Is it true that if you masturbate, you don't have as much energy as when you don't? And if so, how much?

If you were to masturbate let's say once a day would you not have as much energy as if you weren't diong it at all? And if that is true how much energy do you lose?

    Stricto sensu, yes, it is true: like any other physical activity, masturbating uses some energy; the amount used is negligible, though, so in fact it is a factor that has no real influence.

    However, it is true that masturbation and orgasm have a short-term influence on your hormonal balance. For example, during and after an orgasm, endorphins (hormones causing pleasure and having a relaxing effect) are released, which often causes the temporary feeling of being satisfied, relaxed, or even tired.

    The energy thing is mostly (at least in the case of normal people) an urban legend coming from ancient beliefs that thought that semen contained a part of male energy, and was thus to be sparingly used to not deplete the manliness of the soul (and similar beliefs existed for women, of course).

    well here's the thing. When you masturbate your body releases hormones, when you don't your body releases hormones. The only difference is that when you don't masturbate for a while, your body chemistry changes and releases different pheremones that will attract women. Its also a physiological change in you as well. You feel a certain sexual tension if you don't masturbate for a while, correct? Then you feel a relaxation when its released. When you feel the tension it also changes how you interact and approach the opposite sex. So yes, you do build up a sexual energy that the opposite sex can sense. Basic primal instincts my friend. So I'd lay off choking the chicken for a while and build up some vigor.

    Technically that is true, bet the amount of energy that is drained in so small to even be considered.

    Everything burns energy, this is no exception.

    I would say no.

    It depends on the person. I know my boyfriend masturbates in the mornings to get a good jump start for work, but I personally want to take a nap after I have an orgasm.

    myth all our lives we keep coming pl read this and relax ur mind and enjoy ur coming

    ‘’ OH I’M COMING’’

    As you came the day was nice and warm,

    Every one was brimming with joy,

    Oh it’s a boy, it’s a boy.

    When you came home the neighbourhood was happy

    It’s another son added to the family, that’s snappy.

    To ward off an evil eye, your mom fetched a cake,

    For every one to, of it have a take.

    When you grew up and went to school,

    Your teacher looked up and down and said,

    Come you are so cute, so beautiful, so handsome, so cool,

    Please come, do come, come, come everyday to school.

    Then one night all of a sudden in your dreams you came,

    Oh as you woke up, in a shiver you were all a quiver,

    And wondered what was happening but you are lucky,

    In your times you have Yahoo to ask, why it’s that you are coming.

    Then as you grew a bit bolder and accepted the coming more openly,

    Till one day Martha asked about your come and asked for sharing.

    Soon the game had begun and every day after school you ran

    And said Mary, Martha and who ever you be, marry me,

    I’m coming to thee.

    Then when in a moment of excitation you were trapped,

    They said the baby is coming.

    As times passed on and after many a coming,

    You suddenly fell ill and was about to go,

    When your spouse put her ears to your lips

    To hear what u had to say

    You said ‘’ I’m coming……’’

    And before you came you just passed away,

    That was the end of your coming.

    Please dear do come, do come back once again,

    Even if you have to in my dream,

    But please darling do come, come once again,

    It was only then we all started to scream.

    I think it's different for men and women. Men are usually more tired after masturbating because the levels of testosterone go down. For women though, the testosterone levels go up, so they are typically more energized. I know that's how it works for me and my hubby.

    It really varies. Some guys are zombies, others are just the same. It likely depends on what impact it has, time, things like that.
