A member asked:

Does masturbating a lot effect testosterone levels in men?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

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.
