Masturbation or not?

Hi, so I’m in the newbie routine, and I have been there for about a month and a half, I kinda moved a little the routine from 5 days training and 2 days resting to 3 days training 1 day resting, because I felt that I was overdoing it a little.

Thing is, I wanted to know if masturbating before or after basic training kills any potential growth, or if it is ok, because normally I wait at least 2 hours after masturbating to do training, and wait at least 2 hours after training to masturbate, but I wanted to know if it can kill potential growth or if it doesn’t even matter.

Thanks ind advance :)

It doesn’t affect growth either before or after.

Well a lot of folks including me witnessed more gains without masturbation.

I didn’t like it afterward, but sometimes in order for me to even do jelqs at less than full-erection I have to masturbate first.

I definitely think it could affect growth doing it afterward, simply by adding to minor injuries and increasing the trauma beyond a healthy point. If you do a heavy routine, I wouldn’t masturbate afterward… but a light routine it probably wouldn’t matter. Just my opinion.

If ejaculation lowers down your hardness or other indicators then it could get in the way.
