Because every time a guy ejaculates, testosterone drops precipitously for 24 to 48 hours and a hormone called prolactin that most people don't know about goes up. Prolactin makes you tired and lazy and low testosterone makes you tired and lazy and fat. So every time we ejaculate, we're dropping testosterone and we're raising this other hormone.

And that's why we have a refractory period, because prolactin goes up over time. So when you're young, you can go over and over. And as you age, you get higher levels of prolactin.

So I'm like, that sounds like bullshit. I'm going to go test this. And for a year, I published my happiness data and my ejaculation data and my frequency of sex and masturbation and all that in one of my books. And the Taoists are right.
