Question:
How often should a 40 year old masturbate? Does masturbating too often lower the natural occurring testosterone level in the body, and especially when working out?
Answer:
There
is no ‘normal’ amount of masturbation . . . just do what seems
normal to you as long as it doesn’t interfere with work and relationships.
It’s a very normal release of tension. I have friends who I consider
normal who masturbate five times a day to once a month. We are all different.
Some just need more of a release of sexual tension than others.
I’m not aware of masturbation having a major effect on testosterone levels, especially in reference to building muscle mass. If any, I wonder if it may increase testosterone by depleting sperm, and stimulating the brain to produce more FSH/LH . . . but this is just theoretically.
I’d say just go for it. Just keep working out . . . and that can include the one-handed variety.
