A member asked:
Does masterbating affect muscle growth ? does it decrease testosterone level ? in how time does the lowered testosterone level become normal ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Masturbation is: normal, healthy, and natural. It does not cause any negative effects on your muscles or testosterone levels. In fact, boys who masturbate a lot may have elevated testosterone levels. You are likely feeling guilty about this due to social pressures. Don't worry about what others tell you about this private matter. Chances are the people who are telling you to stop are doing it also.
