Well, about 7 or 8 months ago, due to teenage boredom, I decided to see how long I could go without masturbating (the answer? two weeks). I found that when I done some challenging hills, my performance was better. Does refraining from ejaculating make you perform better? I once heard that coaches advised athletes to not have sex during training for an event.
Anyone have any insight?
I remember the story of Francie Larrieau setting an American record for 1500 meters literally less than an hour after having sex. I also had one of my best running performances very soon after having sex. The testosterone level thing is not only backwards, but as you would know had you read Lance's Playboy interview, he has been plagued by very low testosterone levels since losing a testicle. He can't do anything about it because it is a banned substance. Do you think it hurt his performance?
