did you feel like your test (sex drive, assertiveness, mood, ability to concentrate) and/or confidence was lowered

It will lower serum test but also it will lower the amount of androgen receptors in particular brain regions. So it feminizes your brain. All orgasms do this.

no

briefly

it lowers androgen receptor densities in certain reward-oriented parts of the brain for a short time by way of flooding the brain with prolactin. But it's basically over with 4-8 hours. Nofap is a meme.

Also it lowers dopamine signalling so this also will lower confidence.

I haven't jerked off yet this year. I see maybe 10 min of porn per day max just browsing the internet. I was pretty horny earlier today. Maybe I'll jerk next time I get horny. Thx biz.

It does lower serum test. There is a 7 day cycle of a lowering after ejaculation and then a peak after seven days abstinence.There was a study called
>A research on the relationship between ejaculation and serum testosterone level in men
This study is behind a paywall though. You can find the abstract though which states the basics. Ejaculation also raises prolactin which has an antagonistic effect on test.

Jerking off has been proven to lower androgen receptors sensitivity, which means that it doesn't necessarily fuck with your testosterone but it fucks with the "sensors" all around your body that use your testosterone.
