Masturbation and Stutter: maybe a muscle impact instead of brain chemicals Hello, I saw multiple threads regarding a pseudo impact of the masturbation on the stuttering and that it's quite debatable / non scientific. However, my personal empirical experience was that indeed it will trigger the next day more stutter. In case it can help some people that have the same thing, some return of experience: I realized that during a masturbation session, I contract often my muscles which leads to an extra tense diaphragm. And when the diaphragm muscle is tense, it's often hard to speak. After performing some exercice to relaxe it, by applying some pressure on it and stomache breathing, I am able to release the tension on the diaphragm, and it seems that the next day I am talking as usual without extra stutter.
