minimum of 3 times a day. No more one week wanks

I've read that looking at sexy women can increase it. It definitely won't be increased right after ejaculation but the sweet spot seems to be 1-2 weeks. Definitely could be what noam suggests as well.
Really only way to find out is to take the challenge and report on your results.

Yeah, looking at sexual stimuli does increase testosterone, but there isn't significant evidence (in the studies i've seen) to suggest that it drops for any (substantial) amount of time after one busts.
TCM is a whole nother story.
I have done this challenge before in my extremely religious days - no conclusive evidence though as I wasn't taking blood samples etc. I have since learned the meaning of 'the middle way'.
