I like sex very much (who doesn’t?). I have an attractive and turned on girlfriend and we enjoy doing it every day, sometimes 3-4 times a day. I read that one shouldn’t be having sex before competition as it would drain your energy and you will fail to achieve top results. It is hard for me to abstain from having sex because of the competition. What are your thoughts about having sex before competiton?
I read about those theories, but none of them seem to be scientifically proved. I have personally never had any problems with my competition performance because of sex. Sex is a great booster both, mentally and physically. So, if you don’t feel any problems regarding the sex before the competition I see no reason for not enjoying yourself. You are lucky to have such a girlfriend so don’t waste your time on theories that lack sufficient evidence.
I think it depends on how long (time wise) prior to your meet/race that you plan on having sex. I read the an Irish indoor track star of the late 80s won a race after having sex immediately prior to the race.
Your body will recreate semen, because that is what it does. You excrete; the body makes more. This takes energy.
If it is immediately before a race, you will be fine. A few hours later and you will have some of your energy tapped. This all depends on your age as well. If you are 18, it won't matter. If you are 30, you will want to forego the sexual activity because your hormones are not at the same levels as they once were.
