    Does anyone here understand the relationship between sex and testosterone well enough to explain something to me?

    How is it that a man that faps often, can have very high T, lose all his hair, and still be thin, while another man who is not fapping and is completely flatlined (low T) gains a whole lot of muscle?

    Is it because when a person stops fapping and having sex, he has more unbound testosterone which adheres to muscle increasing his mass?

    Appreciate some insight!

    So, SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin is what keeps testosterone bound up and unusable by the body. When a man stops fapping, his sex drive goes down (flatlines), he stops producing (SHBG), the T starts to unbind building mass and making him more manly.

    If this is the case, the most masculine men are the least sexually active? Aside from steroid users...

    I might have just answered my own question...

    I've never researched that Diesel but what you said makes sense. It's just logical to me that if you aren't engaging in sexual activity you have more Testosterone for other things.

    If what I said was true, then whether your fapping or not, you still produce the same amount of T.

    So, lets say fapper has a bound T level of 580 with 20 free T then possibly the same guy abstaining might have say...380 bound and 220 free. A bound T level of 380 would flatline someone.

    Im just speculating here because I have not been able to find any information on it...apparently almost everone faps and all studies are based on that...

    High testosterone levels lead you to high sexual desire. Unless you're taking hormones.

    Free testosterone is what matters for muscle building though. So if free T goes up. That's awesome.

    Im thinking a guy could have high T, and no sex drive. Because thats how I feel. I have gained a lot of muscle since nofap, and I dont workout except running and daily chores. I currently have a low sex drive.

    I have all these questions, no one seems to know. The bodybuilding forums are based on growth hormones and steroids and clinical research is all based on regular ejaculation

    My big question is: How much bigger am I going to get? Im already the biggest Ive ever been, and mass wise Its getting more difficult to move around. My food bill is going up. Im getting more hairy. My voice is getting louder...feels like Im turning into a grizzly!
