What is your optimum retention period?

[Finn The Human]

Thank you.

This is not really satisfying, though:


What happens after day 8 of retention? Why does it feel like a lot happens during the first few days of retention but testosterone stays pretty much constant?

Need more data! Will search for more papers and post here if I find any.

Anyone knows how to measure testosterone on yourselfes? ^^

Probably, the body try to regulate itself and keep its own "balance". You're not adding external testosterone (like injections), but only abstaining from sexual activity. If you lift weights, the body produce more testosterone for increasing mass. If you abstain from sex, the body set the testosterone to standard levels, since you don't need it.

There are some domestic kits that can track the testosterone levels. Otherwise, the other way is to do blood exams.

This paper doesn't mean you can’t boost your testosterone with tangible methods

When I was doing IVF, It was considered not to hold onto it for more than seven days. After that anything you have is going to be rotten.

The male organism is highly efficient at producing and storing sperm of course. Going “rotten” isn’t going to happen until the sperm comes into contact with air (leaves the body). Also a sperm cycle takes two months. So going rotten after 7 days is preposterous.
