Hey guys,
This is an old post from the OLD CC thought i'd repost it.
Anyways here's a bit of information i've compiled to maybe help explain some things. Let's get started.
The reason for the 5 hour rule is the body releases a histamine upon orgasm. (everyone's getting out their dictionary) what the fuck is that?
his·ta·mine
Histamine is a monoamine protein involved in local immune responses. It is a hydrophilic vasoactive amine (thus the name). Release of histamine is associated with allergic reactions, as it causes both an inflammatory response and a contraction of smooth muscle tissue. Histamine is released by mast cells primarily when they degranulate due to IgE antibodies. .

In layman's term a histamine is a chemical the body produces that causes SMOOTH muscle tissue to contract.
Quote:
The penis is composed of a few layers of muscle and tissue. The dermis contains a layer of smooth muscle and underlying loose connective tissue that allows the skin to move without distorting structures beneath it.

Well, one function of a histamine is to cause CONSTRICTION of smooth muscle tissue, (this type of tissue is found in the penis.)
con·stric·tion
A narrowing that reduces the flow through a channel.
(www.dictionary.com)
In this case, it's a narrowing of blood vessels which carry nutrient RICH blood to damaged areas for repair. Well after a jelq session, there's LOTS of area that require maintenance.
And the body KNOWS it. Repair commences IMMEDIATELY!
So what happens? well it depends? did you break the five hour rule?
If you didn't the injured cells will scoop up ALL the needed materials with relative ease as the smooth muscle tissue is not in a state of constriction! The body repairs the cells with NEW materials .
Now if you did break the rule, the injured smooth muscle tissue recieves a significantly decreased amount of blood flow. Now while it receives SOME new materials, it also is forced to catabolize significantly more tissue for materials required to repair the damaged sites then if the smooth tissue was NOT constricted.
The fact that you are using LESS new materials, amounts to LESS cumulative gain in erectile tissue.
A FEW EXAMPLES,
First, suppose for a second that each jelq session damages a certain amount of tissue. We'll give each session a rating, for the sake of argument.
1 - being next to nothing
10 - being next to injury/overtraining.
NOW, you JUST finished a really good session, your sessions damage rating was say a 7. You decide,
"Wow, what a great session i think i'll beat off because that session was too good not to ! heheee"
Upon ejaculation, In penis-land, the body releases histamines, and slowly but surely the body constricts the smooth muscle tissue of the penis. The blood flow slows and slows. Now penis-land, which is now in a state of wreakage, commences THE HEALING PROCESS. Anyways, the body is working away trying it's best to heal as much of the penis as it can! now from the blood stream the penis picks up enough materials to repair a rating of 3 damage, unfortunately it's been a traumatic day and penis-land as we know and a rating of 7 damage was experianced. The body realizes this problem and the begins to use materials already on site for repair. ( In this case 4 ratings worth of damage requires onsite material )
At the end of the healing process the body has healed a rating 3 worth of damage from NEW blood stream materials, and a rating 4 worth from onsite materials. ( assuming you left sufficient rest and didn't over train. Well that's another penis-land problem, ANYWAYS... )
When all said and done, the workout effectiveness rating was downgraded to a 3!!!
So after realizing this, you do ANOTHER jelq session this one was conveiniently rated at a 7 on the damage scale. You finish your warm down and complete your session because you KNOW better to break the 5 hour rule now!!!
Back in penis-land, THE HEALING PROCESS commences once again. Except THIS time the smooth muscle tissue remains relaxed the blood flow through the penis remains at optimal levels. This time around the blood stream picks up a whooping 6 rating worth of repair materials, and only has to use 1 rating worth of onsite materials required for repairs.
At the end of the healing process the body has healed a rating 6 worth of damage from blood stream materials, and a rating 1 worth from onsite materials.
When all said and done, the workout effectiveness rating was upgraded to a 6 from the previous 3 !!!
WOW, sorta makes you want to respect the rule a bit more doesn't it?
You're probably saying, WTF, that's all BULLSHIT, well first of all i told you it's just an example but it DOES hold truth!!!
Anyways, i think that's all i needed to say?
