Good: This is good. It pulls the testes up out of the way....like in cold weather. The Sumu Wrestlers develop the muscle for protection during the rather tough pull and tugs on the lower body bands.

Ive been masturbating vigorously and think I notice a shrinkage in testes. Have I caused damage to testosterone/androgen/other sex hormones, ability to grow muscle and libido or is it just anxiety? Can I recover? I also have lymphangiosclerosis?
