Does Sex/Masturbation Hinder Gains

Silver, there are many threads here on the topic, so the search button should always be a good friend of yours. Still, you asked and we will answer.
There is no clear correlation between PE and masturbation. Some guys say it hinders gains, some that it is perfectly ok. In my experience it seems to be both, because sometimes when I ejaculate after a session it will make my penis engorge even more; but there are also times when I ejaculate after a workout and it feels like it drains my dick of it’s power.
So what I do is that I try not to ejaculate right after a PE session. But you will have to find out what works best for you.

Joeblackny, you would do well to heed the moderator’s advice. In fact, you WILL get with the program, or suffer consequences. This forum has strict rules on grammar for a reason, so please read the guidelines.

Good advice Chicken. I too was wondering about whether to wank or not wank. Us rookies don’t want to do anything that would slow gains. I did read in one thread that masturbation after PE is better than before because after having the release and contentment that comes with ejaculation you may have less will to do the work since you’re in that “aaaaaahhhhh.zzzzzzz” kind of mood afterwards. The poster said orgasm after PE-ing could be considered a reward for a good workout. I just try to keep the two separate myself. I do wonder though if masturbation itself, at any time, is good or counterproductive to PE efforts in general. Thoughts?

Oh, and I totally agree with the language and grammar guidelines. Abbreviations and acronyms have a place here and I can even forgive some of the poor grammar (I.e. "There” instead of “their”, “were” instead of “we’re”.thanks public education). What I can’t stand though (not tho) is having to read iphone-ese in this forum. Thanks Thunders!

Hi there

I was wondering if masturbation would have any adverse affects on gains?

The “Does Sex/Masturbation Hinder Gains” Debate

I think the thread title should have been: “Does Ejaculation Hinder Gains Debate”.

Perhaps it does, perhaps it doesn’t, but for some of us, it is the only way we can carry out our routine. I’ve been PEing for several years now, and to this day I still get a full erection when trying to jelq. Masturbation alleviates that problem.

The percentage of guys who regularly masturbate or have sex without ejaculation is so small that most would not consider the thread title to mean anything other than ejaculation. The question as guys ask it is always ‘masturbation’, so the thread title has to be too, or it would be hard to search for.

But you are right. :)

LOL. There has been some movement with edging - I’d imagine it could help with EQ, but overall gains no?

If so, does anyone have pointers to keep my mind off of it?

Maybe, but probably not. There are a number of threads about masturbation affecting gains.

Avoid porn and alone time to keep your mind off if it.

Oh boy, I think we’re having one of those threads every week now.
Here’s my opinion (quote from another thread):

As for masturbating in general - I don’t think there’s any reason to consider it being harmful as far as gains are conserned.

And here’s a big thread discussing the matter.

Sure the endless “Does masturbation affect gains” gets on your nerves eventually. But after a while even that fades and it becomes part of the local ambiance. ;)

WestLA-90069 - The “Does Sex/Masturbation Hinder Gains” Debate

Hi, when I do my routine I first do this: 5 minutes warmup, 5 minutes uli and erect bends then 10 minute jelqing and then after my jelqing I have to masturbate in order to avoid erection during my 10 minute stretching. Do you think this can hinder gains?

No.
