Question 1

hi, i have been prescribed 20mg prednisone for chronic back pain due to a stress fracture in my back. im 17, i was wondering how much the side effects of the prednisone would affect my sex drive/testosterone and masturbation? please advise, thanks?

Accepted Answer

NOTHING PERMANENT: I would really address this important question to whomever prescribed the prednisone. Prednisone is a strong medication and 20mg is a significant dose. I imagine it is only a brief period of time you will be on this medication so nothing permanent should occur to your sex drive.

Question 2

does over-masturbation (1-2 times daily) cause loss of testosterone and growth hormone? i masturbated a lot this weekend and my penis hurts a bit!

Accepted Answer

Take it easy: Masturbation is normal at every age and pain may be related to friction or "overuse". At your age your testosterone is very rapidly replenished and it will never affect your growth hormones.

Question 3

does masturbating a lot effect testosterone levels in men?

Accepted Answer

No: People do not gain nor lose testosterone due to masturbation. That means masturbating more often will not cause a testosterone problem. Likewise, a lack of masturbation does not cause a testosterone problem.

Question 4

does masturbating lower your testosterone levels? i do it at least twice a week?

Accepted Answer

: No, masturbation does not lower testosterone levels. There are no bad side effects of masturbation, as long as it is done in moderation. Enjoy.

Question 5

masturbating and testosterone level are they related. what are the positive effect?

Accepted Answer

Masturbation: Masturbation does not influence testosterone in any way.

Question 6

if i stop masturbating will i increase testosterone, figured i'd get the true answer here?

Accepted Answer

T level and Masturba: No, masturbation will not lower testosterone level. It is in fact high t levels that are responsible for the sex drive and urge to masturbate.

Question 7

please tell me how long it takes for to get the testosterone back to normal after years of masturbation?

Accepted Answer

It does not!: Masturbation does not decrease testosterone vvto any extent.  Therefore the answer is that any drop in testosterone would be do to factors other than masturbation!

Question 8

will masturbating 3 times a day reduce testosterone ? i'm 18, male already with low t (diagnosed twice) is it ok? i get bored

Accepted Answer

Masturbation: Masturbation and sexual activity have no connection to your testosterone level.

Question 9

Accepted Answer
