It doesn’t permanently mess up your testosterone or androgen receptors, but doing it a lot can spike prolactin and drain your energy/motivation, which indirectly hurts your progress

Not permanent damage or anything. Think short-term swings.
Prolactin spikes right after, then settles back to baseline within hours. If you’re doing it a lot (like multiple times daily), you can feel more drained, lower motivation, maybe weaker gym performance.
Most guys are fine at normal frequency (a few times a week). It only really starts impacting energy/progress when it’s excessive and starts replacing sleep, training, or focus

so you’d say not doing it at all is optimal? what do you do yourself

It’s only a problem if you’re doing it so much you feel cooked after or it’s messing with gym/sleep. Otherwise it’s whatever.
I just don’t overdo it. Keep it in check and focus on actually important stuff
