No, but absolutely.

Absolutely.

You have that Thai food every day.

Yeah.

You're not going to enjoy it.

Exactly.

So then the question is, of course, what was happening to the testosterone?

Okay.

So generally speaking, the testosterone levels didn't change throughout the entire experiment.

The researchers wrote baseline testosterone were, quote, similar before and after abstinence.

And in fact, the only time they saw a little bit of a bump in testosterone levels was after the fellas had their big wank on day 21.

Oh.

Right.

Which is odd because this is somehow being used as evidence that not fapping bumps up testosterone levels.

But to get the little boost of testosterone, you ultimately needed to wank.

So what is interesting is that other studies have shown this kind of thing too, that after you orgasm, and this is for both men and women, you do get a little bump of testosterone.

Okay.

It doesn't last very long.

It's just a little bump.

But it's something that we've seen in experiment after experiment.
