Masturbation and Penis Size Gains

Question 12 of our penis survey asked: On average, how often do you masturbate?

The answer choices:

• Two or more times a day
• Once a day
• A few times a week
• Once a week
• A few times a month
• Once a Month
• Less than once a month
• Never

The Breakdown

• On average, most men masturbated at least once a week.
• "A few times a week" had 231 votes -- the most votes by far.
• In second came "Once a day" with 127 votes. The least amount of votes was "never" with only 12 votes.

Most gains vs. Least gains

According to the results, the men that never masturbated gained the most -- with an average penis size increase of 66.23 percent. Meaning, the men that never masturbated added an average of 9.45 cubic inches to their penis (That's a lot)! The men who gained the least masturbated once a day -- with an average penis size increase of 21.11 percent. Meaning, the men who masturbated daily added an average of only 2.66 cubic inches to their penis.

Accordingly, the men who never masturbated gained four times more than the men who masturbated daily! There is, however, one caveat: only 12 men were in the "never" group, and 127 were men in the "Once a day group." The tenfold difference between the groups could have easily affected the results. In other words, a few lucky gainers in the "never" group could dramatically alter the outcome... Regardless, looking at the results from each group gives a better illustration of the correlation between frequency of masturbation and gains. See figure 1 -- Gain in cubic inches.

As you can see, the gains increased (with a few downward spikes) as the frequency of masturbation decreased.

A Deeper Perspective

To get a better picture of the results, we did several different analyses. In this analysis, we split the results into two groups. Group 1 masturbated once a week or more (451 men). Group 2 masturbated A few times a month or less (92 men).

The average gain for:

• The once a week or more group was 3.84 cubic inches -- a penis size increase of 32.09 percent.
• The few times a month or less group was 5.10 cubic inches -- a penis size increase of 40.33 percent.

Meaning, on average, the men who masturbated a few times a month or less gained 33 percent more cubic inches than the men who masturbated once a week or more.

Analysis 3

Again, the results were split into two groups. Group 1 masturbated A few times a month or more (501 men). Group 2 masturbated Once a month or less (42 men). The average gain for:

• The few times a month or more group was 3.87 cubic inches -- a penis size increase of 32.3 percent.
• The once a month or less group was 6.22 cubic inches -- a penis size increase of 47 percent.

Meaning, on average, the men who masturbated once a month or less gained 60 percent more cubic inches than the men who masturbated a few times a month or more.

Analysis 4

In analyses two and three, the second group was much smaller than the first group. Because of this, we wanted to conduct an analysis with a much closer variation. Again, the results were split into two groups. By giving group 2 a higher number of votes (146 men) the 'small group 2 error' was limited as much as possible. Group 1 - A few times a week or more (397 men). Group 2 - Once a week or less (146 men). The average gain for:

• The few times a week or more group was 3.65 cubic inches -- a penis size increase of 30.21 percent.
• The once a week or less group was 5.16 cubic inches -- a penis size increase of 42.60 percent.

Meaning, on average, the men who masturbated once a week or less gained 41 percent more cubic inches than the men who masturbated a few times a week or more. See figure 2 - Analysis 4.

The results could be due to other variables

As with any empirical research, there is always the possibility of other variables affecting the results. Here is a list of suggestive variables that might have affected the data.

• The number of men in each group. The majority of the men masturbated a few times a week or more (397 of the 543 men). See Figure 3. The lower number of votes in the groups with less masturbation would make it easier for unknown variables to influence the data. However, this is variable is less likely because Analysis 4 has a higher number of men in the "less masturbation group" (146 men), and the results showed a clear correlation with less masturbation and more gains.

• The amount of self control in the "never" group . By far, the men who gained the most were the few men who never masturbated. This group has an abnormal amount of self control (or less sexual desire). A high amount of self control would most likely branch off into other aspects of life, such as keeping a consistent penile exercising routine--an advantage that every man doesn't have.
• Is it masturbating or ejaculating that affects the results? This question did not control for ejaculating. The results from question addresses ejaculation and penis size, and suggests that ejaculating leads to decreased gains, not masturbating.

CONCLUSION

The results show a correlation between less masturbation and more gains. On average, the men that masturabated less gained more. Analyses 1 - 4 show distinct correlations with decreased masturbation and increased gains.

Analysis 3 shows that the men who masturbated once a month or less gained 60 percent more cubic inches than the men who masturbated a few times a month or more. A worthy note: The group that never masturbated started out with approximately 2 more cubic inches than every other group.
