Does masturbation affect gains?

So I started jelqing yesterday, hoping for some girth gains to catch up with my length (6"/4.7") and I was wondering, if jerking it every other day does any harm or good for the progress?

Also why we are at it, is jelqing the best exercise for early girth gains or should I do something else with jelqing since I'm a beginner?

Masturbating every other day shouldn't effect your gains.

As a beginner jelqing is the best exercise that you should be doing for now. After a few months you should be conditioned enough to move on to some advance girth exercises.

Welcome to the forum!

Frivolous masturbation should be avoided. Route your ejaculations towards stamina training and live sexual activity.

The jelq is a good exercise to start with.

I'm new as well, but I've been at it for a month and, at first, I would masturbate to finish after every session, now I just edge for about 20 minutes or so depending on time available. What I found is I have better EQ which in turn helps sex, and also my next session. Just my point of view though. Not sure how proven this is.
