Sup /fit/, how does masturbation affect weight loss or weight gain?

Other than a slight bit of excercise...

Also, no TCM please.

the only way masturbation can affect your gains is positively, if you only do it once every seven days, it will spike your testosterone production on day seven (~150%), fap and repeat.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12659241

However, you should probably note that the sedating effects could make some people less willing to work out in the first place.

So 150% higher levels of testosterone from 1 week of abstinence? That's pretty fucking relevant to weightlifters.

Do you expect anyone with an internet connection to go 7 days without fapping?

50% increase, bringing it to 150% of baseline, in case there's any confusion there.

What the fuck would our ancestors say? You think they waited in seven day intervals to have sex before they went hunting? Get the fuck out.

You didn't even attempt to read the study in>>175068, did you?

Science != christfaggotry. And besides, you're still supposed to fap/have sex in order for it to work.

It's not like they had time to fucking wank their shit everyday. They had more important things to do, like look for something to eat.

it does not affect it faggot

and it is no exercise, not even a slight bit

So the lesson to be learned is that not masturbating everyday will give you a higher testosterone count? Higher T levels mean greater performance, right?

Everyone saging this thread, fucking get off ZC's dick. Science trumps internet faggotry yet again.

The "study" says nothing about affecting weight gain, muscle gain, or overall physical ability. Saying that testosterone levels are 50% higher isn't implicit to any of those.

masturbation = repetitive motion and physical exertion. some calories are burned, some muscles in your left arm are gained. that's really it.

Fuck you're an idiot. Testosterone affects performance in every way. Just because this particular article doesn't say anything about it performance gains, you're completely disregarding everything it says. Wow, I bet you also believe evolution isn't true either.

Well, according to the link, there was a neglible difference for the first six days, so there's no difference between fapping every day, every other day, every 5 days etc. 7 seems to be the magic number, because any longer after that and the spike doesn't come back until you fap again and wait yet another 7 days.

I remember someone theorized that it's sort of nature's way to force your libido up every so often, but who really knows a this point.

No fapping = higher testosterone lvl = higher performance = more hunger

Ancient chinese warrirors didn't have sex before battle. Even biblical warriors saved themselves from sex before a fight. They knew that not having sexual relations makes you more aggressive. That to me says bigger testosterone levels from not having sex.

zc is a sexless nazi. Of course ejaculation affects physiological processes. It's like saying diet has no effect on hormone levels.

Funny part is, I'm the first /fit/ regular to find the link (that I'm aware of), and I was a namefag at 7chan (Forb) until the recent faggotry with the owners.

ZC still has a relevant point - what I found is really more of a technicality/loophole that might deserve some additional experimentation and research, his point was that it doesn't have any negative effects, i.e. lost protein, hormone fluctuations, etc. I did always disagree with the brevity of his answer though.

50% is a negligible gain in the grand scheme of things

this argument is even worse than the cut vs. uncut debates on /b/

I've never seen that study before. I've always heard that it doesn't affect your performance other than perhaps relaxing you. It certainly doesn't reduce testosterone levels. That 50% increase is interesting but it is only for 1 day. Not sure how many people would benefit from that.

uncutfag reporting in. Seriously how can anyone who is uncut get smegma, you must ignore your dick for weeks without even cleaning it, its fucking disgusting. The picture with the guy licking the smegma off a guys dick and rubbing it on his lips almost made me barf.

This link was in the related articles section to the original masturbation link. From what I understand from both articles, 7 days seems to be when you actually start seeing a noticeable increase in testosterone, but in the second article the researchers state that after 3 weeks of abstinence they still saw elevated testosterone levels.
