I thought this article might explain something I've wondered about for many years. As a teenager, I went for long periods (sometimes up to 2-3 months) without masturbating. Partly for perceived athletic ability ("It'll drain your semen!") and partly for spiritual benefits (Ghandi and other Indian mystics practiced physical abstinence in many forms to increase spirituality; the denial of the physical). Every once in awhile I'd fall off the wagon and jack off. Interestingly, I wasn't shy about it. All my friends knew I didn't masturbate.
I always wondered if this might have increased my testosterone levels and might explain my well-developed masculine characteristics: large testicles, musculature, athleticism, chest and body hair (shaving once or twice a day in high school), alpha behavior, etc. Or could it maybe explain my small cock?
This article sheds light on the subject. Or does it?
