BG - Over the years there have been plenty of members who have regular sex and/or masturbate and made gains. I’m one of them. The stress of PE exercises is what causes gains. Shrinking after ejaculation won’t reverse that.

RE: “Anti Guru Disclaimer” - sounded guru-like to me. Final authority. No disagreement possible. :) (Except I do disagree. So this will never die.)

I have to cosign BG— I don’t think he was saying that gains cannot be made, just that an optimal environment for some methods of PE may require a little more, jing?

Hello all,

I feel an incredible temptation to masturbate while doing my excersices (I’m new to this) - it’s just tempting. Will that affect any potential results? Also, how can I set my mind to something else?

Darn!

I think is not good masturbate while doing PE.

Masturbate tires the penis.

I have that same problem, but I try to stay away from it since I feel like it would interfere with the blood flow and circulation your trying to do

Normally masturbation leads to ejaculation which will deplete you and cause your penis to shrink (temporarily). By this token, masturbating is counter-productive in PE. However, if you withhold ejaculation while masturbating independent of PE, your penis will remain pumped up and healthy afterwards thereby making your masturbation conducive to PE. But to answer your question directly, I would suggest keeping masturbation and PE separate. Once again though, you should be aware of the benefits of edging, etc.

OK, thanks - so it is a no no for me then.

Welcome to Thunder’s and here’s some reading for you.

When I have finished my routine, I like to take my time in masturbation a few hours afterwards. Since my EQ is suddenly so high, I feel it cements anything that I accomplished that day.

So I do my routine, wait a few hours, then masturbate but take my time and allow of a hard erection to stay and keep my penis full of blood for a good 20 minutes. My flaccid hang has really increased a lot, and is normally good now, despite before having a small flaccid. I wouldn’t be embarrassed to pull it out anymore.

When you ejaculate the chemistry of your blood changes - endorphins flood the brain, testosterone levels go down, etc.

Nobody knows how these changes effect PE gains, but we do know a lot about how they effect the rest of the body - your muscles relax, blood pressure goes down, penis goes limp, etc.

Also, semen is incredibly rich in vitamins, minerals, and all that good stuff that your body has to use to replenish the supply after you ejaculate.

It is my opinion that you should not masturbate for 3 hours before or after PE, and if at all possible only masturbate on your off days. I could try and use the above points to construct some kind of argument in favor of my theory, but instead I will just go with what my body tells me. If you can control yourself enough to not masturbate before or after PE, or only on off days, then you should try it for yourself and see what your body tells you.

Also, sex does not count because if you are getting so much sex that it is interfering with your PE then you need to re evaluate your priorities. Plus it is an aerobic exercise, and that somehow makes me feel better about it as apposed to just sitting their turning your crank.

What is everyones takes on masturbation or having intercourse.what effects on gains do you see?

Jeez,talk about going around in circles..

:?

It looks that way because every time we get a new crowd of newbies someone, usually more than one, asks if masturbation affects gains. We’ve decided that it’s so irritating and redundant (mostly because they don’t use the SEARCH button) that all such questions will be dumped into this thread and you can fight amongst yourselves. ;)

Everyone always talks about testosterone and how it could affect gains etc and that is linked to masturbation because when you ejaculate your test levels decrease. But I read that not ejaculating for a long time decreases test levels- is this true? I understand that it cannot keep rising unconditionally and so must slow down at one point but does it actually start to drop after a while?
