Masturbation boosts testosterone levels?
Aug 20, 2014

Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
Higher serum Testosterone levels are seen during abstinence (3 weeks in cited study).
Abstinence means no sexual intercourse or masturbation
Non-significant Luteinizing Hormone increases have also been noted. The difference between abstinence and non-abstinence appears to be about 0.5ng/ml when averaged out.

Although higher testosterone levels are seen with abstinence,orgasm does not acutely affect testosterone levels in the blood.
Although there is not much evidence for the spike in testosterone during abstinence, there does not appear to be counter evidence at the moment; it is an understudied topic.

However ,Masturbation may have subtle effects on testosterone levels, testosterone levels result from other factors that relate to elements of overall physical health rather than masturbation .
