Edging increased my testosterone!!

[pdot Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close pdot]

I don't post much just lurk and soak up information from this great site. I have been without porn/masturbation/edging for about 5 weeks. First 2 weeks I felt great, on the 3rd week I started to feel alittle weaker and emotional. I have done this my cycle my times, this is usually when I just ejaculate to feel normal. Well this time I decided I was not going to ejaculate, I knew edging could give me the hormonal benefits of ejaculation without the lows. I always had a problem at the PONR, so i decided to stop when pre-cum started to come out and that worked well, .

Anyway I have been on a never ending quest to get my testosterone levels up has been hovering at the 400 ng/dL range. I was feeling so good decided to get it checked, last time I tested it was 454 it had gone down from 485, just got my results today and its 557!! I'm so pumped, never been in the 500 range, think i'll edge to celebrate.

edit:not sure if this is right forum

Keep an eye on your free testosterone level. You are tracking total testosterone, which is important but not as much as your free.

Congrats on your progress.

Thats great. I am hooked on edging too. I stopped cumming when masturbating. How did you test your testosterone?

Testosterone levels are very variable and jump around from test to test for no apparent reason. They are hard to get accurate, when done by a trained tech by blood test at a pathology clinic.

Depends on the time of day too

That's interesting indeed. Hard to believe, but interesting.

I agree ,thats why I always test between 8am and 9am, and test both saliva for free testoterone (more accurate then blood test), and blood for total testosterone.

I cant believe it either but i will not complain. I will retest blood and saliva in a month, it should go up.

Uh huh you are more accurate than the pathology labs and trained techs at home.
Btw I believe edging can increase test ,I am not in favour of prolonged non ejaculation or taking home tests too serious though.

I go to the blood draw "lab" in the morning, and send my saliva from early morning samples.

just got my free testosterone results, they are 59 pg/ml, thats down from 95.7 pg/ml. So I must of raised my SHBG. Whatever happened no more edging for me. Will retest again after abstinence with no edging.

Why no more edging? Any specific reason?
