I believe the issues are more related to masterbation and pornography than sex, here have some pop science:
I believe Huberman had Anna Lembke, the author of Dopamine Nation, on his podcast and they discussed a dopamine fast for raising baseline. The fast included abstinence from alcohol, caffeine, tobacco, and sex (not just masturbation or pornography).
I could be misremembering it, and I don’t believe one view necessarily contradicts the other.

Ah fair enough, haven’t listened to that yet.
I don’t drink (love a good cigar but that’s only every couple of months/few times a year) but a caffeine and sex fast… Is life worth living?! I’d certainly get a massive headache and an angry wife!
