Sex before a fight myth!?!?!?! :D

[Kev]

It definitely stiffens legs, thats for sure.

Is it the sex though or the actual physical effort involved?

I mean is it any different from say going for a run the night before a fight, or doing squats?

Do you think it's the actual act of ejaculation that causes the legs to weaken rather than the physical act of sex?

[donnydarkoIRL]

Ejaculation merely makes you lose a small bit of testosterone and some nutrients. Easily replacable.

But the physical movements involved make your thighs stiffen badly

The no sex thing has always been a bit of a myth...more psychological then anything...Though you do have a bit of aggression pent up but more or less due to irritability then anything...

Sex an hour before the fight I can understand the day before..not too sure...I seen then Sport science episode on ESPN...Love how his wife was so casual with it lol

I believe this theory I was told in the amatuers to take 15 days off before a fight.To tell ya the truth I had sex the night before one of my fight's and to me it felt like I was stuck in the mud.My legs were completely gone by the beginning of the 2nd round.As a result it was my only loss.A professional fighters take somewhere around a month.I've heard the great George Foreman say he would take 72 -78 days of no sexin' before his big fights.But for someone like John Conteh he said it was no big deal for him.He would sleep with woman and party to the early hours of the AM before his fight's.

i'm no doctor or anything but after doing the deed, oxytocin is created in your body, which makes you real calm.. hence the book "why do men fall asleep after sex".. obviously we all know that calming feeling, and i know that i don't want to do ANYTHING afterwards but just hang out (well depending on the situation but i have a girlfriend so we'll leave it at "just hang out")..

but if you don't do it for a while then you definitely have more agression, it's just natural.. you know when someone says "DAMN you need to get laid" because the person is all pissed off at everything..

Yes it's better to be feelin' mean as hell during a fight (like Clubber Lang). People like that must NEVER get laid.

During my time with the monks I had a lot of study to be done on Chi, energy, matter and of course where girls pee from if they have no willy.

Think of this, in manly terms if you will, like a laser.

As we are all energy, our manifestations of our surroundings come from the focus of our thoughts. This is quantamn physics, although since I'm not a quantamn physician, I am HMHT (But Please Note - I am NOT Bruce Willis) this may be a little off, in a non-gay way.

If those thoughts of mating were used like a laser to focus on other things (CHI ENERGY HERE) well, something else happens.

So sexual release = loss of Chi, is it a myth? No, it is a fact. It's science.


Yours in manliness,

I dont have sex for five weeks before a fight. It not just the physical, but mentally it can be a distraction. To be honest being in a relationship during training camp is hard enough. Some other fighters I know dont have sex for 2-4 weeks before a fight. Im old school and take no chances.
