There's been a popular legend of not having sex before sporting events for optimal performance. How true is this? I've read some doctors saying it likely doesn't make a difference while others say it could. Looking up testosterone levels after ejaculation you see that testosterone peaks at 7 days abstinence. Does that automatically mean peak performance is 7 days from sex/masturbating?
False, it doesn't make any difference. I did just a few hours before running my fastest time of the year before.....ran a 1.45 800m.
What's your name?
Depends. Is your goal to run your race with a giant erection?

If abstaining for 7 days and then running a race will make my erection giant, then yes that is my goal.
