amazingly. My normal stats are base girth- 5 1/8”, Circ scar girth- 4 3/4, an inch below cir scar- 4 11/16. After I finished my routine tonight I had IMO amazing pumpage. I measured my girth and my base was at 5 1/2, my circ scar was at 5 3/8 (that’s 5/8 inch increase) and the inch below circ scar was 5 1/8. This inflation of measurements post work out is better than I ever experienced in my past PE’ing so that’s a good sign (and I’m only doing manual exercises)! That makes me feel confident that new gains are on the way.

The only problem is this: By the time I’m done with my girth exercises which all together with breaks and transitions take a total of around 35 minutes, I’m on the edge of cumming. I’m usually on the edge of cumming for the last 5 minutes and it’s hard to wait till the end. So tonight I came after I finished the exercises and I’m wondering if this will hurt my gains.

An important thing to know is this. After I cum for some reason or another I never really “shrink up” or “shrivel away”. I usually hang plump and nicely after I cum after a PE session. So I had my measurements of 5 1/2, 5 3/8, and 5 1/8 and I was feeling good. I came and then went in the shower and it was hanging really nicely (better than ever probably). I just loved the way it looked. I then, after a 10 minute shower, measured my flaccid girth and the 5 3/8 circ scar girth was around 5 1/8 (this was while flaccid and it’s 3/8 an inch bigger than normal while hard) and the other measurements had gone down proportionally.

What are your guy’s experiences with girth directly after PEing and 10 minutes after, so forth. How fast do your measurements return to normal? I’ll usually hang nicely for the rest of the day and maybe nicely the next morning too but measurement wise is it normal to be less fat 10 min after you stop? And I wanna know if maybe wacking it is a bad idea for me. I guess the way I see it and (please tell me if you agree with me or not) it makes sense to me to think of it like this is that if when you are finished pe’ing and your girth is enlarge and then you wack it and after words it shrivels up to normal flaccid size maybe you should avoid wacking it after a PE session. But on the flip side, if after you PE your girth is big and then you cum and it stays fat and hangs nice then it’s ok to PE?

Lastly, I just want to throw in that since I’m 21 it’s really hard to not cum when I could cum within 3 seconds of touching myself. So when I’m done PEing and I’m on the edge of cumming it’s not really something comfortable to just put on my pants and go on with my day (it’ll haunt me :p ).

Thanks for reading my long post,
Any responses would be appreciated :)

Jerkin’ it makes me loose my post-PE pump. I’d rather be on the safe side and just resist the urge to rub one out than potentially lose gains. Though I don’t think it hinders gains that much, but again, better safe than sorry

See I don’t lose my post-pe pump from jerking it after. And also I’m an inch from cumming in the last 5 min of my routine so it’s so hard not to bust. I guess i’ll just only bust if I feel I have to, but besides that resist. It’s just so hard at my age to get a second from cumming and not cum.

Yeah, I hang pretty good for awhile after jerking so I don’t think it would hurt. Worrying about it probably does more damage than either doing it or not doing it ;)

I don’t think it hurts gains, but to be on the safe side I leave it at least 3 hours either side of doing PE before I crack one off. Unless I really feel I need to, in which case I don’t worry about it.

I started a thread last night about whether or not masturbation directly after a PE session affects gains and for some reason when I checked today it’s gone. I have no idea where the thread went.

I wrote quite a bit last night but I’m too lazy to do it again so, in short, Does masturbating directly after you’re done a PE session (on a constant basis) decrease gains/ speed of gains?

Yea just go ahead and ignore my the post above, accidental double post. Thanks for the insight guys.

Johnnno,

I say do what you need to do. There are days after pumping, PE’ing etc, that I feel a real urge to jack off and I do. Then there are other days when I resist the urge to ejaculate and PE a second or third time that day. Cumming or not cumming never affected my ability to get permanent gains. What jacking off too frequently does do is to reduce my interest in PE’ing more. Find a balance between your need to wack and and not wack. It will all be good.

I wonder if extended periods of masterbation s/a in the case of edging would infact increase penis size in company with jelqing?

If it were true that frequent masturbation contributed to increased size I’d have the largest penis in the world! I’ll keep trying though. ;)
