Does masturbating hurt your workout?

[BakerC]

Hey guys, does getting off immediately post workout hurt your gains? What are your thoughts on this? I was thinking that its just wasting your bodies energy on something else (creating sperm cells) rather than growing your penis. Stupid question maybe, but wanted to hear other people's opinions.

[AfterTheShock]

This question has been asked and debated over alot , But as far as I know , to this day the 100% proof on this has yet to be found . I myself go by the general rule of no ejaculation for 2-4 hrs before and after PE. And by ejaculation , I mean doing this by masterbating or sex .

[Gandolf]

I am completely convinced that ejaculation before or after PE is detrimental to gains. MY dick just kinda shrivels and and I cannot get any type of lig stretch or engorgement if I have cum. I try not to ever cum at any point during the day prior to a PE session. I think as long as you wait a few hours after you are done with PE, you won't hurt your gains though.

This is just my opinion, based off of a lot of experience and the way it feels to ME.

[GrowingUp]

I am in total agreement with Gandolf. There should be no ejaculation, by any means, anytime during the day of your workout, for at least 4 hours after your workout. IMHO...............

[BakerC]

Yeah, I was thinking along the same lines and just wanted to hear some other people's perspective. Damn; sometimes PE feels too good though. Oh well; just need discipline.

I jack-off regularly now as part of my routine... Do my Girth Exercises first, ejaculate, then do the stretches.

You guys sound fairly certain that your permanent gains have been adversely affected by ejaculation. How did you arrive at this conclusion?

Ejaculation may prevent achieving subsequent high erection levels but how does that affect accumulated gains? My cock shrivels when I'm exposed to cold air, does that indicate that I'll never return to my pre-exposure length and girth?

I've cum buckets in the course of learning some of these techniques in the past two years and every in/cm I've gained seems to be sticking. I think that, as in everything, keep it in moderation. Don't set out to make your workouts into j/o sessions, but if it happens, go for it, then, as ItsElectric and DLD have said, do some stretching. Kinda messy, but okay!

By the way, neither ejaculation nor masturbation expend energy producing sperm; you are constantly producing sperm.

dewey,
I don't buy into the theory that ejaculating hinders gains. If it has any effect, it is minimal at most IMO.

2" more length and 1" more girth WITH ejaculating after approx. every 2nd PE-session.

go figure!

I generally ejaculate before starting to my workout. I haven't seen any hindering type effect, my growth occurs independent of either ejaculating or not ejaculating. But if there is any effect, I can not get hardly erected after a workout (if necessary).

I'll sum this up:

If you got low hormone levels needed for NPE/PE i.e. Testostarone, DHT and many other hormones and stuff than leave a minimum of 2 hours gap before/after ya workout.

When ya shoot/ejaculate the body changes chemically ALOT and the testostarone levels and other hormones drop ALOT also and thus if you have weak / low levels of these than you may effect the growth.

Now on the other hand if you got normal / high levels than you can spunk / ejaculate whenever a workout comes along as ya aint funna be missin them hormones that much as ya got alot.

Also age had alot to play.
If ya gettin into the 45+ age group or theirabaouts shall I say, than its better to leave a gap as your levels will be alot lower than younger males.

At the end of it all, some say 7 hours, 5 hours, 4 hours and even 2 hours, but the real answer in my opinion from research and experience with my self and others is that its how much hormones ya got and your age which determines wether or not cummin before / after a workout may effect it.

REDZULU,

I read somewhere that ejaculation actually RAISES test.-levels. Don't know if this is true.
For myself it made always(since I was a teen) a huge difference if I just jerk off in minimum time(resulting in quickly shriveled up dick) or if I masturbate/have sex/make erect exercises for prolonged time(1hour+) and ejaculate at the end(resulting in an after-ejaculation-erection for 5-10min. and only slowly decreasing semi erection for another 30-40min and fat flaccid hang for several hours.).
But maybe I'm special in that regard? Or not?

PE=Penis enlargement?
NPE=????

Thanks

[dewey]

Natural Penis Enlargement

[jelq2grow]

So what kind's unnatural?

Edited to say thanks for the answer btw :)

[playa7]

NPE = Natural Penis Enlargement

[jelq2grow]

Thanks playa - maybe you can answer my supplemental question? What kind's unnatural?

[dewey]

I've assumed it includes man-made devices or chemicals.

[jelq2grow]

I'm definitely an all-natural guy then! :D

[dewey]

same here. well, there has been a cockring or two in the past to pump the vascular, but no drugs.

[MDC]

Surgery would qualify in my book as non-NPE. Other than that, I don't know of anything that fits that description.

ok, so this means it is actually good to masturbate...NOT JERK OFF(3MINUTE B.S.)? are you sure it wasnt because of the olive oils you used, or maybe because of the lack of sleep the muscles inflammed because of over working and not enough time to rejuvenate? it might sound rediculous but i heard it was true, my old football coach, lifted with us one day, and he didnt go home that night, his wife found out he was cheating, and he didnt get any sleep cuz he spent the night in the car...the next day he came to the school and operated like a normal day, but on the bench he really strained himself and first he blacked out, we call 911 he went to the hospital, later on we found out he died cause of a heart failure, obviously he overworked his old ass heart then he craoked..careful what you do mayne, ya dick might fall off...BTW I ejaculate almost every session, I warm up, stretch, do the constrictor, ejaculate, warm down, strecth, jelq, warm down more..But I obviously have a normal hormone level if not high...I get up the second set of stretches so i guess i should be cool
