Semen Retention and Testosterone: Debunking Claims

Ejaculation frequency and testosterone levels have been a topic of debate. While some claim that semen retention boosts testosterone, studies show mixed results. A study cited by Huberman in 2003 found a 145.7% increase in testosterone levels after 7 days of abstinence. However, this study was retracted due to data reliability issues. Another 2021 analysis concluded that claims of abstinence's impact on testosterone levels need caution.
