Okay, bros. As the wise sage Jerry Seinfeld once said about, uh, self-pleasure, “We have to do it. It’s part of our lifestyle. It’s like, uh…shaving.”
BUT, what if we decided to just completely stop? You know, like forever? What would the repercussions be?
Thankfully for us, the smart folks over at AsapSCIENCE were wondering the same thing recently and put together a little educational video on the topic.
Here’s some of what they learned. And remember, this is science talking. No snickering.
• Some studies claim that stopping cold turkey increases testosterone levels greatly. Other studies say it has no effect at all. So, who knows?
• Also, abstaining, despite some suggestions to the contrary, does not really help sexual performance, including ED and being a preemie.
• Science does, however, say that doing that will help improve sleep, reduce stress and pain, improve your immune system, and several other health benefits (see video below).
• It can even reduce prostate cancer risk in men.
So basically, if you ever decide to stop choking the chicken on a permanent basis, which is fine, this is a free country and all, you would be losing out on all of those potential health benefits mentioned above. But hey, you do you.
