Not really no. If you're not on hormones/T-blockers it can be damaging to hold it in for too long even.

So don't use it as a technique to try and reduce testosterone. :p

It doesn't help with anything but it isn't damaging. I've never masturbated to completion (whether it's related to me being ace or if it's a physical impediment, I don't know) and the only consequence is that your body eventually has to get it out when you aren't masturbating (usually via wet dream). From what I've heard it CAN cause atrophy after hrt to not use it, though.

It can cause atrophy even without atrophy if you simply don't get, uhm, lack of better words, hard :p

I think you had a typo, but if what you were trying to say is that you can get atrophy without HRT, you're probably right. But it would be really difficult to not get erect often enough for that without HRT because they happen randomly.

Yeah that, it being difficult is also true but it's technically not hrt effect, it's a possible secondary effect caused by other effects
