MASTURBATION AND MUSCLE GAINS
by Vince DelMonte
A date with Palmela Handerson; hand to gland combat; badgering the witness; liquidating the inventory; playing five against one. Given that an overwhelming majority of men masturbate at some point in their lives [1], it’s no surprise that we’ve come up with a plethora of witty euphemisms to describe the act. And, I suppose, I shouldn’t be surprised how frequently I get bombarded by questions from guys wondering if working their “love muscle” is hindering their ability to increase the size of their skeletal muscles. In short, they want to know whether masturbating kills your gains, and in this article I set out to answer that very question.
Unless you’re really poor at it, the end result of masturbation is ejaculation and orgasm. Fear of losing out on precious muscle gains typically stems from two similar ideas: (1) ejaculate contains zinc and, therefore, ejaculation can cause zinc deficiency (which can lead to decreased testosterone levels); and (2) testosterone levels decrease following ejaculation (as a direct result of hormonal changes during orgasm). Sounds scary! Before we get too hot and bothered, though, let’s take a closer look at these ideas to find out whether they have merit.
