Does masturbation cause muscle loss?

Question

Accepted Answer

No, masturbation does not cause muscle loss. There is no medical evidence that masturbation reduces muscle mass or causes a lasting decrease in testosterone levels that would affect muscle growth. If you are trying to build muscle, habits such as regular strength training, eating enough protein and calories, getting good-quality sleep, and staying consistent matter much more.
So, if you exercise regularly and follow a balanced diet, you do not need to worry that masturbation will make you lose muscle or slow down your gym progress.
