Too much ejaculation lowering testosterone?

[bigproblem]

I looked at this page where it asks a slightly different questions about cancer.

But if you look at the best answer chosen which is, even though somehow someone rated with one star, It is still the best answer.


research has NOT proven that the opposite is true!

Too much ejaculating leads to LOWER testosterone!! Why do you people think that you can jack off an endless amount of times and still be sexually healthy for intercourse?! It is not an endless amount of energy. Erections are fueled by testosterone. Testosterone sends nitric oxide to the penis so it stays erect. When you ejaculate, testosterone is used to make more sperm for the next ejaculation. If you keep ejaculating without letting your body keep up with testosterone production, you will start to lose testosterone.

When you lose testosterone, your sex drive will diminish, your erections will become weak, and you will develop symptoms of premature ejaculation.

Keeping the body at low testosterone puts a man at HIGH risk of prostate cancer, among other things!

Research only looks at healthy men that ejaculate in a healthy amount! When you ejaculate in a healthy amount, your body does produce more testosterone. But if you start doing it too much, the body cant keep up.

All you need is some common sense to figure this out! You cant blindly follow reseach! Why do you think there is such a huge market for erectile dysfunction pills such as viagra and cialis??!


I think whoever wrote this answer has a very good point and it may be the reason my testosterone is low.

What do you think?

In one word: this is bullshit.

First of all, like with the dopamine, there is no testosterone-tank you can empty, it is continuously produced in your testicles and adrenal glands, so you can not lower your testosterone-level by jerking off. You can somewhat "empty your balls", so you could not orgasm 20 times a day, but this will not lower your testosterone-level.

If this would be true you should noticed other effects coming with a low testosterone-level we all would be fighting with osteoporosis and less muscle-mass and other things because testosterone isn´t only responsible for the developmet of sperms and your errection, it also has other important tasks in our body. (Boy, i had to look into some books here I haven´t touched in 10 years, that was actually fun..

And about the cancer-thing: if you read the most recent articles on pubmed it showes that scientists right know aren´t sure what role the testosterone-level plays when it comes to prostate-cancer, so we have to wait a few more years for that answer.

Our problem is in the brain, not the balls, Gary got it right.

Im not saying that the problem is not in the brain, but if you look at the para sympathic system and take into account that alot of hormones are releasesed or some sort of chemical reactions take place after ejaculation. Five times a day over twenty years could have an impact.

[Jünther]

There are human beings who have sex on a daily basis and even more than once per day over a long time, I have never herad of a hormonal shortness among them, okok, 5 times a day over 20 years might be kind of unrealistic..

But to be serious, as far as I managed to understand the body´s hormones there is no way to manipulate the hormonal levels or the hormonal production. But what you can manipulate is your cells, by forcing them to develop more or less receptors for certain hormones, making them more or less sensitive to that specific hormone and make it more or less likely for them to start the process the hormone wants them to start.
That´s the same effect that makes you penis less and less sensitive during the years of PMO: the nerves are getting numb, they need a stronger stimulus to "fire" and send a message to your brain.
And there are other things happening to our bodies and brain during the years of PMO, think about the social anxiety many guys report about, but nothing is really confirmed by science, I hope we are a lot smarter about this problem in 10 years.

If this man you quoted was right then the answer for ED was a testosterone-shot once in a while, if that´s true then I am wondering what we are doing here..

[bigproblem]

Im not saying that testosterone is the sole indicator of how good your erection will be. It may not be much of an indicator at all. Im just saying that low testosterone does cause certain problems that are not necessarily directly associated with ED. Some like I heard you need testosterone to maintain certain structures of the penis. And over the years due to over masturbation. There may be a lowering of testosterone, and thus these structures may also suffer making the problem worse.

[ssk08]

No, but non-wankers have more focus during their weight lifting, if any indicator on higher testosterone. I believe I develop just as fast as before. I have tested my testosterone levels before the reboot, they were normal.

If you are concerned have your T checked then forget it.

I have low T, I'm 55 and zero problems. My older peers I talk to have no problems. My dad was 100 pounds overweight, diabetic for 30 years, smoked for 50 years and had no problems at 83 when he died.

Nearly every guy with porn-induced ED who was tested had normal T levels. Great diets, exercised, and YOUNG.

What's the difference between these 2 groups? One used porn.

Gary, Thank you for a good answer.
