i was interested in the abstinence that boosts testosterone so i tried it, i guess? (speaking by personal experience so just take it as some random person's rumbling or smth idk) in the first abstinence, most i could do is just 7 days becuase during the recent days your libido is at maximum level so i was pretty much aroused for most of the time but i can feel the testosterone on the 7th day. (sex drive max, basically every man's basic trait just improved just a little bit) I would assume that during the 8th day are the remains of the testosterone boost on the 7th day (a quick google search says that your testosterone boosts for 50% for 7 days without masturbating) but as the months go by i can notice things that mostly affect my personality like being more of a douchebag than usual basically became a social butterfly, more open and confidence towards things and more motivation to do things rather in the past being the most miserable glob of meat in the house. I think this method may or not convince you to try but even if it doesn't really work or it just doesn't make that sense it's really self fulfilling once you get to the 9th day ( finishing the period and could finally masturbate to that porn you were saving up for today) rather than masturbating 3-5 times everyday this was a good lesson of self control and discipline and hopefully happiness. I would really not claim that the testosterone boost works that well since it bases on my personal experience and i cannot really give you solid evidence on it but if you decide to try it then good luck.
