Physiologically. I contend that the tissue changes that lead to growth made during the workout are there when the workout ends and that contraction after ejaculation won’t change or reverse them.This is not the thread to discuss that topic. I’m simply pointing out that I have yet to hear a real physiologic basis for post-ejaculation contraction hindering gains.
Thanks for reading and commenting on it. Actually, I’ve seen more on the subject than the Wikipedia articles, but my post in that thread was what I could find most quickly.
I cannot argue with your contention that growth comes from tissue changes during the workout, not after. There is an alternate train of thought about the potential advantages of ‘remaining at size’ after the workout. I haven’t yet done things like wrapping or hanging or icing, but those are some of the other measures that some take to stay larger for as long as possible after their workout on the theory that it’s better to be larger as you’re healing (which, in turn, assumes the damage and healing paradigm).
So, the ‘why that helps’ is buying into the theory that you want to heal in the enlarged state - and it is certainly arguable that ejaculation leads to more vasodilation (and reduction in size) than not ejaculating. For more on that, you might find Physiology of Penile Erection interesting. It can be found at http://physrev. physiology.org/ … pe2=tf_ipsecsha . Lots of food for thought there.
As to whether that actually makes a difference, I don’t know. It’s a theory, and absent definitive evidence one way or another, it’s up to each individual to make the determination on how ejaculating (or not) after a workout works for them.
And as to whether this is the thread to discuss that topic, I also agree; leave that to the The “Does Sex/Masturbation Hinder Gains” Debate thread. However, the original poster asked

I’m assuming that he found both of our comments useful and on-topic from his point of view.
