Does Sex/Masturbation Hinder Gains

You make me laugh. Your understanding will no doubt fit where the sun doesn’t shine. Touche.

Is not part of doing PE for some guys edging? Is not edging the same thing as having sex and restraining from releasing? It just seems the same to me, guess I could be wrong.

Sun, is that your picture?

You don’t talk to other members like that. If you ever are allowed to post again (Right now I have my doubts), we can discuss all the stupid things you have said and represented as facts.

The whole idea that ejaculation is such a large energy drain on the body is false. You can’t back it up because there is no evidence that it is true.

Search for “calories in ejaculate” and you will find most references state it to be between 2 and 15 calories. An insignificant percentage of daily requirements. If you want to assume that the energy requirements to create the ejaculate is far greater than its calorie content it simply doesn’t work that way. As far as sperm being such a complex and difficult substance to make by the body, it is also not true. The body is replacing millions of cells every day as part of normal metabolism. A sperm cell is in fact simpler than most other cells in the body.

If you really think the energy required to ejaculate can be so draining as to prevent PE, then you better not get out of bed in the morning. Brushing your teeth might be overly draining.

Regardless of how much energy your body requires during the day, it adapts and can handle it as long as nutrition is available. The example of bodybuilding is a good one. Bodybuilders expend more energy than most people, and grow more than most people. Their energy expenditure actually creates an anabolic condition in the body.

I don’t think masturbation has anything to do with potential PE gains. However there are more logical arguments other than the “draining energy” argument, such as possible effects of hormones released etc.

I showed him the door.

I didn’t read the whole thing, but I used the search function for this thread. And nobody mentioned this thread: The PE Survey results!??

So what’s the deal with that?

A large group of uninformed participants?

This data make me perplex, too. I speculate that those who avoid masturbation are more focused on PE, so they work more. A cross-control should had be done: those who masturbate less tends to do more PE work?

Hi, I’m just starting out and I thought I would get some things clear. I noticed when stretching/jelqing I have tendencies to get an erection. Rather than having to stop my workout and let it subside, I thought the easiest way to prevent this problem was to masturbate beforehand. Also, I wanted to know if masturbating or having sex immediately afterwards hindered any results I might have received.

Masturbate an 1/2 hour before PE is better.

No masturbation don’t hinder gains.

I usually masturbate a little before jelqing like what kingpole said. It usually does the trick, but be careful it may be a little hard to get it back up again for jelqing. No pun intended.

I’m on the same boat and in two months I’ve experienced more than 1” inch in length and 0.3” in girth.
I don’t believe I would grow more than that in my newbie 2 months if I stopped masturbation. ;)

Is this a good/bad idea or doesn’t matter?

I always find the need to just relieve myself after a half hour of jelqing.

Personally, I always wait until the post-jelq “plumpness” feeling goes away before firing one off.

Is it okay to masturbate after jelqing(after like 5 hours)

I would say yes, but there are some who would disagree.
