About
Straight answers about men’s sexual health
Load Boosting exists because most of what men read about sex, semen and testosterone is either selling something or too embarrassed to be useful. We read the research, explain it plainly and show you where every claim comes from.

What you can expect
Plain English
Jargon gets defined the first time it appears, and the glossary covers the rest.
No shame, no hype
We write about bodies as they are. No miracle claims, no scare tactics, no before-and-after photos.
Clear about the research
We describe who was studied and what was measured, so you can see how a finding applies to you.
Kept up to date
Articles carry the date they were last updated, and we revise them when better research appears.
Writer and editor
Eric Stephens
Eric Stephens writes and edits every guide on Load Boosting. He reads the studies behind each claim, links to them, and updates articles when the evidence changes.
What we are not
We are not doctors, and our articles are not reviewed by doctors. Load Boosting summarises published research for education. It cannot diagnose you or replace a consultation. If you have pain, a lump, blood in your semen or a sudden change in erections, see a GP.
