is mastrubation causes stamina loss - #22558

Navya

I am super confused about something and need some honest thoughts. My buddy mentioned that is mastrubation causes stamina loss and honestly, I didn’t believe him at first. But then, I started thinking about my own experiences. Like, there was this time I was training for a race, and I noticed that after some... personal time, I felt kinda sluggish and not really up for the long runs I usually smash out. Crazy, right? I thought it was just all in my head or maybe I was just having an off week. But now, I’m wondering if there’s something to this whole stamina loss thing after mastrubation. I started checking stuff online, and some websites were like, "Oh, it totally does!" while others said, "No way!" Like, I can’t even keep track anymore. Also, should I be looking into how often is too much? Or, is this all just one big myth? Please help, because I’m kinda freaking out about if this is gonna affect my training or my overall energy levels. Is mastrubation causes stamina loss really a thing? What does the research say?

Questions about whether masturbation causes stamina loss in activities like running are quite common and, the straightforward answer is no, masturbation does not directly cause a decrease in physical stamina or energy levels. The idea that it does is more of a myth than a medically backed fact. From a physiological standpoint, masturbation is a normal sexual activity that doesn’t deplete the body of energy in a way that would impact physical performance or endurance. However, it’s worth noting that individual experiences can vary, and psychological or subjective factors could play a role in perceived decreases in energy or motivation after masturbation. Fatigue or sluggishness might be temporary but more linked to other factors like the time of day, sleep quality, emotional state, or even hydration levels. If you’re experiencing reduced motivation or energy levels more broadly in your life, it could be useful to look at other lifestyle aspects—diet, sleep patterns, stress levels, and training load. These can have a significantly more substantial impact on your physical performance and well-being. Regarding frequency, there isn’t a universally “normal” amount when it comes to masturbation—it’s more about how it fits into your life without interfering with your daily activities or training regimen. If you find it becoming compulsive or interfering with other important activities, assessing your routine or speaking with a healthcare professional might be beneficial. Always remember that what’s most important here is how you feel physically and mentally. If any patterns continue to concern you or affect your quality of life—whether it’s about energy levels or any other health aspect—it’s a good idea to bring these up with a qualified healthcare provider.
