From Libido to Erection: How Does Testosterone Affect Every Orgasm?

Preface

Recently, a guy in the group complained that his ‘erection wasn't hard enough,’ and that he always felt flaccid when masturbating by hand, and couldn't get excited even with sex toys.

When I asked him about it, it turned out to be the usual culprits: staying up late, stress, poor diet, and lack of exercise. Many people's first reaction is that they're sick, but in reality, it's because their testosterone levels are too low.

What does testosterone mean for men?

It affects your libido, erection quality, penile sensitivity, masturbation pleasure, and even your experience with sex toys like masturbation cups and vibrating rings.

Today, we’ll discuss what testosterone does, why you shouldn’t take supplements recklessly, and how to use natural methods to make your erections stronger, masturbation more pleasurable, and sexual intercourse more enduring.

The role of testosterone

Testosterone is the primary male hormone, secreted by the testicles, with small amounts coming from the adrenal glands. It not only shapes a man's physique and voice but also determines his energy levels, mood, and sexual function.

For example, a 2021 study divided 61 men into five groups and administered different doses of testosterone.

Under identical dietary conditions and without any exercise, the high-dose group showed significant increases in muscle mass and strength, along with a decrease in body fat.

In other words, men with higher testosterone levels can maintain a better physique and achieve erections more easily without needing to go to the gym.

If you often feel tired, have decreased libido, low interest in masturbation, or even lack motivation when using sex toys, it is likely due to low testosterone levels.

Why you shouldn't take testosterone supplements indiscriminately

Many people want to take testosterone supplements as easily as taking vitamins. But the problem is—if taken indiscriminately, there could be serious consequences:

• High testosterone levels carry risks: They may cause hair loss, acne, mood swings, and even heart disease.
• Suppression of natural secretion: Long-term external supplementation can cause the body to ‘shut down,’ leading to testicular atrophy, reduced erectile function, and these effects may be irreversible.

Therefore, without medical supervision, never use testosterone supplements indiscriminately.

Ideal testosterone levels

The American Urological Association recommends 300-1000 ng/dl for adult men, but I personally think 600-1200 ng/dl is ideal.

This range will give you stable and powerful performance during masturbation, sex, and use of sex toys.

How to Naturally Boost Testosterone

Boosting testosterone doesn't require magic pills, but it does require lifestyle changes.

Let's say you work every day, drive to work in the morning, eat fast food for lunch, stay up late playing video games at night, and sleep all day on weekends—this lifestyle is the enemy of testosterone. To reverse it, you need to start with the following areas:

Diet

Eat more deep-sea fish (such as salmon), eggs, and nuts, and reduce consumption of junk food like burgers, fries, and cookies. Insufficient fat intake can cause testosterone levels to drop, much like a car running out of fuel.

Seasoning ingredients

Add some garlic, ginger, and scallions to your daily diet. These seemingly ordinary ingredients have been shown in animal studies to increase testosterone levels, and they’re affordable and easy to find.

Supplements

supplements; if your diet lacks meat and seafood, consider zinc supplements. Both of these nutrients support testosterone production.

Exercise

Engage in strength training 3–4 times a week, such as squats, deadlifts, and bench presses. These exercises act like boosting the engine's horsepower, giving your testosterone the motivation to surge.

However, avoid overtraining, as increased cortisol levels can反而lower testosterone.

Sleep

Ensure 7–9 hours of sleep daily, with 1–2 days per week allowing yourself to wake up naturally. Sleep deprivation can directly reduce testosterone levels by over 10%, which is one reason why erectile response may be delayed the day after staying up late.

Alcohol

Occasional moderate drinking is acceptable, but prolonged heavy alcohol consumption can lead to a decline in both testosterone levels and sperm count.

The Relationship Between Testosterone and Masturbation, Sex Toys

Testosterone is the fuel that powers your libido and erections.

When testosterone levels are high, you're more easily aroused, whether by hand, a masturbation cup, or a vibrating ring, and your penis becomes more fully engorged with blood, leading to more intense orgasms.

However, if your testosterone levels are low, you may notice:

• A decrease in masturbation frequency
• Shorter erection duration
• A lack of pleasure even with high-stimulation sex toys

Just like my friend, who used to be able to climax intensely with a masturbation cup, but now finds it hard to get aroused.

This isn’t because the sex toys are less stimulating, but because my friend’s testosterone levels have dropped, reducing both his libido and penile sensitivity.

Moderate masturbation (e.g., 2–4 times per week) has little impact on testosterone levels and can help maintain erectile function. However, frequent daily masturbation may lead to short-term fatigue and decreased interest.

At this point, combining diet, exercise, and supplements to boost testosterone levels is the key to regaining optimal performance during masturbation and sexual intercourse.

Conclusion

Testosterone is the core driver of male sexual function. It affects erection hardness, masturbation desire, penile sensitivity, and the pleasure you experience when using sex toys.

To maintain good performance, don't rely on random supplements. 

Instead, take a gradual approach to improving your testosterone levels through diet, exercise, sleep, and moderate masturbation. This will help you maintain your performance over the long term.
