FYI: Sex and Sport - And no, no dirty stuff here

[Happytime]

I just received my latest issue of Inside Triathlon..."The Sex Issue" and while most of you aren't tri, it's still good reading. Yes, I mean reading. Sorry, Mo... ;)

Articles includes topics such as the no-sex-before-racing myth, the science of sex and training, best saddles, pro triathlete couples ("Amateur psychologists say triathlon is a sport for self-absorbed narcissist, Type-A obsessives... but when stereotypes are broken down case by case, qualities such as compassion, empathy and sacrifice trump the skeptics' cynical formula."), and a pictorial of six ages groupers from 20 to 70. Oh, and a topless pic of Desiree Flicker on the cover.
Come on, even I think she's hot...

Triathlon is a sport for self-absorbed narcissist? Maybe just a little bit... I do like what training (well cycling for the most part) has done to my legs. :p

[Gretzky]

Now how can you start a thread like this, and not include the content?

Gretzky - who wants to read it :)

[spingineer]

self-absorbed narcissist ... isn't that redundant?

[Happytime]

Well, I'd loan it out but I don't want it returned with the pages all stuck together.
That page 4 pic of a nude Erin Kummer on a Trek tri bike might do it.
Of course, I'm talking of the deliciousness and racy lines of the bike.

Seriously, it's interesting (albeit a bit light) reading. Drop your 5 bucks off at your LBS.

You mean this (http://www.insidetri.com/IT/Des.pdf) cover photo?

I prefer the picture of Desiree Flicker that's on the cover of the current "Competitor (http://www.competitor.com/)" magazine. Not only 2nd at Ironman World Championships, but also 2nd at the recent Austin Marathon, running a 2:40 and qualifying for the Olympic Marathon Trials. Now THAT'S hot....

The old saying is this: "Sex the night before a race is not bad, it's the staying out all night looking for it that is" :)

That's not what I read in the latest copy of Triatheletes Suck magazine. :p :D

What if you're embarrassed to be seen buying a triathlon magazine?

What if you're embarrassed to be seen buying a triathlon magazine?

Then you can wait for the Amanda Beard issue of Playboy. :rolleyes:

What we triathletes do behind closed doors is none of your business! :D



What if you're embarrassed to be seen buying a triathlon magazine?

Just explain to the sales clerk that it's for your wife, who likes it three ways.

Then stop by the drug store and pick up a box of tampons, a tube of Monistat, a copy of the Enquirer and a package of adult diapers. :p

[Go_Fast]

wow.

WTH?!!!

What is it about me that makes you assume I roll in the gutter with M.E.?

[Psydotek]

Y'know, i had a really witty reply for the tampons bit, but now i can't quite remember... There was a thread about it somewhere here on BF about using them for something cycling related but now i can't quite remember what it was... :(

[Happytime]

One of the stories in the magazine referenced a 2006 article form Nationalgeographic.com, which I googled:

Sex and Sports: Should Athletes Abstain Before Big Events?

And Mr. Married Mo, what are you doing rolling around with M.E. anywhere?! ;)

Runny nose...or diarrhea. Either way...kinda gross.

I saw the word "sex" in the title, and had to check in. Now that I've looked around, and haven't found what I"m looking for. Bye bye.
