    Semen is stored in the prostate, not the balls just fyi.

    Do I think this person got so good at jerking it that he burned out his sexual functioning, or do I think this guy just aged out of puberty and his bad diet and lifestyle crashed his testosterone?

      I’ve always had a bad diet. In my late teens I was physically active and had a super high libido, which till I got my first girlfriend meant jerking it and when I got my first girlfriend, we did it up to 5 times a day (though usually less). Mid 20s I was single most of the time and, you guessed it, took care of my own needs. Late 20s, in a relationship, my libido had decreased considerably, I did think maybe it was all the masturbation, but looking back, there was a lot of stress and my weight was the highest it has ever been.

      Now I’m in my 30s, dumped my ex-wife, have lost some of the weight, am more physically active again and it’s summertime. Had some kinda thing last winter that didn’t turn into a real relationship, went 3 times a day with her when she stayed at my place and still wanted more. Now it’s summer, I’m more active physically and I’m even hornier.

      Excessive masturbation has had precisely zero long-term effect on me. Short term? Absolutely. But long term, the thing that has affected me the most has been physical activity, body weight, stress level, and surprisingly enough, the seasons. Lots of difference between wintertime here with 6 hour days and mostly overcast skies, everything is muddy, etc… vs middle of June, there’s basically no darkness, sun sets at 10 PM and rises at 3 AM, but it doesn’t even get dark between sunset and sunrise… There’s just so much excess energy. August is even warmer than June, but at least we have nights now.
