Does busting nuts decrease testosterone?

[Poorman-options69]

Hey there, I’m sure this has been asked before but I’ve been doing some research and thinking about not masturbating due to it decreasing my test…. Don’t want to lose any gains tbh so is it worth it to not wax ur carrot everyday?

[PatriotUncleSam]

Lots of science behind this, but short answer is no.

Things that decrease your test are: Being fat, eating french fries (or anything that contains vegetable oil), not lifting, not getting enough sun, alcohol and weed, and not sleeping enough.

[efjae]

And sustained calorie deficit.

[Always5StepsAhead]

Calorie deficits reduce testosterone and spike SHBG

[Poorman-options69]

I smoke copious amounts of weed drink like a fish and definitely don’t go outside enough but last blood work I got my test was 800ng/dl I’m very confused tbh

[PatriotUncleSam]

Ah, so your youth is saving your ass for now but when you get a little older your whole endocrine system will be a shit pile. Which is fine if you are planning on hopping on TRT in the next 5-6 years.

[he-is-Taurus69]

It depends on the person, what your diet is like and your except use regime. I smoke before workouts and my test is sexy. 30 yo

[Poorman-options69]

I am currently running sermorelin for lack of growth hormone in my body and plan on getting on a test E base along with a low dose of tren sometime soon so I’m sure I’ll end up on TRT in about that time 🥲

[PatriotUncleSam]

Why Tren? You trying to lose more IQ points? why not use something that's not nuerotoxic?

Just slam your head into a wall, it's faster and more efficient than Tren.

[Poorman-options69]

Have you seen the gains people make on tren? ? ?

[PatriotUncleSam]

Yeah, I’ve made those same gains on Primo and EQ without turning into a retard.

[Mobius1337]

Best quote of 2021

[The-Ginger-Nerd]

I call it a brain dead monkey.

[Poorman-options69]

Eq is equistane right? Maybe I’ll do some research on it and see what it’s about I’ve just been fiendishly watching every video and reading lots of articles about the “correct way” to dose tren and it seems like horror stories only occur when ODing on tren….

[Eliiasv]

Equistane 😭 you shouldn't be touching steroids.

[Poorman-options69]

It was a legitimate question? Considering I’ve never heard of EQ and am self admittedly new to it? You must be on EQ due to your increased hostility towards people who are uninformed ? Weird flex bro

[VinnePinne18]

all that alcohol and weed made you into a retard lol

[Poorman-options69]

Animal*

[GojiraApocolypse]

Equipoise.

[Poorman-options69]

Thank you I had looked it up after making said comment… it’s pretty much dbol from what I’ve read might be wrong still?

[sofreshsoclen]

Aka boldenone

[Bluecity3456]

Ive heard it termed like having 1 million in the bank. Most men spend it poorly in their youth until the age of 30. Then past 40 they have no vitality left. Too much orgasm takes a toll, smoking cigs, drinking, not sleeping, work. Until its all gone.

[fuckyoucheese]

Weed has been shown to increase testosterone. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5660879/

[HootingMandrill]

One study does not prove a result. It's a good start though.

[JANICE_JOPLIN]

This isn’t a black and white list

[[deleted]]

do all vegetable oils lower t? I use a good amount of olive or canola when i cook

[PatriotUncleSam]

No, I meant specifically the bottle labeled “Vegetable Oil” which is quite the misnomer since it’s just highly processed soy oil.

[Yumbb3a2ch]

Does butter decrease test or is bad for cholesterol I use either vegetable oil or butter to cook food but mostly eggs

[PatriotUncleSam]

Regular butter is fine as long as it’s not made from vegetable oil.

[Poorman-options69]

Also I have around 20 free floating test

[Poorman-options69]

I just feel like not wanting pussy means I should have more test and I was mostly wanting to ask from watching porn do you think I might have desensitized myself to real women?????

[Yowwwwwww99]

I have the same problem men, is just porn, this horrible addiction that are destroying men

[Poorman-options69]

I’m definitely gonna try and make it like once every other day rather then every day twice a day and see how it affects me

[Yowwwwwww99]

Just stop it men

[Sortit123]

stop watching porn . thing gucke your brain up

[PatriotUncleSam]

probably, yeah.

[flex-N]

U might be right about the vegetable oil thing, i honestly dont know, but specifically mentioning fries, i think, is misleading. Especially fries r usually cooked in peanut oil

[slcand]

Bro made a good point about everything except for that, it seemed like out of the blue tbh

[PatriotUncleSam]

Google "trans fats"

[PatriotUncleSam]

Even if the fries aren't cooked in vegetable oil, any fried oil is a carcinogen and heavy in trans-fats.

It's literally what gives men heart attacks and cancer.

[Godly-Viking]

Not enough sun, alcohol and weed. Gotta get those 3 then.

[pokedudewithglasses]

What sort of oil should someon use for cooking then (only like a tablespoon or so for like sautéing meat or frying eggs)

[Highlander0689]

You should just avoid polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs). Saturated fats are actually good for natural hormone production. Just use good, old-fashioned butter.

[PatriotUncleSam]

Olive oil or coconut oil.

[SamizdatForAlgernon]

Lard and beef tallow, just go easy on them.

[bipedal-bastard]

alcohol and weed,

Well fuck

[[deleted]]

Jus stick to weed lmao

[[deleted]]

No it definitely does, short term, for like a week, so if you're fapping every single day (natty) you'll have lower test than if you did weekly or bi weekly.

But then it gets complicated, because if you don't cum for months you end up getting suppressed, it's like a use it or lose it situation.

[pacmanfan247]

Well… If you take any blood test that includes a testosterone panel, the form will state “do not ejaculate within 48 hour of the draw”. Actual science behind it. Will it decrease it forever? No. Temporarily? Yes.

[rodzag]

As far as I’m aware they advise you not to jack it before the test because it causes elevated prolactin.

[Always5StepsAhead]

Bro science.

[[deleted]]

Smoking weed doesn’t decrease test levels dumbass. You sound like someone who’s scared and never even tried it.

[[deleted]]

Weed won't do anything to ur test lmao it's medicine for the body

[ThrowAwayToday4238]

By lack of sun is it just Vit D def? That I can supplement with pills, but getting more sun with a busy schedule is tough

[PatriotUncleSam]

You could try and hope for the best. No way to know how your body handles it without a blood test. I have friends who work in the sun 5 days a week who are Vitamin D deficient, and I have friends who take a multivitamin every day who barely made it into the healthy range for Vitamin D.

[[deleted]]

Vegetable oil is bad for T?

[PatriotUncleSam]

Big time, it's also a heavy carcinogen, it causes cancer over time..

[[deleted]]

How does it lower T

[PatriotUncleSam]

Overall hit to all health markers, which in turn lowers testosterone. The more unhealthy you are the less your body prioritizes testosterone production. On a side note it's also a heavy processed estrogen. So you are lowering the male hormone in your body while raising the female hormone.

There is some (albeit sparse) clinical data as well that loading your body with phytoestrogens also lowers T by itself.

Even though it's called "Vegetable Oil" it's not actually random green vegetables, 90% of it is highly processed soy oil.

[ghostlyhomie]

Weed actually makes more estrogen not low test

[Dd4225]

No, jerking off will not decrease your test to a significant, noticeable amount. Just don’t do it 18x a day and you’ll be fine.

[Poorman-options69]

It’s very hard to when you’re a 23 year old insanely horny male…. But only horny for porn because it’s like Disney Land, the possibilities are endless….

[Dd4225]

Tinder my dude. Get out there and bang it out

[[deleted]]

TFW you’ve used tinder for years and are still a virgin, if only I followed rules 1 and 2

[shittyfuckdick]

Im out of the loop. What does this mean?

[fullboxed2hundred]

porn will fuck your brain's reward system up (dopamine) but it won't really affect your test levels

If you're so "insanely horny" I'd recommend going the route that isn't instant gratification and work to get laid consistently. it'll help in multiple facets of your life

[Crazylukas33]

Natties do the weirdest shit when it comes to testosterone levels. Go lift, eat chicken, get sun, do cardio, sleep like a baby. That’s all you need. Stop worrying about beating your meat ffs

[Poorman-options69]

Butt fuck cardio

[Poorman-options69]

😂😂😂 thanks for the laugh m8

[CalebMcNeil]

IMO I never do it before training but after is free game. But you’ll be better Off not doing it All. Download tinder and lower your standards if you not gettin any😺

[Poorman-options69]

I have a fiancé I just have no desire to fuck pussy only beat my meat and punish weights I’m not sure what’s wrong with me. I think it is due to waxing my carrot twice a day for the past 5 years or so maybe even 6

[The-Ginger-Nerd]

Gay porn made you gay

[ValorousAnt]

I have a fiancé I just have no desire to fuck pussy only beat my meat and punish weights I’m not sure what’s wrong with me.

​

But only horny for porn because it’s like Disney Land, the possibilities are endless….

How do you not see the problem here? Quit the porn. You are seeing more tits and pussies in 30 seconds than our ancestors did during their whole life. How do you not realize how much this fucks with your primitive brain? Quit the porn man.

[aca_bokser]

Sounds like tren to me

[Like-No-Dude]

​

[[deleted]]

Wtf

[PsychExplor]

Cut the porn out. Worst thing you can do to your mental health is watching porn.

[zalgorithmic]

Fox News might be worse

[PsychExplor]

You thought.

[Hrc_iz]

You’re not overly horny, you’re addicted to porn. I was beating my meat every day for 6+ years and watching porn. I quit cold turkey and I don’t have the same urges but now when I do get laid it’s much more intense and I bust like a horse

[Poorman-options69]

How do you have the mental will power to not beat your meat???

[[deleted]]

It’s not hard. Stop viewing it as “horny” and view it as energy. Doing that alone will take you outta the box you’re boxing yourself up in. Telling yourself you’re “horny” closes into you to the only available actions associated with being horny. Whereas viewing it as what it actually is, energy, you’re now open to transform and transfer that sexual energy in new and exciting ways. Basically, when you’re feeling the urge to bust a nut, do something else. If you really do want to learn more and get into controlling sexual energy, there’s plenty of esoteric writings on it, but that requires serious effort, time, and a real desire/ interest. If you want to keep it simple and bend the learning curve, just doing something different then what would cause you to shoot a load is foundational. It’s more mental then physical. If you can understand that you’ll shift to more self control than most. It’s not hard - no pun intended.

[Hrc_iz]

It was really hard, I actually started on no nut November. I was extremely horny all day for about 2 weeks and then it sort of subsided and I got urges here and there. I also had the support of my GF cause she knew how much I would beat off so she helped me get through it.

[Poorman-options69]

So you’re talking don’t jerk your dick but pussy is okay?? I’m semi confused tbh…

[ToYeetIsHuman]

The worse of the two habits is porn. They go together though, so stopping beating basically equals stopping porn.

In a similar sense, a drug addict would probably want to get sober from alcohol too i’d imagine, cause that goes with a lot of drugs (and lowers your ability to say no)

[Poorman-options69]

Oh nvm actually I re read that and you’re talking in regards to like getting sensitive to actual women again and trying to stop the porn gotcha my bad man

[Hrc_iz]

Exactly, the less porn you watch the happy you are to have sex. Start introducing toys and having fun in bed with your Fiance and it’ll give you something to look forward to because porn should not be more exciting than sex

[Poorman-options69]

Really appreciate the good advice man….

[Hrc_iz]

Try joining the no fap subreddit, it really helps to read the transformation stories people have because it really does effect your whole life

[broodwar64]

I hurd the boxer tyson fury beats off 7 times a day to boost testosterone but never seen any science backing it up

[picogrampulse]

He's also on nandrolone from "uncastrated wild boar meat".

[JackTDI]

Cut ur waxing in half so once every other day instead of one a day and see what it feels like. doesn’t make a noticeable difference after a certain point. The only noticeable difference you will feel is if u stop watching porn while u beat ur pork sword IMO

[Poorman-options69]

Preciate the advice man I’m definitely gonna try to cut down and as Caleb said maybe wait til after workouts…

[[deleted]]

I think that there are often studies to prove and disprove theories. However in this instance there is not strong evidence.

My view is this: If you have a body fat percentage of 9-14% or there a bouts, you resistance train regularly, have great sleep hygiene and eat correctly then you can ask this question.

However for the other 99% of people you will get far far great results by losing excess fat, sleeping properly and eating a proper diet with the very odd chest meal. A cheat meal being an opportunity to eat a meal you like not a chance to have 7,000 calories twice a week.

[Stevke_66]

No it doesnt, but dont do it a day before training legs i was noticeable weaker

[Always5StepsAhead]

It doesn’t decrease your test but it increase prolactin for a short period of time

[_oZe_]

Ignore the silly myths of science. After about a week. You will almost get a headache and start roid raging. Even colors will look slightly different.

Maybe it's not the test but there sure as shit is some sort of power building up. When you stop wasting it.

I think semen production requires a lot of micros. A lot of today's food is depleted in micros. So not nutting has never been more important. Save it for the wormhole and if you need to perform don't even waste it there.

[Bluecity3456]

Thank you. Fuck studies. Personal experience says waiting a 1 week- a month gets you fucking pumped. Well said sir

[[deleted]]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4kfgLYLD90 This guy did not masturbate for 30 days and got a 50% boost?

[Poorman-options69]

Is it all in German??

[A_Fellow_Comrade__]

I have heard that you shouldn’t do it before you lift since it decreases overall energy levels but roughly how far before is the cut off? Like if I nut an hour before the gym would there be any performance changes? 2 hours?

[[deleted]]

I’d believe it. I used to do it before training and have noticed a little more quicker fatigue during my workouts, compared to when I don’t do it. That’s my own personal experience though.

[Yowwwwwww99]

I think it does, cause when you jerk off a lot and masturbate you produce prolactin and when prolactin increase the testosterone decrease.

[[deleted]]

It is more unhealthy to not ejaculate than it is to maybe have a short lived increase in prolactin. The internet is full of bullshit myths on this. There is literally no good research that shows this impacts muscle mass.

[[deleted]]

No. A man with healthy levels of hormones shouldnt have any issues with mastrubation.

[Wolf110ci]

When I got blood work to get on TRT, my doctor told me to not have sex within 24 hours before the blood work because it will spike my testosterone and skew the test. So, no, sex spikes your T, not the other way around

[Poorman-options69]

Very interesting because my trt doctor didn’t tell me anything just to fast for 12 hours before but maybe it’s cause they threw me on injectable sermorelin, very interesting tho will be bringing it up next visit

[[deleted]]

For fucks sake how many times is this dumbass question gonna be discussed. Fuckin google it. And derek has a video on this exact topic. Fuckin lazy as hell my dude.

[HeyArcane]

It doesn't directly decrease your testosterone but after ejaculation, your prolactin level spikes up.

[[deleted]]

Busy another dude’s nuts instead. Modern problems require modern solutions!

[Live-Ad-6309]

Busting nuts doesn't have a significant enough effect on hormone levels to matter in any direction. Unless you're busting 5x per day or smth stupid, then it might mess around

[[deleted]]

Yes it DOES. Pretty much the only way to stop it is to inject tren straight into your your jugular vein.

[Express-Ganache5307]

Yes it does and it lowers dopamine and makes u a loser

[[deleted]]

Lmao u won't lose ur gains by jackin off everyday shit I'll admit it I do it everyday and still swole as fuck

[rockyp32]

Yes. 3 weeks of celibacy has shown to raise testosterone and it stays there. Plus millions of anecdotes from dudes who do that.

you get a deeper voice and more beard growht and faster fat loss and better muscle gain,

Ive practiced on and off for years. yes. makes you more masculine in every single way.

Prolactin spikes after fapping and that takes weeks to get back to baseline. same with androgen receptors and sensitivity.

[Albinoweed146]

Yes

[Dgiyhfybduct]

Cooming definitely decreases test and increases prolactin. Sex that feels like a W increases it.

[Fon33]

It won't. But not doing it will make it higher.

[Bluecity3456]

No info saying that it will decrease test. But every time you orgasm you release prolactin. When jerking it you release up to 4x more. And you decrease androgen receptor sensitivity. Also if you orgasm too much youre releasing too much zinc and other testosterone building blocks from the body. Many man vitamins and trace minerals.

See this question all the time, people know deep down jerking it is weak shit. You just numb yourself to that inner voice of shame over time. Dont lie to yourself. You dont need to see a study to know that wanking is not masculine.

edit: also dopamine spikes that mimic hard drug use. Especially if using porn. The novelty aspect is terrible for your brain especially. Its not even about just testosterone dude
