Masturbation

[James]

I've been happily married to the same gorgeous woman for 10 years. My libido was always fairly high even with low testosterone, but since starting testosterone a couple years back, my libido has been really strong. If I'm not having sex with my wife multiple times a week, I'm masturbating. I feel the need to ejaculate every day. However when I do, I noticed a massive decrease in energy, focus, and most importantly...'drive.' My desire and momentum to do anything creative falls significantly short compared to where it was prior to ejaculating. Its amazing how I'm able to have what most would consider a fairly successful career. Have any of you guys ever gone for long spells without ejaculating? And if so, what effect did that have on your physically and psychologically? There's a lot of stuff on the internet about this topic but like everything else, including TRT, everybody reports different things and I found a lot of conflicting information.

lol, only one way to find out, quit jerking off for a week and see how you feel

James, I've just tried for 5 days straight. It drove me crazy, I would rather make love than masturbate. But I think regularly ejaculating sperm, makes sex a lot better. Afterwards I'm full of energy, but I know we are all different. I love quickies, right before I leave for work, or before I workout.

Vince - that's interesting how you are full of energy after ejaculating. I'm full of energy before and depleted after. Those first 5 days have to be the most challenging. I suppose it gets easier after that.

I have no idea why ejaculation gives me so much energy. I thought that perhaps I would be a better lover if I stopped ejaculating so much, it definitely had a negative effect on my love making.

Vince - I'm strongly the opposite. Hopefully other guys will comment as a suspect your reaction is in the minority.

I am drained (in more ways than one) when I ejaculate. It take away much motivation to do much. That is why I reserve it or night time. This has gotten worse as I age.

The intensity of orgasm is the same or stronger.

Prolactin and oxytocin production go up dramatically during orgasms. I have not found any papers that discuss if these two increase more as we age.

That's exactly what I experience. I think the lesson is to not ejaculate until later in the evening. Mine are most intense if I can wait until night. Both me and my wife work out of the house, so sometimes that's tough to do.
