The prevailing belief is that masturbation reduces your testosterone levels – but that’s according to your friendly neighborhood “bro”.<\/p>\n

Be that as it may, is that really a problem?<\/p>\n

See, we all know the important role that testosterone plays in aiding the body to create muscle mass after working out. More testosterone means more fuel to achieve gains.<\/p>\n

The bottom line is, a man that has regular or ample amounts of testosterone levels in his body (say, 1000 ng\/dl) will likely build significantly more muscle mass than someone who has below average testosterone levels (say, 250 ng\/dl). The man with lower testosterone levels will need to work much harder and much more often to achieve just a marginal increase in muscle mass. That’s just how it is.<\/p>\n

But how does masturbation really <\/em>affect your testosterone levels?<\/p>\n

Let’s begin our discussion by going into NoFap – which is internet slang for masturbation. Or the sound of it. Fap. Fap. Fap.<\/em><\/p>\n

What it basically means is giving up masturbation entirely to reap its so-called benefits, of which there is a mountain of anecdotal evidence coming from its believers. Just trust me, bro.<\/em><\/p>\n

However. is there any truth to these claims? Let’s see.<\/p>\n

What are the benefits of giving up masturbation entirely?<\/span><\/h3>\n

The primary benefit that believers of the NoFap philosophy claim is that of increased testosterone levels based on a study performed in China back in 2003.<\/p>\n

According to the study, men who refrained from ejaculating for a week achieved an increase in testosterone levels<\/a> by nearly 46%. This inspired NoFap’s believers to actually do the same and abstain from jacking off for a week, and shared other purported benefits of doing so ranging from physical benefits to mental benefits. That’s not to mention others who have found their “Eureka” moment by quitting masturbating altogether.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the so-called benefits of the “NoFap” lifestyle, based on largely anecdotal evidence:<\/p>\n
