Delayed ejaculation DE does not appear to be linked to serum testosterone levels, according to new research in the Journal of Sexual Medicine. Sometimes, they have other ejaculatory disorders, such as anejaculation inability to ejaculate , perceived ejaculate volume decrease, and decreased force of ejaculation. Some men with DE are unable to reach orgasm at all. Not surprisingly, DE can be problematic, often leading to relationship issues, low sex drive, performance anxiety, poor self-esteem, and lower sexual frequency. This study aimed to assess time frames and explore the possible role of testosterone levels. Researchers analyzed data from North American men who had been screened for a larger study on the effectiveness of testosterone replacement in men with ejaculatory dysfunction and low testosterone. The men completed questionnaires on sexual function.

Although it seems simple enough, the male orgasm is actually a complex process. Men achieve orgasm through a series of steps involving a number of organs, hormones, blood vessels, and nerves working together. The typical result is ejaculation of fluid that may contain sperm through strong muscle contractions.

Does masturbation reduce testosterone levels? The short answer is no, masturbation — or indeed ejaculation in any form — does not affect your male hormone to any significant extent. In fact, science has not produced conclusive evidence to show that there is a link between testosterone and masturbation at all. Whilst one or two studies suggest that masturbation lowers testosterone, others state precisely the opposite. The truth is that the effect either way is probably negligible.
