Testosterone often makes men hyper-horny

Submitted by Zach

I’m loving the idea of sports month, it’s quite fitting and I have plenty to say about it given my background in coaching and sports science, but I thought I would start by sending in something about why guys who are so active are apparently more easygoing and eager when it comes to masturbation with other guys.

I think there are three aspects to this:

1. Experience.
2. Confidence.
3. Testosterone

First of all, EXPERIENCE. Athletic guys are generally less shy when it comes to their bodies. Most guys who work out or play sports have done so for years, they’re used to locker room environments and they’re not shy when it comes to teammates or other men at the gym seeing their dick, or checking out other dicks. These guys understand male physicality in a real sense, rather than theoretically. If you’re used to seeing other men naked and being around other men naked, it’s just a normal part of being a man. These men have probably seen other guys getting hard in the showers, and tried to discreetly massage their own erection a few times too. These men know what it’s like, there’s a certain sense of brotherhood and understanding.

Second, CONFIDENCE. Being athletic and sporty usually means you’re pretty fit and you have a good body, or you’re at least trying to stay in shape. Both men and women feel better about themselves physically when they’re in-shape and regular exercise also encourages a positive psychological state. In simple terms, if you’re a sportsman and you have a good body, you probably like to show it off, or at least aren’t shy about other men seeing you. For some it might simply be a mild form of narcissism, but many will see that confidence in others and admire their peers in the way they hope they’re admired.

Finally, TESTOSTERONE. Working out and staying in shape is important when it comes to the production of testosterone, and it has a significant impact on both the body and the mind. In addition to maintaining general good male health, a good workout has the side effect of increasing libido, sometimes dramatically. We all know that post-workout boners are a thing. I know from personal experience that *most* guys jack off or seek a sexual encounter after playing sports or working out. Many athletes or gym-going men have a system of rewarding themselves for pushing their body further, and their reward is often sexual in nature because of the increase in testosterone encouraging them in that direction.

When you include the sense of community and brotherhood often experienced by men who are a part of a team or in the same sporting field, you have a great mix of mental and physical similarities which can often lead to at least shared masturbation as an extension of the sport they’re engaged in, a kind of friendly partnership of understanding and mutual enjoyment.

I believe this is why we see so many experiences from gym buddies and men on sports teams – the combination of the three examples listed mixed with friendly openness seems to inevitably lead in this direction.

Regardless of the causes or influencing factors, masturbation is healthy, all men do it, and those who share their enjoyment with each other seem to have healthier friendships as a result and that can only be a good thing. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being open with your male friends in this way, whether you simply share masturbation together as a social experience, with hands on your own manhood, or whether you go further and assist each other.

Having fun and appreciating your maleness together is a fulfilling experience, I would certainly recommend it.
