This is such a cool discussion because it challenges one of those “bro science” ideas that we’ve all heard but never really questioned. I remember in high school, my coach told us to avoid jerking off before games because it would make us weak, and I just took his word for it. But now, I realize there’s little real evidence to back that up.
The funny thing is, I’ve actually felt MORE focused after masturbating sometimes. Maybe it’s because I get rid of any pent-up tension, so I can concentrate better. On the flip side, if I do it excessively or without enough sleep, then yeah, I might feel sluggish. But that’s probably just from overdoing it rather than the act itself.
I also think people’s experiences vary based on how they personally respond to orgasm. Some guys get sleepy, while others feel relieved and energized. That’s probably why we see different opinions on whether it helps or hurts performance. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer here.
Ultimately, I think it’s about listening to your body. If you don’t notice any loss of energy or stamina, then there’s no reason to believe the myth. It’s all about balance and how you manage your overall lifestyle.
