A member asked:
Is sex in the morning of a sports competition detrimental to athletic outcome? how long do physiological affects last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: That's an old practice based on the assumption that you lose your hunger to win after engaging in sex. While you may feel much more relaxed/less stressed after sex, your drive to be competitive is yours alone. Thus, only your preparation for competition is what will determine the athletic outcome. Good luck, and train hard!
