Does masturbation affect the hypertrophy?

[markg]

Dont you need testosterone to build muscle? Doesnt masterbation/sex drain you of testosterone?

Yes, unfortunately you lose all of your testosterone after masterbating and will no longer be able to gain any muscle. On the plus side, if you've lost any hair due to male pattern baldness, it will immediately grow back.

Stop misleading people. Male pattern baldness can only be fixed if you masturbate with the top of your head.

Yes, sorry, what do I know, I can't even spell masturbate...maybe I'll stick to w*nking from now on!

There's an off topic section for joking/fun stuff people. Keep it serious in other categories.

Sometimes you got to let shit slide... you just got to let shit slide

seriously though it's not that big of a factor... worry about eating and sleeping more before this comes to mind

I just noticed this thread, and feel I have to point out two things:
Ghandi suggested that the European Jews should commit mass suicide to arouse the worlds anger, when questioned about how we could defeat the Nazi threat using pacifist methods - not very smart or practical so we can rule out sex tips from him too.
Issac Newton didn't have sex with women, but he certainly liked having sex with his boyfriend. So who can say if he pleasured himself to saucy lithographs or not?

The only studies about masturbation in men I've ever read suggest a preventitive effect against prostate cancer in later life if you are wa*king like a safari park chimp night and day so it obviously isn't that bad for you. For some reason society seems to like making people feel guilty about all things sexual, first it's amoral and upsets the clergy now it makes your muscles shrink?

I don't think masturbation is worth the feeling of guilt/uncleanness. It doesn't even compare with the real thing. If you can't go 1 month without it, then it sounds like you might have an addiction that could cause problems for you in the future.

o_O what guilt/uncleanness? It's perfectly normal and healthy. Doesn't make one blind or bald or sick etc. despite the very scientific studies from the 18th century claiming so.
Why would not going 1 month without masturbation mean someone's got an addiction? Unless it interferes with one's daily life it can hardly be called addiction or problem causing.

I'm guilty, I confess. I jack off like there's no tomorrow and am extremely addicted to it. Am I going to be punished now? Then whip my nsked ass please

But serious: Ghost, I think you should know that there are people that are raised to believe that masturbation is bad, possibly related to religion. You can't just say to these people there's nothing wrong with it, 'cause they don't feel that way at all.

Oh man I couldn't help but picture a scene from the movie/documentary "A complete history of my sexual failures" where the dude visits an s&m dominatrix and gets a whip straight to his naked balls. Thanks for the laugh.

I think there is a simple solution, universal, for anything
JUST EAT ENOUGH TO COMPENSATE FOR LOST ENERGY
And do NOT do that several hours before workout

(talking from personal experience)

And as another general, universal rule - Do not get anything to extreme - and you'll be fine!

Even water can kill you (damage your brain!) if drunk faster than 12 litres in 12 hours.

And better to stay away from all that religion bullshit - all religions just want us to be sheeps and be easily controllable.

No prob but religious people argue that it's God's will that sex is strictly reserved for a loving husband and his wife, so there's a whole other truth out there

Yes, well, religious people also argue that the Earth is 6 000 years old so I'd say the god's will based truth is pretty much rendered moot. But let's keep the religion subject in the atheism thread, and stick to the matter at hand (pun intended), shall we?

And, to lighten up the mood a little bit.
