Does Sex/Masturbation Hinder Gains

Of course the muscles CAN recover, provided enough time passes between ‘sessions’ that exhaust the muscles. What I am pointing out is that the PC muscle needs time to recover before being in peak condition. No bodybuilder is able to pound his/her biceps with maximum weight/reps every day. The muscles need time to recover. The PC muscle is no different. Each ejaculation is exhausting for the muscles, given that they are forced to make multiple, rapid contractions. In order to let the muscles fully recover, I think that it is not advisable to ‘skeet skeet skeet’ more than once every other day. Try it out for awhile, along with kegel exercises, and I swear you will notice a difference in your erection levels, as well as the strength of your PCs.

What muscles do you think the Kegel is exercising? Besides, the BC, not PC, has as its sole purpose in life the ejaculation of semen and constriction of the bulb of the penis to make the glans hard at maximum erection. It is designed, if you want to use that term, to do this one thing. Why would a single episode of ejaculation be so hard on it that it couldn’t function properly the next day, or in several hours for that matter? You’re working under a misconception about this muscle newjay. Regardless, if you don’t want to masturbate or have sex while you PE, that’s up to you. But if you’re going to advise others, you need to know what you’re talking about. In this case, you do not.

Hey, I may have started off on the wrong foot Westla. I don’t mean to step on anyone’s toes, and I certainly don’t want to give poor advice based on questionable grounds.

Instead I shall rephrase my advice so that it is in the form of an opinion: ‘I feel that masturbating very frequently or compulsively hinders gains, because when I did that I could not get my erection to levels necessary for quality PE. I am not a doctor, nor do I have a very knowledgeable grasp of human anatomy, but it seems as though the problem area in the above situation is my BC muscle.’

Also, I just want to emphasize that the above is not meant to be sarcastic or a jab at you at all Westla. I appreciate that you call me out when I make statements that I am not warranted in making.

One of my purposes here, as my membership has evolved, is to help people understand human anatomy and physiology. Any time I make comments in those areas it’s always for the benefit of the members and is never an attack on any one individual. Thanks for understand that. Your revised advice sounds good. Most advice is based on personal experience and you did a good job of including that in your statement.

I have noticed recently that my erection is longer when I am sitting down and measuring. When I stand up it is shorter. I can only conclude that standing up is robing me of precious inches. I suggest, if you are serious about pe, that you avoid standing as much as possible!

Ejaculations has got everything to do with PE and sexual performance in general. It’s crystal clear for me, and it amazes me how some people can’t see this.

I personally don’t feel that the relationship between masturbation and PE is crystal clear in any way. I mean, we have people in this thread who think they are entirely related, and some who think it is in no way related. My vote…just beat it, just beat it, all you have to do is beat it…

I’m a little surprised. I took two days off and measured. I’m at 8-1/16. I’m sure this isn’t permanent .. But damn! I wasn’t anticipating gains so soon. Now, I thought I was always 8 but I am sure my starting measurement was accurate at 7-1/2 (do they shrink when older?). Anyway, I hadn’t engaged in any activity for a week or so but circumstances allowed for a 2-fer today (woohoo!).

I’m still at 8-1/16. It appears sex doesn’t take anything away :) .

It would seem there would be no accurate way to determine if gains are hindered since some gain rapidly initially, some gain slowly initially, but all experience slow-downs and sudden gains. Besides, what’s the point of this if not to enjoy the benefits of the effort?

Just to be clear, by “hinder” do we mean stopping additional growth or losing some growth along the way?

I know that the whole, “Does masturbation affect PE” has been widely debated. But… I’ve been finding recently that if I don’t masturbate on a particular day and PE the following day, I feel like it has done far more good. In particular with jelqing. I can really get the blood moving about, but if I’ve masturbated it just doesn’t feel as worthwhile. Does anybody else feel the same?! It doesn’t affect stretching at all…

I was having sex a few weeks ago with a girl, and I didn’t PE for over a week, so I don’t know if sex affects it like masturbation - probably would I assume.

You should do whatever you feel works best, because when your brain thinks it’s the best, your body responds in kind.

Good point gprent, I think as with most things in life, if you are positive about something you can make it happen much more easily than if you’re negative!

The issue is that when you do jelqs your penis gets tired and needs to regenerate.OK , no problem , but when you masturbate your penis gets tired again and the healing process is over with.So the logic is if we want faster gains we should masturbate 1 time of 3 days or something .. Which is pretty difficult.How often do you masturbate guys?

Before PE, almost every day. After starting PE, 1 or 2 times a week.

I masturbate 2-4 times a day.. Trying to cut down to 1-2 times a day.. And more edging.

*Sigh horny guy here*

Is it ok to masturbate after doing PE.it’s not that intence of a PE, just the noobie routine.so is it ok?
