Does Sex/Masturbation Hinder Gains

I’m relatively new to P.E.

I jelq.

But what I can’t seem to stop is getting an erection while I jelq.

Every 20-30 jelqs, I get erected and I have to stop for 3 mins just to cool down and start again. I end up having to stop 10 mins just to get through 200 jelqs per session.

The only way I seem to not get and erection while jelqing is masturbating around 1-2 hours before.

Will this affect penis growth?

Please Advise. Thank You.

You should be fine as long as you stick to the 1-2 hours delay before your PE session. Eventually your dick will get used to the extra attention it is receiving from PE and you won’t have to masturbate so much to avoid the unwanted erections.

I saw a post in the other forum about masturbation’s effect on PE. Some people say “shouldn’t have correlation,” but I think it could. I know when performing some of the exercises, the new routine says to do it in a semi erect state. When you haven’t masturbated in days, you get to this state quicker, and probably become more erect during the workout. So maybe the more consistent erection could have an impact.

You somehow read my mind when making this thread. I’ve lately been having EQ issues as well. However, I’m located overseas for school and the selection of women - is basically nil. I’ve seen myself getting addicted to porn and watching porn a lot more than usual. Some days, I’ve masturbated up to 3 times. However, I need to start controlling my urges and see if my EQ will come back stronger than before.

Compared to having masturbating, my penis feels far thicker and “heavier” when I do not. I think this might be a better situation for growth, compared to the relatively weakness I feel in it when I have masturbated within the past day.

Right foop! Usually after I orgasm, my second orgasm takes longer to achieve. I bet hormones, penis exhaustion, and pulse/bloodflow have a much bigger impact over the long term.

I’d imagine most (including myself) are interested in fapping after PE. This could still affect the PE session the following day. In my experience, I’m more quickly aroused the longer I have gone without ejaculating. So if I don’t fap for 2 days, my rested penis responds more.

And I just wanted to repeat.. It’s about the long term affect. You might be able to gain a half an inch in a year, but maybe had you not masturbated everyday but just every other day, you could have possibly gained 10-20% more in the same time frame.

I remember from Health class about the refractory period, where the body needs to recover before having another orgasm. I forget the details, but here’s a link to Wikipedia.

Refractory period (sex) - Wikipedia

Yeah, that’s the refractory period. For me that’s generally a couple of minutes at this age, but I hope to overcome it.

I have always been in the habit of masturbating 3-4 days apart, because when I was 13 I did it every day and quickly realized that it was a total waste of time. When I waited for some days, the orgasms were far more powerful, and my penis was more sensitive. On the other hand, it could be detrimental towards sex for some. However, for me, having increased sensitivity never affected my sexual stamina.

In any case, I’ve always suspected that masturbating after exercises could be detrimental because it puts strain on your penis even further. But could it help if you were to edge and clamp while masturbating? I wonder what experiences people have had with this?

I do that, in fact it’s the only PE I do. Gained 3/8 so far and OMFG!!! level of EQ increase, so i’ll say for me it’s a positive experience lol

Is it ok to masturbate during training days? I mean does it prevent from gaining?

I’m super paranoid, but I just want to know. I feel like I need rest after training and no any other stress.

Well compared to the pleasure of a nice wank…many good wanks over the course of a year, I’m not sure that .05 - .10 inches extra is worth depriving oneself.

If that’s how you feel, then that’s what you should do. Listen to your body.

I’ve found that doing it after a jelq sessions actually reduces my girth size. It may not be fact but I’m a lot smaller the next day.

I’ve found that abstaining from masturbation (or almost completely) is more beneficial than pleasuring myself.

If you abstain from masturbation you will end up reaching orgasm alot faster when having sex also It is hard to jelq without getting a full on hard on and having your pe sessions turn into a wank war

Congratulations on your first post, Holymoly89.

Wank Wars? I think I saw that. Was that the one where Luke Skyjelqer saw Darth Veinier kill One Big Knob Kenobi?
