I am not sure about HGH but I am very sure about testosterone levels and YES, ejaculation will decrease testosterone levels. Testosterone is used in the production of sperm so when you eject sperm your body needs to make more and it uses the testosterone in your body to do so.
I am very suprised at the number of people who are claiming this does not affect testosterone levels.

Well if that was the case I wouldn't be much bigger than an ant, as for the amount of testosterone, it might lower it temporally. depends on how often u do it. Like say 5x a day for a week, I'd say u was little week when it comes time to make her day but over all NAHHHH.

No, it doesn't decrease HGH. HGH is secreted by a gland called the pituitary gland and hormones influence the secretion of HGH. It's all a myth.

Can making love with a woman decrease it? Come on boy! Think about it. Masturbation is just a substitute for sex with a woman (or in some cases, another person of your sex). You don't go blind, your testicles won't shrink, you brain won't rot, no one can tell if you do, you won't get short...or any of the other completely ridiculous nonsense you KIDS ask on here!
No, MT. DEW won't cause your little wee wee to shrink either! hahahahaha

Frank is here again with the penis ad. SPAMMER
It could be just a myth. But every time you ejaculate you do lose some testosterone.

no to both questions. there are many theories, but tha only thing that's true about masturbation is that it increases your sex drive.

neither - it's just good clean (albeit a bit messy) fun. So relax and enjoy it.

How about trying some full blown intercourse with a woman?
