Masturbation and the CFA Exam

I’ll keep this brief. While it is common knowledge that abstaining from sexual intercourse boosts test scores, leading to glory, what is the stance on masturbation?

While I would like to give myself a nice tug the night before the exam to calm the nerves, would doing so more or less sign my death warrant for exam purposes?

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

You sir, listen to way too much Howard Stern.

And to answer your question, I think the correlation here is spurious.

There’s no correlation. Overall, professional boxers refrain from this, but some other sports, like golf, it helps I heard.

Masturbation helps you relax and calm your nerve, it also helps you sleep better the night before the exam so why not? It does not harm but can only provide benefits, of course do not overdo it

The most optimal time to masturbate is 3 days, 14 hours, 7 minutes, and 3 seconds before the start of the exam.

Please provide proof.

I thought one of the CFAI’s Standards of Professional Conduct? You must not have read all of the appendixes
