Thread: A rather awkward thing to ask.

It's true that although you spend energy reaching an orgasm, it also releases "pleasure" substances into your organism, which can lead to a higher state of relaxation when going to bed. Masturbation is really healthy so in my opinion don't think too much about it. Besides, holding it when you feel "horny" can stress you and lead to sexual content dreams, and in the other hand, it might have no impact.

In conclusion: it's not because you masturbate that you won't have a good recall. So don't worry about when you do it.

Well, I ran another test last night and I can confirm I did not recall anything. But there are indeed many factors which have to be taken in account.
