ENDOCRINE EFFECTS OF MASTURBATION IN MEN
K. PURVIS, B.-M. LANDGREN, Z. CEKAN and E. DICZFALUSY

The levels of pregnenolone, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHA), androstenedione, testosterone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), oestrone, oestradiol, cortisol and luteinizing hormone (LH) were measured in the peripheral plasma of a group of young, apparently healthy males before and after masturbation. The same steroids were also determined in a control study, in which the psychological anticipation of masturbation was encouraged, but the physical act was not carried out. The plasma levels of all steroids were significantly increased after masturbation, whereas steroid levels remained unchanged in the control study. The most marked changes after masturbation were observed in pregnenolone and DHA levels. No alterations were observed in the plasma levels of LH.

Both before and after masturbation plasma levels of testosterone were significantly correlated to those of DHT and oestradiol, but not to those of the other steroids studied. On the other hand, cortisol levels were significantly correlated to those of pregnenolone, DHA, androstenedione and oestrone.

In the same subjects, the levels of pregnenolone, DHA, androstenedione, testosterone and DHT in seminal plasma were also estimated; they were all significantly correlated to the levels of the corresponding steroid in the systemic blood withdrawn both before and after masturbation.

As a practical consequence, the results indicate that whenever both blood and semen are analysed, blood sampling must precede semen collection.

if you stop mb you wont see results (if there are any) because it takes a really long time to balance your hormones plus your diet also constitutes how you hormones are regulated.

it will take a lot longer than a week to see results, again, if there are any.

I think you're right, but do you have any sources or more info? I'm interested in reading about how long it takes.

Sleep 8 hours a night at least, at a proper time, and reduce masturbation to once a week, and you shouldn't go at it for more than 20 mins.
