Semen Retention and Testosterone

Saw this on reddit its good motivation to keep going

 

Good stuff!

The testosterone level also depends on other factors like the season and living habits. But it cannot be denied that the initial increase during the first few months of SR is very noticeable.

 

Excellent post.

 

Briliant thank you

Since my country banning reddit i cant aee this post until u bring it

 

Very motivational post. Thanks!

 

Good for him but I wonder if after an extended period it starts going down again? I.e. your body says, I'm not getting any sex so why should I keep pumping out testosterone and it turns its energies elsewhere? Full disclosure, I have been retaining 18+ months and think this may be happening with me, therefore the question.

 

Very nice thanks for the docs .

 

good post, thank you for it. i have been thinking about doing testosterone tests but i think this might help me to believe that sr does indeed boost testosterone. also about it dropping down at the end, i see no problem about it, too high testosterone can be bad as well. also it is still twice the amount it was before he started so major gain. would like to know if it will decline even more though as time progresses. but thanks for sharing!

 

Seems the main effect of testosterone is to ensure reproduction.

When you are most fertile i.e. you have several months of semen retention then your testosterone levels are elevated to make you seek sex. Then when an opportunity to mate with a fertile female comes along your testosterone levels sky-rocket, bang her a few times and move on, or keep her around to mate with her again next month.

Either way human mating behaviour is cyclical, usually sexual activity until satiation followed by large periods of abstinence when you get ready for the next opportunity to mate to come along.

If you are not engaging in sexual thoughts and you are completely clean then it makes sense that your testosterone levels would drop because your body thinks that there are not any opportunities to mate at present. I think testosterone highly depends on your state of mind and current environment.

 

True story:
Some days when i go running (like yesterday), i run so much i begin to overhear some ignorant remarks from idiots like: "he must have taken 'codeine' or something." Crazy.

If they only knew where all that energy is coming from. Testosterone.
