I would like to know if a male stops masturbating, will there be a rise in the production of testosterone? And if so, then how much? A source is not necessary, but would be nice. Thank you.

Being a nurse I believe that males produce testosterone that is kept at the same level. Upon ejaculation, sperm is released and for a while the testosterone leve is lowered. But it is just a matter of time before such levels reach their normal state.

It does have the same effect that in men,erection (of the clitoris and nipples in women). But doesn't increase the sex drive. Same restrictions apply to females (don't use if you have heart, circulatory or blood pressure problems). It is reported that it does increase sensation and orgasms, but isn't clinically proved.\n\nNo, it is not hormonal, and won't grow beards in women.\n\nYes the study implies it increases the sex drive, but then says it was not significant (statistically) against a placebo

Hey Papi!\n\nWell if it prevents ejaculation, then you can be 100% certain my hubby and I will NOT be promoting such a product! The male orgasm / ejaculation feels too good for me to NOT experience it!

Masturbating is healthy as long as you dont do it every day. In my opinion you shouldn't stop masturbating(but if u really want to quit then get a g/f or b/f)

Dear Alice-\n\nIf a person masturbates once or twice a day, for approximately over a long period of time, like two to three years, would there be any side effects for this person? Or maybe, are there any long-term side effects?\n\nSigned-- Curious Student about Masturbation\n\n \n\nDear Curious Student about Masturbation,\n\nIndividuals vary tremendously in the frequencies with which they masturbate. There are people who never masturbate, those who masturbate two or three times in their lifetime, and those who masturbate three or more times a day, as well as everything in between. Many people masturbate throughout their lifetime without any side effects, other than pleasure. If there is no significant stress in your life (work, school, relationship, family, etc.), and the amount you are masturbating isn't hurting you, why not just enjoy yourself?

Connection between ejaculation frequency and prostate health \nhttp://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/4961.html\n\nQUESTION:\nI have been coming across articles on the connection between masturbation, ejaculation, and overall health. I was very surprised about this article from the Cancer Council Victoria in Australia . It was a study that confirmed that ejaculation frequency is important for a healthy prostate. The protective effect was most significant in men in their twenties who ejaculated on average 7 or more times per week. It compared this against same-age men who ejaculated less than 3 times per week. I made a New Year's resolution to pay attention to my body and to ejaculate at least once a day. I feel much better for it and my penis strength and sexual urge has increased immensely. I feel balanced. After a year, I can't imagine going back to my old repressed frequency and probably couldn?t keep from cumming for a whole day if I tried now. Why aren?t people made aware of this need? After getting used to daily +, I often have the urge to do it even more, but hold back. Are there any physical problems with over ejaculating? \n\nANSWER:\nWhat a fabulous New Year’s resolution to pay attention to your body!  Your efforts are worth applauding, as being in tune with yourself and your new masturbation schedule seems to have paid off, as you note that you feel “balanced” and “much better for it.”  Happily, no physical problems are associated with over-ejaculating, so don’t worry about giving in to the natural urge to enjoy and pleasure yourself more often.  You clearly have a strong awareness of the positive effects of masturbation on your body, so go ahead and experiment with masturbation frequency – in this way, you can determine what frequency feels best for you and your regular routine.\n\nYou also ask why people aren’t made aware of the “need” to masturbate often.  Good question – especially in light of the study’s findings that frequent ejaculation helps reduce the risk of prostate cancer.  Unfortunately, self-stimulation – as with most sexual acts – is often viewed as shameful, dirty, immoral, and all sorts of other negative adjectives.  Wouldn’t it be great if masturbation could be seen as the healthy, enjoyable, and beneficial activity it really is, openly talked about and (gasp!) endorsed?  Perhaps one day it will be – with more people like you who are open-minded and bold enough to talk about it in a positive light.  \n\nEnjoy – and pass that article along to friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, and anybody and everybody else! \n\nMASTURBATION MYTHS:\nfrom http://www.jackinworld.com/library/myths.html\n\nChances are, of all the things you've heard about masturbation, most of them were absolutely false. For some reason, misinformation surrounds masturbation like virtually no other topic. How do you spot a masturbation myth? One simple method is to ask yourself if the statement is also true of sexual intercourse. When you're masturbating, your body only knows it's getting sexually stimulated; it doesn't know by what means. So, for instance, if the question is whether or not masturbation causes acne, think of it this way: If it did, intercourse would also cause acne. In fact, neither masturbation nor intercourse cause acne.\n\nMYTH:\nMasturbation causes hair to grow on your palms.\nFACT:\nHow many people with hair on their palms have you seen?  \nMYTH:\nMasturbation causes hair loss, chronic fatigue, and other problems.\nFACT:\nInternet scam artists have tried to invent a concept called "overmasturbation," insisting that you have to buy their expensive herbal pills in order to counteract the effect of masturbating more than a couple of times per week. But the pills have absolutely no effect — and masturbating once or twice a day will not make your hair fall out, or cause anything else they claim.\nMYTH:\nMasturbation is bad for your eyesight. \nFACT:

Masturbate as often as you choose to do so. All men different, some do it alot, while others only do it a little. Just up to you and what you choose to do.

It is true that if you're highly aroused, your testicles become engorged with blood and may appear slightly larger and heavier, and that masturbating will make them revert to normal. But they will absolutely not be any smaller than after the last time you masturbated. \nMYTH:\nMasturbation causes acne. \nFACT:\nIt doesn't cause acne.

You can't give yourself a sexually transmitted disease! \nMYTH:\nIf you masturbate too much, you'll run out of semen and become sterile. \nFACT:\nSemen is a fully renewable resource.

For an 18-year-old male, a rough average is once a day or so. This is slightly higher for younger teenagers — maybe 10 or 12 times a week, and slightly lower for older people. You might be surprised by how often adult men masturbate — even happily married men.\n\nI think I'm addicted to masturbation. Is that possible?\nIt is, although many, many people think they're addicted when they're really just doing what comes naturally. For more on this topic, read the article Is Masturbation Addictive?(http://www.jackinworld.com/library/articles/addict.html).\n\nHow can I masturbate less often, or quit altogether?\nIt's tough; it takes a lot of will power. It can be done, especially if you're driven by very strong religious feelings. However, JackinWorld's position is that it's not worth it. We think you should enjoy the harmless pleasures your body can provide.

LOL umm are you getting more exercise and eating better? have you seen more hot girls on tv or out? exercise increases testosterone..and libido. have you stopped or slowed down the amount of sex you've been having? Images and health are the only things I could think of.

Yes, I have had this happen, usually after a long period between ejaculations.  Especially if you are younger.  I think this way:  Semen has to come out one way or the other - so in times of abstinence it can happen.  Don't worry about it.  It's not serious.  This is usually when for whatever reasons, it's been a while since you had an ejaculation.

You should stop immediately. Masturbating can be very dangerous and you can turn blind overnight. (At least that's what the Pope wants you to believe). If it gets you tired ask somebody else to do the masturbating for you. Never use RedBull though. before or while masturbating.

What kind of stress is happening in his life? A 19 year old is at his prime and if he can 't get off masturbating something isn't right. I would find out what stress is going on. If there is not anything important enough to to suffer through ED (erectile dysfunction), there might be a prostate problem or something to do with the urinary tract.\n\nAlso, one thing can lead to another. If there is emotional problems it could affect his sexual performance. If it is medical, and can't or won't talk to about it, it might cause a psychological problem. One problem might beget another.\n\nI wish you guys the best of luck! This should be one of the happiest time of your life!

Hey, Conan, here's a newsflash:  you're normal!  Right, some men aren't quite as driven as you and some are even more driven.  But they're normal, too.  As long as you don't hurt anyone, including yourself, ain't no sweat.  And as long as it does not bother your GF...Look, there is no absolute regarding what endorphins do or do not do for you.  There is a range of acceptable responses and yours do fall within that range.  By the way, if she gets you that hot 'n bothered, would ya mind posting her pic so's us other guys can see what we're missing?

Hi\n\nI went out with a pro boxer and we was not allowed to have sex 3 nights before the match - releases endorphins which are muscle relaxants etc, he was not allowed to masturbate either.\n\nI don't know whether bodybuilding is different but I don't think it would have that much affect on your performance.\n\nSex is also a form or excercise and increases endurance

Master_____ can cause an increase in testosterone as mentioned before, just as the sex hormones in women increase in acne.  Many teengage women with acne report a decrease in acne when they start birth control.  This can also be seen in men who use steroids to enhance their muscles commonly complain about severe acne on their backs.  Listed below is a website that makes the same claims I have reported but fails to explain it physiologically or site sources.  \nHad I to hazard a guess, I would say that there may be a link in the production of testosterone that deals with the production of cortisone and mineral corticoids from cholesterol.  If the body is constantly producing more testosterone to compensate for the frequent production of sperm than rate by which other hormones are produced may be affected.  But that is just an educated guess.
