Does masturbation affect performance at the gym?

Question

I haven't whacked one out in 4 days and have found that I compltetly recover from weights the next day.

Answer 1

It is known that ejaculation reduces energy level.But I do have a friend who will play better in soccer only if he ejaculates.Depends on your stamina too I suppose.

Answer 2

No, it has no effect.  No study has ever found such an effect.  If however, you want to be sexually frustrated, go ahead, its your business.  Just don't get aggressive with other people (which really will happen if you aren't careful).  Enjoy your placebo effect, I'll keep enjoying *******, thank you and not listening to myths, thank you.

Answer 3

yep because apparently it releases lots of testosterone each time you ejaculate so you lose valuable strength.

Answer 4

i think it's more psychological than anything..  on the contrary i think it actually helps to release stress and hence helps your performance at the gym...

Answer 5

It does'nt affect it. But if you think it does you'll feel like it.  

Answer 6

yes it does. Its all to do with energy management and chemical regulations in your body. masturbation affects the same chemicals you use for training at the gym, thats why if you m********e and train, you will feel more tired and gym work will be less effective.

Answer 7

Muhammed Ali said that he refused to have s*x, m********e, or do anything like that when training for a fight, or training period, because it would detract from what he was trying to do...if it worked for him, im sure it will work for u
