Does anyone know anything about the correlation between test and masturbation/ejaculation? I presume there is at least a slight effect on testosterone and where the sweet spot lies from not masturbating to multiple times a day. I've seen some graphs and data showing once a week as a fair regime and when testosterone has a slight temporary increase before decreasing again. Could this then be negative as the spike (from my knowledge) can cause hormonal acne? However boxers seem to avoid masturbation completely prior to their fight, thinking it will increase testosterone.
Any knowledge and responses would be appreciated,
Thanks

If I recall correctly, 3-days is that period

and it barely increases test levels, won't give you any benefits, more cons than benefits

If you do it excessively then I'm pretty sure it'll lower your test. There's no effect tho really just like short term right after

the entire process of testicular testosterone biosynthesis (by hpgaxis, leydig cell stimulation, steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (star)mediated cholesterol transport and enzymatic conversion by CYP11A1, 3 beta HSD and 17 beta HSD) gets BARELY affected by gooning frequency

in normal physiology this would happen -
hypothalamus -> pulsatile GnRH
anterior pituitary-> LH
leydig cells in testes-> cholesterol -> pregnenolone -> testosterone

what acute gooning does -
transiently increases prolactin(by tuberoinfundibular dopaminergic inhibition)
prolactin peaks i think 20 min post goon
dopamine drops which may slightly blunt gnrh/lh pulse frequency in the short term

but
the prolactin elevation is physiologic not pathological
serum T returns to baseline within 45 minutes to 3 hours (i dont remember exactly)

chronic abstinence for like 7 days for example -
may cause a small transient rise in T around day 7 ish i think
this is not significant in magnitude at all so fuck it
by day 10 or something T returns to normal individual baseline
prolonged abstinence beyond this does not further increase T at all. nofap is COPE for T.

what acc lowers T -
chronic sleep deprivation (reduces LH pulse amplitude)
obesity (T to E2 conversion)
high dose glucocorticoids for long time (suppress leydig cell function)
testicular injury,chemotherapy, pituitary tumors annd shit

There is so many other things that make a bigger difference in natty test levels to the point worrying about enjaculation become obsolete,
it will never be the reason why you have a 400 test vs 800ng/dl even though the cold shower bro like to think it makes that much of a difference.

it falls back to baseline after a week anyways,
but lets say I didn't even fall back, you would get super minor bump in serum concentration that you wouldnt even feel at all. getting 50 more ng/dl is making a difference in the gym, or your mood or in the bedroom. any effects you feel might be minor bump in labido n other's are placebo


So stop worrying about such a n arbitrary number increase that not going to do fuck for you

so basically the more orgasms means you signal your igf-1 more, which means more bone mass

If I goon 5 times a day does it stack

Fluctuating your test levels like that is bad for u
