Does Having More Sex Raise Testosterone Levels in Men?

The body requires testosterone for a lot of things, particularly in men.

Testosterone works regulating sex drive, bone and muscle mass, fat distribution, red blood cells, and strength.

And that’s on top of its job regulating sperm.

So it’s not surprising that having low testosterone levels make us feel less than ourselves.

We may feel less animated, less enthusiastic, and our lust for sex may all but disappear.

As we men get older, sometimes our bodies make less testosterone.

Other changes in how our bodies function can also cause reduced testosterone production.

This is the time when some doctors prescribe testosterone supplements — pills, gels, or injections.

But these supplements could have dangerous consequences.

It’s important to try to learn how to get real testosterone before trying those supplements.

But the good news is that something as natural as increasing the amount of sex you have helps you out.

A lot.

More sex can significantly elevate the amount of testosterone we produce.

Plus, it’s much more fun than supplements.

Supplemented testosterone feels great in the beginning.

We feel strong, have extra energy, have an incredible sex drive, and our whole quality of life improves.

But testosterone replacement therapy also has risks that need you need to consider.

Some of these risks are extremely serious, and some are irreversible — some are even deadly.

The study we’re looking at today that having more sex can drastically increase your testosterone levels.

Researchers studied 83 men suffering from some form of erectile dysfunction.

And they studied a group of 38 men with normal sexual function — these men made up the control group.

Due to their erectile dysfunction, they were engaging in less sexual activity than the control group.

Researchers checked every participant’s serum testosterone levels before beginning any treatment.

And then after the ED group received treatment, researchers tested EVERYONE again.

The men with impotence had serum testosterone levels much lower than the men with normal erectile function.

Now, the ED group received different treatments — not everyone tried the same thing.

Some of the men received psychological interventions to correct their erectile dysfunction.

Others received medical procedures.

And others received mechanical interventions that included pumps, vacuums, and penile prostheses.

Many of these men recovered from their ED and could resume sexual activity.

But some were still not able to engage in sexual relations.

The researchers took this group of unhappy men and compared their testosterone levels to the levels in the recovered men.

And then they checked serum testosterone in all the men three months after the happier recovered men resumed sexual activity.

The striking finding concerns the men who recovered who resumed their sex lives.

When researchers compared the results between the start and the end for these men, they found that the levels increased dramatically.

In some cases, testosterone levels doubled or even tripled!

For the poor men whose treatments didn’t work, their testosterone levels didn’t change at all.

Researchers believe that their levels did not increase because they were not able to have sex.

So, researchers concluded that increased sexual activity directly relates to increased testosterone.

Which means — if you have low testosterone and can have sex, you can improve your testosterone with your partner’s help!

And given a chioce between more sex and testosterone replacement, I think we’d all choose more sex.
