What about your right hand?
You guys are slow on the uptake. I published this discovery here on LR nearly ten years ago. The effect is stronger for females, ideally with an expert pre-competition mastering between 72 and 48hrs prior to the event.
Nah Tiber you think?
I think for guys it def weakens legs a bit. Less primal drive. For girls, def helps them hormonally and calms the nerves makes them care less.
I train an hour or two after sex regulary (once a week more or less). It's not the best for a high intensity workout. If the sex is any good the leg and butt muscles are too tired. But it's good before a moderate intensity run or something long and slow. It's like a bit of cross training.
Yeah, okay. Good luck with that. Every muscle in a man's body clinches during ejaculation, plus seratonin and prolactin are released, which creates the feeling of exhaustion or sleepiness after intercourse. Your body feel as if it has been massaged, so muscles feel loose and overly relaxed, and that can carry over into the next day.
Normally, that's a good feeling. You wake up feeling tranquil, but for a race its the worse shape to be in. You will not have a normal burst of energy, because your body will be recovering from the release of hormones.
Not true, fake news.
It's just depends on the person. I'm a male distance runner and I would have really bad pre race anxiety so sex the night before did wonders. I felt immensely more confident on the starting line. Conversely I had a few teammates that said they wouldn't have sex or JO within 3-4 days of a race. It would tire me out a bit, but the mental benefit far exceeded any physical detriments.

How old are you? I get all those feelings, but they disappear after 6-10 minutes, at which point I feel great.
I am a competitive athlete and have found, through exhaustive research, that peak race day performance requires a MINIMUM of a 1 month period of abstinence prior to a race. If you love sport and competing it should not be necessary to indulge in primal urges/actions. The athletic body of the top competitor should not enter into competition in a state compromised by sexual activity ( this includes but is not limited to masturbation).

0/10. You have never had sex and, thus, there's no control group in your "research".

I disagree. While I have never (willingly) entered into a sexual relationship, I have participated in the masturbatory actions on a regular basis. This is the same type of release just a little more enjoyable than the release experienced with a woman. I have had some brief relationships with women but find them to be needy and tiresome. Abstinence is the answer and should be adopted as a training requirement by high caliper athletes.
I LOVE to run!!!

Great quote.
I have been studying the sex-before-performance issue for a number of years...since the age of 13, actually. In fact, I compete more often than ever, in order to add more scientifically-quantifiable statistics to my database...and to have more fun.
I do believe that, given my age (30), I still have many, many more years of pure research to, how shall I say, PERFORM, before I'm ready to move on to my secondary research topic of sex-after-performance.
Than when she texts me she's not on the pill.

I, too, find the term "bone with" particularly crude, even for this forum. Please elevate your discourse.
Dont do it. I always had a 48 hour rule. Gotta store up that hunger.
I am a virgin. All for the sport. I have chosen to not jerk off for the last three years of my life and we're still going strong. I do not get asked to have sex with women often but when I do I opt out for I know it will make me a better runner. Lots of people don't understand what you have to sacrifice if you want to be successful.
