One vocal medical expert says men signing up for the 30-day no-masturbation challenge are playing themselves. Popularized on discussion boards like Reddit, proponents claim that a masturbation-free month can lead to greater mental clarity, a boost in testosterone, and enhanced athletic abilities. But one doctor says there’s no substantial research to back up the medical claims—and warns that the challenge could have detrimental effects.
First, the doctor explained that the lack of release could reduce the quality of your sperm: “As you abstain from sex, sperm number and volume increases over time, but the quality of sperm decreases,” she claimed. She additionally alleged that one analysis of 5,000 semen samples uncovered that sperm mobility was lower in men who hadn’t ejaculated in more than a week. Similarly, the doc declared that nine separate studies found no correlation between improved athletic performance and abstaining from sex or masturbation—instead, the studies found that not orgasming before exercise made no difference in various athletic realms, including focus and hand-grip strength.
