How many hours before can I masturbate before workout? Please suggest.

Question

Great question, and one I get all the time! Men and women climax differently, even though sexual arousal is a similar process. After a man climaxes (aka experiences orgasm) he?ll almost immediately relax, his penis will lose its erection and he will go through a period of time where he feels drowsy, typically about 30?45 minutes for a healthy young male. This is called the refractory period, which is a recovery phase during which its difficult to have another erection. It can take longer to recovery for older men, or depending on the state of health. I usually recommend to my readers to just stay put in bed during this time, or just relax. You?re not doing any good moving around when its natural to enjoy the by-product of masturbation.

For women, it?s completely different. Women do not experience a refractory period, so they can go straight from sex or masturbation to working out almost immediately. Which is typically why they?re ready and waiting for round two of sex or orgasm when most men are already passed out!

Hello- masturbation is not good for anyone. One of the pathological consequences of over masturbation is the buildup of cortisol in the body. Cortisol, known as a stress hormone, creates a host of harmful side effects when overproduced. It commonly leads to chronic fatigue that differs from fatigue due to drug abuse, lack of sleep or poor diet. Chronic & adrenal fatigue resulting from o.m. Develops in stages. Early on, signs of uncharacteristic tiredness appear. Exhaustion that not only persist, but grows over time. By the time it develops into a serious condition (stemming from severe sexual addiction), an individual experiences irritability, concentrate issues and sluggishness.
