If bored with: Masturbating so much - please give yourself permission to stop or reduce. If masturbating this often due to boredom - recommend that you develop other areas of your life. Spend time with others, engage in sports, get hobbies, etc. Your excessive masturbation will not increase or decrease your testosterone level.

No: Masturbation will not deplete your sex hormone levels. This is due to another medical cause that needs to be looked at.
