Does ejaculation reduce testosterone levels?

I know it may seem like an odd question, but I havent been able to find much regarding this topic.

Would I get better results of gaining muscle by keeping my boys in there, or does it make a difference?
 
Probably wont make a difference especially if your a normal trainer. If you were a hardcore bodybuilder maybe but other than that no.
 
I've had some experiences where I've liberated my boys the day before, and went on to have great workouts, but other exerperiences where I'd bust the night before or maybe a few hours before working out and I would have terrible, terrible workouts.

Similarly, I believe I tend to be more aggressive during my workout when I haven't busted in a while. I also believe that it is in these times that I often challenge and break my PR's.

I think you should find out what works for you. Treat each ejaculation period/withholding period as it's own individual test or experiment.

And yes, some studies have found a tangible drop in testosterone after ejaculation. I don't know the names of these studies so, there's no way for either of us to check the validity.

i very much agree with you. It gives you that strive to want to JUST put a **** load of weight and see if you can lift it. much like my workout yesterday, the boys hadnt gone out in a while, and i reached TWO new PR's!!!!
 
iv had a time where i wacked it then i went to workout like 30 minutes later and i was a beast. i dont know why. i didnt feel tired and i felt stronger. wierd
 
On a similar note, is there any way to naturally boost testosterone? Mine is bottomed out, and I've got the blood tests to prove it. I'm like at 223. The problem seems to be that my LH levels are low, which is the hormone made by the pituitary that signals testosterone production. I had an MRI done yesterday to rule out a tumor, but it came back normal. Too much sex/whacking can't be the issue, it's all I can do to do that twice a week due to no interest. I'm getting plenty of exercise, but I don't think I'm over-training. My diet is well balanced. I did lose some weight this winter, but nothing extreme, and I'm not losing anymore. I got down far enough that my abs are pretty defined though. I just don't know what to do, I don't know why it would be low, especially due to the low LH levels if its not a tumor.
 
doesnt your doctor have any advice for you? Are your test levels so low that you can get legal test injectiones?
ZMA is a suppliment that is SAID to rise test levels, although i dont know if it would work in your case, but hell, it could be worth a try.
 
corndoggy, that's seriously an issue for you to be discussing with your doctor. prohormones are banned in the usa and if you have a serious problem with your test, you can get legal injections from a medical professional.
 
Talk to your doc...if it's as bad as you say, nothing short of anabolics will help you. **** like herbs aren't going to bring you out of the red.
 
I don't see the doctor again until the end of May. I'll ask him about injections or some other hormone replacement at that point though.
 
Also low bone density, and slow(er) healing and recovering after injuries and workouts.

Sex drive is the biggest thing though. I'm 31, in the best shape of my life, and I could almost care less about sex right now. My levels could get alot worse too, at least I have _something_ left.
 
Be sure to check with your doc on it. And, be sure to have him refer your to an "endocrinologist" to diagnose and treat your condition.

So if you have high testosterone levels you don't care about sex? Or is it the other way round?
