Masturbation after PE

As I use porn to maintain an erection during PE, I always masturbate directly after a session. It’s something to look forward to, but does it discourage gains?

Use it for motivation if you like, it’s not been proven to hurt your gains, and if it means you stick to a (sensible) routine then why not?

ICM,

Thats great. I thought it might push all the blood out of the penis or something meaning that it would not stay pumped enough.

Roid - Haven’t you seen one of the hundred other threads on this subject? There was one just three days ago. The question is asked so often, I’ve incorporated the answer in my sig.

You’re right that masturbation, or technically ejaculation, does cause the penis to shrivel. The small smooth muscle fibers within the corpora cavernosa (CC) do contract and squeeze the blood out of the CC. It’s a normal reaction to ejaculation. But the process of jelqing, the moving of blood within the CC, is what causes the gains. The repeated stress of the pressure is what causes the tissues to stretch and enlarge. What happens afterward doesn’t reverse that.

Westla,

But surely it is better to keep the penis pumped after jelqing because it will mean that the cells have the chance to heal at a larger size?

So, don’t masturbate, Roid. Save it for later.

There are many theories about how PE works, and many discussions here about them (this is a recent one), that I was speaking in generalities. We’ve had many members masturbate during their PE exercises and many members with wives or girlfriends who have regular sex, and they’ve made gains. I don’t think it matters. If you do, then, as Avocet8 said, don’t jerk off. When you ask a question like this, you’re bound to get answers on both sides of the fence. In the end, you’ll still have to make up your own mind about how you think it affects your progress and whether or not you’ll continue to do it.

This is such a perennial question. Don’t be put off if we sound impatient with it.

More guys than not (my estimation from reading here for years) say it doesn’t matter how you handle this. Immediate response to ejaculation is some turtle-ing of your cock. But a couple hours later you fall back into form.

My opinion? If you believe that healing micro-tears is best done in the largest flaccid state, don’t ejaculate for a couple hours after PE. Micro-tears heal pretty fast. If you don’t believe that, just blow your load. There are guys here who do it both ways and it doesn’t seem to matter as to gains.

Well, I’m married but I’m hooked on masturbation. After a jelq session, my dick gets really big, and masturbating seems more appealing, especially when I’m watching porn. However, I’m afraid this will affect my progress, so I drop the idea.

The funny thing is that I can control myself while jelqing, and I never feel the urge to ejaculate, though I’m watching porn. But when I’m making love, I suffer from premature ejaculation. I wonder if you have any recommendations how I can overcome this problem in the near future.

Don’t tell me about the start and stop techniques and this stuff! I know all about them guys. The problem is that I can jelq for thirty minutes without having the urge to ejaculate, but during intercourse, I won’t be able to suppress ejaculation for more than three minutes! Maybe because when jelqing, my focus is not on sex, but rather on the exercise itself. I’m looking forward for your replies.

2004……

It was impossible for me to jelq without porn and after I was so turned on that I had to masturbate, not that it has diminished my gains.

Does it blocking gains or not ?

For me it definitly blocked gains…. Even if I did it 2-3 hours later….
For now PE day= no sex day…
But my program is only 2-3 days a week so I have plenty of days to have sex XD

I’m a good gainer and blow after every session.
