Orgasm involves lots of hormones, right?

[T-Dawg]

So I was thinking, orgasms are largely in your head, reactions to the sex hormones (like testosterone or estrogen) produced, right? What do these hormones do besides stimulate pleasure?
For example, doesn't testosterone also make muscles grow? So theoretically, by masturbating, one could increase muscle mass? Or is this ridiculous?

 

[Sunstone]

Oxytocin is quite heavily implicated in orgasms, especially in women. It seems that in women, the ogasmic contractions of the sex organs are caused by oxytocin. But the molecule plays an even greater role than that. During orgasm, huge amounts of it are released, which causes us -- especially women -- to have warm and fuzzy feelings of trust and well being. Moreover, the molecule is essential to human bonding.

 

[Sunstone]

Testosterone is another interesting molecule of emotion. In both men and women, chemically free testosterone is what makes us horny. But it is at least 20 times more present in men than in women! Of course, that seems to account for some of the differences between the sexes when it comes to getting horny, etc.

Testosterone is the molecule responsible for the male rolling over and distancing himself after sex. In that respect, it tends to counter the warm and fuzzy feelings produced by oxytocin.

Testosterone is also the molecule that prompts men to have extremely vivid, very sexually explicit fantasies about women (or other men). In one experiment, women were injected with male levels of testosterone and those women reported having extremely vivid, very sexually explicit fantasies such as they had never had before.

Testosterone does seem to increase muscle mass, but I think it primarily increases muscle definition. I'm not so sure about the mass, though.

Thats right young one, Just jump at it and masturbate all you want, no shame no problem, you got Science behind you.

Of course, if you are religious you may get a problem, but I know nothing about that.

The hormones are part of our emotional bonds to other humans/animals, it is part of our social functions you can say.

I do not think that maturbation increases "muscle mass".In fact you have the testoterone either way.

What increases "muscle mass" is excersising your muscles.In males and females.Use it or lose it.So I suppose masturbation could increase the muscle mass in your hand maybe.But then again you coudl also develope repetative motion disease..(tendonitis) in your hand too.

If you want "muscle mass' in other words lifts weights or whatever..Use your muscles they will build up.

Dude..you trust me right?

Maybe you cant help it but you tend to analyze such simple and natural things like masturbation that I really worry about you.

You analyze it to the point sometimes I think you have GOT to be kidding me...You are obviously very intelligent..If you havent figured out yet that you masturbate or you dont..it boils down to a physical release kind of like getting a little excersize ..In the overall scenerio its not going to hurt you and can have benefits beyond the simple immediate pleasure.

Just think of it is like a sneeze or something.Its that simple.Its not going to hurt you and it could help you and no "profound" results are going to come except you may be a little less tense and avoid over the long hall getting prostate cancer in 40 years .(please do NOT analyze that).

It itches you scratch it..That simple hun..

It also has to do with hair...

3. Is the amount of body hair directly proportional to the amount of testosterone in my body?

Studies have shown a proportional relationship of testosterone levels to the amount of body hair. The hair growth response to testosterone differs in different parts of the body. Hence, in some men, for example, testosterone promotes hair growth in the abdomen and back while hair growth is suppressed in the scalp, leading to male pattern baldness. Genetics plays a major role in the expression of the 5-alpha reductase enzyme, which converts testosterone to the hair-altering compound dihydrotestosterone, leading to a family tendency towards balding. The drug finasteride (propecia) inhibits the action of 5-alpha reductase, and can reverse male pattern baldness in some men.

Testosterone: Common Questions

I don't advise a haircut, man. All hairdressers are in the employment of the government. Hairs are your aerials. They pick up signals from the cosmos, and transmit them directly into the brain. This is the reason bald-headed men are uptight.

Where you planning on making me all horney Babe?...... :areyoucra

 

[Mr Cheese]

Other unmentioned benefits of male masturbation include:

stress relief
keeping the pipes clean, getting rid of poorly and sick sperm which is an actual need for men
blindness (just kidding)

and lastly of course, excessive masturbation (some reports say before and up to the age of 25)is thought to help lessen prostate cancer....

Heck there must be something in there, women that get "exposed" to male "juices" have their own hormone relase, as such, these women have been shown to be happier than those that have no "exposure"..... Isn't nature wonderful?

Just make sure you wash yourself
so go forth and prevent cancer...

I will NEVER get Prostate Cancer then. Besides being a nympho in my early age having sex with anything with two legs, breast and vagina, I ,asturbated when I didnt... mmmmm. So no need to feel guilty?

If anything bad about it, I blame it to my naive youth, what did I know?

Besides the protein shake for the girlies, are you saying they also release hormones making them happier? Dude, I am going to have a talk to my wife.... Mmm, Science is so useful.

Besides the sarcasm in your posts....

Yes, medical studies show that women that "have" are happier than those that don't..due to homrones released by women due to "exposure"

When you say "exposure", is there a more detailed explanation of that?

Woman who swallow semen?
Woman who gets semen on their hands?
Woman who smear semen over themselves?

What is meant by "exposure" in this case? If not well defined and observed, it could simple be that these woman have a better sex life and this shows itself in a "happier" life, and the actual semen is irrelevant, hence my question.

WE arent talking about a WOMANS benefit to sperm..

The subject matter is if a man can build muscle mass from masturbation..(because of testosterone)

Ya'll need to stay on track.

Preverts!

But.. I .. I was just asking.. For the benefit of my Wife.. Of course...

As a note, I have been told my semen taste very good in comparison to OTHER men, is the quality of sperm anything you know about Cheese?

As I have not studied it, I assume it is because I use no drugs at all, No Alcohl, no smoking, I do not drink Coffe or Tea either and generally drink Fresh Milk and so on, so I made the Assumption that this is because my Semen "taste better" then the average person who, generally, at a minimum, drink beer and other alcoholic drug liquids as well as COFFE, which I think could be responsible...

Anyway, Sorry Dallas, just want to learn damnit.. :sad:

So because of what you have "learned" ..How is that related to "muscle mass"?

Thats all.

Meh, the thing about testosterone and muscle mass was just an example. I'm actually more worried about the effect all these chemicals have on my brain. I know for a fact that I've become more sex-concious since I began masturbating, although that may well have to do with age rather than any concious activities. And I've heard that looking up porn at a young age can jack up one's mind. Any info on this?

I think the problem people encounter concerning sexual energy, is associating negative emotions with their sexual nature. So if you are told, while growing up, how bad it is to look at porn but you do it anyway for masturbation purposes, the possibility of associating this negativity with your sexual nature is more likely. Sex is a natural and harmonious aspect of life and should not be mixed up with negative emotions such as guilt or shame. Yet society tends to promote just that very thing, often times through religion or just from a misunderstanding by parents and other adults that are influences on the youth.
