so.. is masturbating bad for you?

According to this pic it is.

 

By that logic would sex not also be bad for you?

 

i don't believe in all the shit that it effects testosterone n shit.

 

i jerked everyday in highschool and i wasn't once depressed or fat, and i was confident and had no problem poppin a boner and my libido was always rev'd up.

sounds like bs

 

Pretty much this. It's not easy to gain weight for me, I'm confident and I'm always ready to go.

 

Boxers are told to not have sex weeks before a fight to ensure muscle strength. I would not be surprised if there were downsides to choking your chicken.

 

i bet it's so they pop boners during the match to show off to the ladiezzzzz

 

The no sex before a sporting event is a myth.

 

It's a common misconception that masturbating makes you weaker/depressed/fatter/etc.

 

Being deprived of the #1 reason for your existence IMO increases aggression, competitiveness and your need to show your worth as an instinctual display of "manliness". Plus if you haven't had sex for weeks youre gonna want to win so you can have sex with your mrs on a high rather than in defeat.

I think it does help the athlete, maybe slightly. Otherwise pro boxers wouldnt continue to do it.

 

Yes. It's just the religious right fear mongering.

 

That's bullshit, if anything it is healthy for you. If you don't you're just going to come fucking your mattress in your sleep anyway (rofl)

 

This is something we learned in Freshman biology, let me put it nice and big and easy to read:

YOU DO NOT EJACULATE TESTOSTERONE.​

 

But it could still effect the levels in your body.

 

Orgasm does not acutely affect testosterone levels in the blood.

 

I just listed so many wrongs in my head that I can't even fathom the idea that anyone, including yourself, would ever want to touch your sheets ever again. Words can not describe how much I laughed after reading this. *kills your bed with bleach*

 

Some reasonable logics here. I personally don't think its bad for you. Just saw this pic and was mind fucked.

 

There's a lot of broscience surrounding this topic. There have been multiple studies conducted that say masturbation twice a week actually reduced the chances of prostate cancer. Conversely, there have been some studies that came to the conclusion that there was no link between ejaculation and chances of prostate cancer.

From surfing through the broscience myself here is what I've found: Masturbation affects each individual differently. For some they can jerk 24/7 and not be affected at all but others will feel depression/lethargy/laziness to some degree - the effects being psychological. This doesn't mean they should be ignored however. Perhaps the heaviest things we lift and carry are not our weights but our feels.

 

Don't do it every day and you'll be fine. Everyone does it idc who you are.

Aside from sex with your wife or girlfriend sometimes it's just better, idk. Aslong as it doesn't interfere with your relationship or IRL responsibilities and you don't do it excessively or angrily, I don't see the problem.

 

Rub n tug that chicken, it reduces random boner in public.
