If you have sex the night before a track meet will it decrease your performance, Male and Female?

If you're a shot putter it's a bad idea to exercise your arm that hard the night before.
I duked this chick the night before a race and she PR'd.
The great Yogi Berra is reported to have said:
"It ain't the sex that kills you, it's the staying up all night looking for it."

I thought that was Casey Stengal!
I've heard it helps girls and hurts guys. Again, not sure what the scientific basis for this is.

Then you would be right and I would be wrong.
http://en.thinkexist.com/quotation/the_trouble_is_not_that_players_have_sex_the/154400.htmlSex is good for you the nite before and morning before a race.... sex is always good... and it won't affect your race
According to Bill Bowerman, sex isnt good for a runner the night befor a race unless two twins are invloved with a migit on top.
Dwight Stones was rumored to have had sex the night before and the next day he set a world record...

Uhhh, think that one through.
Girl walks into a bar says she wants to have sex. Five minutes later she's home having her lights banged out, 10 minutes later the guy's gone and she's asleep.
Guys walks into a bar and says he wants to have sex. Two hours later the word gets down to the 300 pound homosexual sumo wrestler at the end of the bar who bangs the guy's lights out. After he comes to two hours later wondering why his ass hurts he goes home and beats off to a sticky picture of Sara Bei.
How much science do you need to figure it out?
Suzy Hamilton has told me that she always has sex the night before a race. Seriously.

I believe it. I'm the one who bangs her.
I used to think yes and never did then one day did it in the morning and had a significant P.R. I am a beilever now.
Alright then. Makes sense to me
Tradition says that it makes the knees weak. But bull fighters do it to "sharpen their eye". I have pole vaulted a lot with weak knees and sharp eyes and would say that is a good combination for a vaulter. It also works for playing soccer, windsurfing, mountain biking, diving, etc.
Please...thats obviously a rumor. Dwight Stones has NEVER had sex.
Love the jokes. But why on earth would you do something different the night before a race? I mean NOT have sex. Seriously, if it's not an unusual activity it will probably help you sleep better. But anything really wild is probably better saved for the night after the race.
When I was a senior in HS, the top female runner in my hometown ( a sub-5:00 type) had a, uh, wild time the night before the state track meet. Guys were literally lined up in the hall taking turns. (Foolishly I was not one of them.) She didn't run so well the next day. I sure as hell hope that wasn't a normal weekend for her!

Because testosterone is in semen, women absorb it and it helps. Because men lose it, it hurts.
