After working out, body gets hungry for nutrients and proteins to build and maintain muscles which it gets from existing or newly eaten products within 2 hours thats why it is iften said that we must eat something nutritious after work out sessions as well. So, if you have provided your body with the required proteins and nutrients then masturbation would be nullified, else, the other way, it may actually affect your muscle growth. Since sperm is nothing but accumulation of best quality nutrients; thus there is a slight probability that it may hinder body growth.

so what is suggested is that you always maintain a good diet after workout and after masturbation as well.
