Just wondering if anyone could edcuate me on the science or reasoning behind this? All I've heard is the "it weakens your legs" thing...
Does it have to do with the motions of sexual intercourse, or with ejaculating itself (in other words do fighters abstain from masturbation as well)??
Joe Calzaghe has a pre-fight fuck :dontknow:
Then maybe it weakens your hands as well as your legs?
Boom Boom cc
Okay, i aint no expert on this topic, BUT i have heard in my training that sex/masturbation is not the best of ideas before a fight.
Its apparently the same before all sports. I used to hear it before a match in AFL (Aussie Rules Footy) all the time.
Here is how i would see it as being a bad idea...
(and considering this will be my second post...jeez what a way to enter this board)
Most sexual encounters and (preferably) in cases of masturbation an orgasm will occur (yea not shit
SuX0rZ, get to the point).
When you orgasm, your body releases an enzyme/hormone called Prolactin which is secreted from a section in your brain called the adenohypophysis (anterior pituitary gland).
Now, The major effect of increased prolactin is a decrease in normal levels of sex hormones i.e. estrogen in women and testosterone in men
So thats why, when after you've had sex, your penis goes into what is called a "refractory stage". Basically, its when you get a limp dick. Funny fact eh?
Now, as we all know, testosterone is vital in making us strong/hyper/bloodthirsty etc etc. It helps us go from boys to men.
Testosterone is a steroid hormone from a group of hormones called the androgen group. Androgens promote protein synthesis and growth of those tissues which give us amazing amounts of energy (of which most is expelled via creation of heat (anabolic effect).
Anabolic effects include growth of muscle mass and strength, increased bone density and strength, and stimulation of linear growth and bone maturation.
SO!!! if you've missed the point.
1. An orgasm lowers your levels of testosterone
2. Testosterone is vital in making us strong and energetic
-----------------------------------------------------
Conc: Don't have sex before a fight because your body will not be able to maintain the same strength etc etc.
HOPE THAT HELPED.
I did biology in my final year...
Good point cc.
For female sports competitors a really good thing to do before competition and during training is to give oral sex (to a man). Mainly due to the high amounts of creatine contained within sperm. :)
or we could have a burger and forget the mouthwash :P
Cool thanks for the replies everyone. I thought I was good because I don't get much pussy anyway, but I cant go longer than 2 days without releasing some baby soup
I spank my biscuit 3 times a day cum bleed or blister, never had any problems. .then again my eyesight ;D
Their are a lot of arguements and rumours about not having a sex before a fight or sports match or things like that because it can affect your performance, but then i've heard a LOT of great sports people say that they love to have sex before a match...
I think a lot more things affect your performance that what having sex could.
Surely having sex 10 minutes before you'll be pretty worn out *if your doing it right*, but the night before, it'd be pretty hard to honestly say that you have not fully recovered from the physical side of having sex. Unless it's like crazy 8 hour balancing on 1 arm and your head for 10 minutes wild position sex.... But if you're at such a competitive level of any sport where you actually NEED to worry that much about things that will affect your performance, then you should be fit enough to be able to handle a little sex and recover from it by the next day...
And taking into account other things that can have a LOT bigger affect on your performance, it puts sex or not the night before a fight kind of irrelevant.
Like whether you are loose or uptight before a fight. Nervous or relaxed. Angry or calm. Tired or alert. You know, having a disagreement with your girlfriend 20 minutes before a fight would have WAY more impact (in my opinion) on how you perform than sex the night before.
My 2 cents? I think their are a million more things that could affect your performance more than sex the night before a fight. And even if EVERYTHING else was perfect, I still think it wouldn't make much difference whether you had a bonk or not the previous evening...
With everything, it's just common sense. If having sex means you stay up till 4 in the morning and have a crap sleep, of course it'll affect your performance... But yeah anyways....
That's me done.
LOL yeah, carrots will fix that one =)Quote:

Oh great,,,, that reminds me... ???
I was at a friends house about a year ago and my friend thought his brother had stolen his cigarettes so we went searching for them in his brothers room...
Although we both very much regret this now,, we checked under his bed.. as we knelt down on the carpet and lifted the blankets to peer under, staring at us from the eirie darkness,,, were a couple of different sized carrots
.
.
.
.
...... and a porno magazine.. :o
........ needless to say I havn't eaten carrot since..
... and the nightmares? well, they're getting better.. ;D
cc back at ya for bringing this old doozie back to the surface from where ever i'd supressed it too..
Call me old fashioned, but I don't get it.
:laugh:
See,,, there were the carrots,,, and there was the magazine,,, and they were hidden see,, the magazine was there forrrr...."that"...... and the carrots were there to go in uhhh, "theeeere"....... and ummmm, yeah... by golly I don't particularly want to spell it out in too much detail..Quote:

Dont do it its not worth getting hurt in the ring....you can have sex but do it bout 5-7 days before your fight and dont spank the monkey neither.
^^^^ Damn that sux!!! I havn't had to many sex's that were worth a loss on the old belt..
How do you feel it affected you though?
Was it kind of mentally you were tired?
Body tired? stiff muscles? Lack of sleep?
Would be interested to hear as I havn't had sex before any big performance as yet, but don't really want to if it really will not help my performance.
Well I came out feeling great in the first round , which is a round I won. But after I sat down and got back up and started boxing my legs starting to give in, and soon as that happened I would just sit in the pocket and slug with the guy cuz i could not move my legs.Quote:

Thing is that to me after i started thinkin about it it only made it worse.
It seems to affect your stamina OVER All, but i know other people who have sex before a fight..the day OF the fight who go in there and box with out a problem. So it must be a brain thing.
Ive often wondered if that old saw was used as a tool by trainers to keep their boys out of trouble leading up to a fight.
You know back in the day when you could have a sex scandal involving normal consensual sex between two unmarried people,unlike today when you need at least three midgets,latex,a rhutabaga,and a donkey for the press to even mention it ;D
And even then its probably only mentioned with one line in the "Oddly Enough" section ;D
I guess it goes on personal experience. If you feel great and energetic after a good 'workout' with the girl, then maybe before a fight have a good one.
If you are like me, where you feel happy and relaxed, don't feel like moving at all, just enjoy the moments. The I wouldn't suggest having sex before a fight.
WHAT YOU CAN DO THOUGH!
Is get yourself a fine hot girl (make sure she will have sex with you if you win), and make her sit just outside the ring when you're going to fight. That way, you have something to look forward to if you win. It will drive you on in the fight.
Then it's all down to getting home, having a shower and going to the bedroom for another 'bout'.
HAHA
