i've always believed that in not cumming, you can transfer that pent up sexual energy to pushing yourself harder...here's some one else who also thinks so...

My theory on getting horny raising test level and leading to gains and strength
Now for a long time I have been preaching that being horny or sexual arouse will lead to better gains and strengths and I myself believe in that and think that has help with my growth. Some say its bro science some have tried it and said it worked .
The whole goal to up the test levels is to get sexual arouse, but not I repeat but not bust that nut. You can have all the sex you want, jerk it all you want, but do not bust that nut if you do its a fail.
I do not care how you get sexual arouse, whether you are watching porn (which I do), looking at your girl naked in front of you, or looking at your gay lover.
What ever that will get you sexual arouse will up them test levels, The longer you go during this the better, But it gets to a point where it will reach its max and that nut will makes its way on its own, I use that as a sign to let me know that my test levels high and how long It will take for that to happen.
Now I'm not telling to never Ejaculate ever again just don't make it a everyday thing 7 days of Ejaculation ur test are low as hell
FEEDBACK/RESPONSES:
-I've noticed when I've done what you are suggesting I tended to feel more aggressive and powerful and all that stuff that high test levels are supposed to do- certainly a good thing. I definitely had to actively keep myself turned on and everything though or otherwise I would seem to actually lose interest all together which is definitely not a good thing. Certainly an interesting idea and probably a lot of truth to it.
-if I cant have sex or fake sex once per day I go crazy or want to kill people. I always save it for post lift though and usually with a real girl vs hand lol. I have noticed if you hold back for too long and not have sex or not masturbate it hurts you
-What you are talking about is called "Sex Energy Transmutation". It's not broscience, it's real. Google it.
-If you have to force blue balls upon ur self for more gains, I question your genetics.
-Theories are cool and all, and many times if you BELIEVE it works then you will get a better workout. That all said, you must not have a girl right now, because if you know a thing about women, when they ask for it, you better not tell them you are trying to spike your test to grow muscle so you cant partake, they wont keep asking as they will assume there is something wrong with them. I can tell you are a single guy. This will last as long as your single status lasts I can guarantee that, once you got a hot girl asking for it, you aren't going to worry about your biceps. To me bodybuilding should enhance life (ie looked jacked to be a more confident lover) not to be held up in your room jacking yourself but holding back. Seems VERY strange and reclusive.
-As silly as it first sounds I think there's something to this. If you're not "busting a nut" then you're going to be more aggressive and you cannot refute that. If you use that aggression to lift harder that in turn will give you better (possibly much better) results in the gym. More testosterone will make you hornier, and if you don't jerk it you get very horny, maybe they go hand in hand? Going to the length of masturbating and then stopping is probably crossing the line, but abstaining from sex in general could possibly give you better to much better gains.
-I think its all just mental. Even if holding off did raise T levels a little it would only be a little. Certainly not high enough to effect muscle growth. Just take an OTC "test booster" if your that set on it, probably be about the same. also "busting a nut" even if it did lower T levels would be so short term it would not effect anything. Bottom line if your so worried about 1 or 2 pounds of muscle you should be on AAS! and if you were then the whole abstaining thing wouldn't matter anyway.
-Interestingly enough, I found a couple of studies that somewhat support this 'theory'.
"These data demonstrate that acute abstinence does not change the neuroendocrine response to orgasm but does produce elevated levels of testosterone in males."

"On the 7th day of abstinence, however, a clear peak of serum testosterone appeared, reaching 145.7% of the baseline.."
