(PDF) Endocrine response to masturbation-induced orgasm in healthy men following a 3-week sexual abstinence

PDF | This current study examined the effect of a 3-week period of sexual abstinence on the neuroendocrine response to masturbation-induced orgasm. Hormonal and cardiovascular parameters were examined in ten healthy adult men during sexual arousal and masturbation-induced orgasm....

www.researchgate.net

partici-pants reported a longer duration (before, 2.1  0.3;
after, 3.5  0.3; Z )2.34, P0.019) and greater
intensity (before, 2.5  0.2; after, 3.7  0.3; Z )2.28,
P0.023) of orgasm following abstinence as compared to the controlled session

Possible reasons for increase in T:

On the other hand, the increased testosterone concentrations may have resulted from enhanced sensi-tivity to anticipatory cues, since testosterone secretion increases in anticipation of sexual interaction [18]. Thus,the increase in testosterone following abstinence mayhave resulted from increased anticipation of the eroticfilm.

Interesting statement from the paper:

Specifcally, acute increases in testosterone have
possible neural rewarding qualities [2]; this effect is
potentially mediated by dopaminergic systems [14]. With
regard to our current results, one can speculate that
sexual abstinence has a twofold effect on this interaction
pattern: It may enhance the anticipated rewarding
properties of re-initiated sexual activity and it may lower
the threshold at which testosterone produces rewarding
effects. Both factors may interact to trigger the elevated
testosterone levels observed following abstinence

@Ritalincel

TLDR:

the current study demonstrated that
masturbation-induced orgasm produces pronounced
elevated cardiovascular responses and plasma concen-
trations of catecholamines and prolactin. Although
these responses were unaltered by acute abstinence from
sexual activity, abstinence increased subjective sexual
arousal and the quality of the orgasm, as well as basal
testosterone concentrations.

I am just unsure about their conclusion of higher basal T levels, because they only measures 10 minutes before watching porn.

I wonder how much I messed myself up. I used to do it daily for the past 5-6 years. Only for a few months now have I reduced it to once a week.

@extramchromosome,

Don't focus on nofap theories. A complete meme. Nofap wont change absolutely anything. ZERO. Fap if you feel like it, don't fap if you don't feel like it. Don't have time for extensive write up of why nofap is a meme right now.

 

[Madness]

I thought abstaining for 7 days was best?

 

[ChoSeungHui]

nofed

 

[RedPilledStemcel]

Note this is in the 60 minutes after fapping from 3 weeks of no fap. Probably nothing compared to roids.

Yup.

JFL, and people just believe this dude, its his personal opinion no need to feel that its more credible than any other person's opinion on nofap.

 

[DrTony]

Enjoy your placebo! I remember when I was a teen i was so incredibly susceptible to all kinds of placebo -great times. JFL at this coping believing transient minor elevations of testosterone within the physiological range has ANY effect on muscle growth, strength, libido, or mood or development of sexual secondary characteristics. Everything you experience is completely psychosomatic and in turn contigent on your deeply held beliefs of 1) what testosterone elevations can do to you, 2) your core belief that nofap will increase your testosterone 3) increased focus/monitoring on various parameters/symptoms you feel no fap will affect.

Crashed estrogen? Is this through an actual lab measurement of your estradiol levels? Normal estradiol levels are extremely important for men... if its too low you will feel miserable, if its too high you will also feel miserable. Lots of effects normally associated with testosterone (like sexual libido and function) are actually attributable to estrogen. Lots of seminal papers on this.

Let's say someone crashed his E with letrozole (insane ik). Ofcourse this will send the person to hell. But any drugs that could tone down these sides?

It may enhance the anticipated rewarding properties of re-initiated sexual activity

This is common knowledge. The longer you wait to get your nut off, the better it feels. Any guy can tell you that.

may lower the threshold at which testosterone produces rewarding effects. Both factors may interact to trigger the elevated testosterone levels observed following abstinence

This part confused me. Why would the rewarding effects of T on its own trigger elevated T levels themselves?

@extramchromosome,

NoFap isn't a meme for people who have porn and masturbation addiction. I used to be able to jerk off 3-4 times of day and honestly it's a waste of time and severely lowers your libido in the long run. After the second time when you're not even horny anymore all you're doing is ruining your pleasure receptors and damaging your sex drive. Porn is even worse in that regard.

 

[Extra Chromosome]

I think this is talking about up-regulating the sensitivity of the dopaminergic system.

 

[LightingFraud]

I think this is talking about up-regulating the sensitivity of the dopaminergic system.

In other words, to a low IQ cell, it's makes the dopamine receptors more sensitive, which increases the effects of T?

 

[Extra Chromosome]

Yes.
And the amount of T required to feel pleasure is less.

 

[LightingFraud]

Yes.
And the amount of T required to feel pleasure is less.

But why would that have any effect on the amount of actual T in your system?

 

[Extra Chromosome]

I don't think it is related...
Higher T from the study wasn't caused by higher sensitivity. Both were caused from abstinence.
