Is testosterone lost after masturbation?

No: This is just one more myth. An adult who has told you something like this should know better, or may be trying to deceive you. Perhaps there is a sensible adult in your own family that you can talk to about this side of yourself, and generally how to learn about your changing body and prepare for your life as an adult.
