Does masterbation cause weight loss?

My brother mentioned something about masturbation and weight loss, and I was quite surprised. Does masturbation actually cause weight loss? I thought it had no connection to body weight.

I was actually quite embarrassed to ask anyone about this. I've been losing a bit of weight recently and was wondering if this was the reason. Is it really true that it doesn't cause weakness or weight loss? Please guide me gently.

From a medical standpoint, there is no biological mechanism connecting masturbation to weight loss. Weight changes are primarily governed by metabolic rate, diet, and endocrine health. If you are experiencing unexpected weight loss, it is highly recommended to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation.

Do not pay attention to these old wives' tales. If you are losing weight, it is likely because you are not eating properly or are too stressed. Focus on having three solid, home-cooked meals every day and get at least eight hours of sleep. That is all you need.

I used to have the same fear when I lost 4 kgs in a month and blamed this habit. But after seeing a physician, I realized it was just my hectic work schedule and skipping meals. I've recovered my healthy weight now just by eating properly, so don't stress.

No way, that's just a total myth. You don't lose weight by doing this; you lose weight by being in a calorie deficit. Stop worrying about baseless internet rumors and just focus on your gym routine and diet if you want real results.
