Does masturbation help with weight loss?

I'm trying to lose some weight and looking into all possible angles. Someone in a group chat joked about masturbation helping with weight loss. I know it sounds silly, but I'm curious if there's any truth to it.

Hey, please don't fall for these strange internet myths. It does not affect your weight in any way, good or bad. Just focus on eating well, staying active, and don't stress yourself out with these thoughts.

I was looking into this out of curiosity and learned that you only burn about 5 to 10 calories during the act. So unfortunately, it won't help you shed any real weight. You still need proper diet and exercise for that.

No, it doesn't help with weight loss at all! It's just a common myth. Walking and cutting down on sugar is much more effective.

Let's be realistic: there are no shortcuts to weight loss. Masturbation won't help you burn fat. Save your time and focus on a structured 30-minute workout daily and a calorie-controlled meal plan.

Haha, I wish this was true, bro! College would have made us all super fit by now. But seriously, it has zero impact on weight, you still have to hit the gym.

From a biological perspective, the energy expenditure is way too low to contribute to fat loss. Think of it as a normal body process, not a workout. For healthy weight loss, focus on balanced nutrition and consistent exercise.

I regularly consult specialists at a top hospital for my fitness goals. They clearly told me that masturbation has no physiological role in weight loss. If you are struggling with weight, consult a registered dietitian for a scientific plan.

I completely understand how stressful it is when you are trying to find answers about your body. Rest assured, this habit has no connection to weight loss. Try not to let these thoughts make you anxious; you are doing just fine.
