I see it a lot on Reddit and other seedy social medias like (insert number)chan here. It's just bad science.

It's my job to know about this stuff. I make money via market analysis and study. And what I can tell you is not only will masturbating not hurt your testosterone levels, it'll probably help them. Not because magically you'll make more, making more testosterone than your body naturally does on it's own is actually incredibly hard.

But masturbation reduces cortisol. (OBVIOUSLY...) and where there's no cortisol, there's testosterone. Basically they are complete opposites despite both deriving from cholesterol.

This all just sounds like elaborate cuckoldery to once again torture men and make them abstain even more. Women are out there sucking a million dicks, and meanwhile men are convincing themselves they shouldn't even be able to get the most basic of release. That's fucking disgusting. If women weren't such cunts we'd have somewhere to dump our seed now wouldn't we? Anti-masturbation is just another covert way to be anti-man, and I'm saying that from a material perspective of I've been doing a lot of investigating on raising testosterone. From what I can tell the only mineral that MIGHT is boron. Which isn't even a mineral that grows naturally on the planet. It exists in honey in small traces but if you want to fiddle around with your genetics you'd be better off taking supplements. And I'm not even guaranteeing you anything.

People often confuse anabolic effects with just boom, now you're a manly man with a big burly beard, a high sex drive, and making pussies wet. That's not how biology works.

TL;DR: If you gotta fap than fap fam. I'm not going to judge you, God isn't going to judge you, sex has been known to be far healthier than masturbation, but that doesn't suddenly make masturbation toxic and you know what is toxic? A culture that leaves men without sex.
