I'm wondering if masturbating twice a day could be affecting my weight. I'm aiming to gain weight and I've been hitting the gym every day. Does masturbation have any impact on building muscles or weight gain?

Masturbation does not directly cause weight loss or hinder muscle growth. To gain weight and improve muscle mass, you should focus on a balanced diet rich in protein and healthy fats, along with a consistent workout routine at the gym. Consider adding a protein supplement
