I have seen no evidence that masturbation decreases intelligence, but I have seen evidence that gaming decreases intelligence.

My speculation as to why is that gaming and online activities reduce quiet time of introspection and reduce attention span so that people lose the ability to think deeply about anything.

I assume you think social media also decreases intelligence for the same reasons?
Yes
