It's OK. There is no problem. You might have heard following myths. Masturbation causes asymmetry: NO. Most people do masturbate, but most people don't have asymmetry. Lot of nutrients are lost: NO. A bodybuilder consumes around 200g protein a day. 1 g protein may be lost by one ejaculation. 70% of semen is water. Is it a big deal? It mess up with hormone system: NO. Masturbation reduces stress. Thus cortisol (stress hormone which reduces muscle growth and increases fat storage) lewels go down. It helps to reduce fat as well as to build muscle. Bodybuilding causes infertility: (Not related to this question, but I'm writing this since I saw some Anon guy's answer) Some steroid hormones can cause infertility. But lifting weight and eating healthy foods is perfectly safe. Some Additional information: Do not masturbate right before a cardio workout. You may get exhausted and won't have enough energy for workout. Include plenty of Zinc and Vitamin D in your food. These nutients have a chance of geting exhausted by sexual activities. Oyster is the best source for these. Sex won't effect your bodybuilding gains. But research show that people who have regular sex is less successful in bodybuilding and fitness. This is because, visiting bars / pubs and doing nightouts is often necessary to get one night stands. In such situations, sex can indirectly effect your bodybuilding. If you don't take drugs and alcohol and get proper sleep, sex won't effect bodybuilding.
