Question

Hello,

Thanks for your query on Lybrate

"As"per your clinical history is concerned your testosterone level is normal and masturbation has no relation with it and in my opinion every day two times is not necessary you can do it 2-3 days difference.

Do few natural methods to increase your level more-

1)Try to lose weight if overweight.

2) Weightlifting is the most effective form of exercise for boosting testosterone levels. For best results, lift heavier weights with fewer repetitions. Stick with weight-lifting exercises like bench presses, squats, deadlifts and shoulder presses. Do weight-lifting exercises for 30 minutes, 4 or 5 times a week.

3)Do sleep for 10 hours at night and less time decreases testosterone level.

4)Do meditation and yoga for 30 minutes daily to reduce stress.

5)Omega-3 fats are healthy fats that can help boost your testosterone level. You can find omega-3 fats in nuts, avocados, unheated nut oil, fish, egg yolks, olives and olive oil. Monounsaturated fat has a direct effect on your testosterone level. Peanuts, peanut butter, palm oil and canola oil contain this kind of fat.so try to include these products in your diets and add a multivitamin caps like [Rejuvit Plus]at bedtime regularly.

6)Try to limit alcohol and stop smoking

Hope that helps

Testosterone levels neither increase or decrease with masturbation. 290 is ok. Masturbation is a very healthy form of sexual outlet, do not feel guilty about it. Once or twice a day is very much normal. Nearly 99% of men and more than 60% of women masturbate. It starts from adolescence and goes on in some people even till death. The pleasure (orgasm) from masturbation is said to be unique from sexual intercourse. In men, most of the liquid contains only water and some fructose and hormones. Hence it does not drain your energy. Many equate masturbation/ seminal fluid loss to lack of energy, impotency and so on. Many quacks, religious heads and pseudo healers also propagate the idea that masturbation is a disorder/ and wrongful behaviour and instil fear on the mind of innocent men and women (we can see posters in train and bus stand, offering help for this behaviour). Consult a psychiatrist, if you have excessive masturbation guilt or compulsive masturbation. Compulsive masturbation is when a person continues with frequent masturbation neglecting his/ her other work like education, job or social obligations. In fact masturbation reduces the sexual tension and helps focus on task at hand better.
