Does masturbating affect weight loss?

I'm actively trying to lose weight and looking at all lifestyle factors. My friend suggested that masturbating might affect weight loss. Is there any genuine connection or impact it has on losing weight?

I used to blame all my physical changes on silly things instead of getting checked, which was a huge mistake. Masturbation has nothing to do with weight loss. If you are losing weight suddenly without trying, please go get your thyroid and blood sugar tested immediately.

No way, bro. I've been hitting the gym and calorie counting for six months, and this habit hasn't made any difference to my fat loss journey. Weight loss only depends on your diet deficit and workouts, don't worry about this.

This doesn't affect your weight at all. For natural weight management, drinking warm water with lemon in the morning and sleeping on time helps. But if you have extreme fatigue or sudden weight changes, it's always better to consult a doctor.

I was actually wondering about this too because my scale didn't budge for weeks, and I started overthinking if my habits were the reason. Does anyone else feel like their energy levels drop after it, or is it just my imagination?

With my PCOS, weight loss is already a huge struggle and I track everything very carefully. From what I have researched, masturbation doesn't affect your metabolism or weight either way. If your hormones are fluctuating, it is best to discuss a proper diet plan with your gynecologist.
