Is It Healthy To Hold Back Masturbation?
Hello, I am a healthy 25 year old man and I am holding back masturbation for more than a week now. In my perception, without masturbating for several days I feel like having a higher testosterone level and being able to get more things done (work etc.). However, after a week or so I feel a strong urgency to masturbate, but try not to because I know the next day I have a lot of things to do and I don't want to lose this "energy" or "drive". Is it healthy to "hold it back" even when the urgency is strong?
Thanks in advance for your answer!

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You are free to do whatever you like. Holding back is not dangerous at all, and the increased sexual tension arising from not masturbating is likely resulting in increased energy levels.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
