Does someone with an empty sack have less energy or less capacity for physical exertion than someone who is more “pent up”?
Lets say ejaculation occurred 12 hours ago in test subject A, and 1 week ago in test subject B. They are both identical otherwise: would B have better results for heavy cardiovascular exercise, weight lifting or any other kinds of exertion?
If we add C who is female and of comparible fitness, what kind of results should we expect?
There’s no way to do a double blind test on this question, because the subject will know for sure if he had an ejaculation or not. However, the old “no sex during training” belief has fallen out of favor. Now that folks are freer in talking about sex, we’ve found anectodal evidence of winning athletes who have sex before competition. I’ll let you find your own cites, if you don’t mind. Searching for “sex before competition” is sure to drag your hard drive through a lot of porn-site spam, and I don’t need the aggravation.
I remember reading about a star basketball player(dont know his name), who had sex with over 10,000 women during his carreer. To be with that many women, he must have been having sex all the time, and since he was a star player, he must have been good athletically, leading to the conclusion that freqent sex and athleticism being positively connected.
You’ll have to check my facts here because I don’t have the book and I’m going entirely by recollection. According to Ken Stabler’s autobiography, he and another Oakland Raider found themselves naked with a couple of girls and a lot of empty bottles of booze at daybreak before a playoff game. That afternoon, The Snake went out and won (one of the many matchups which have been styled) “The Greatest Game Ever Played.”
In itself it probably doesn’t mean very much, but I suspect that there are thousands of stories like that one out there.
Wilt Chamberlain? There was a thread about him recently.
