A member asked:

Does abstaining from sex actually help with sports performance? (sexual transmutation?)

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No, except that...: Sexual activities don't alter sports performance, except that activities immediately before the starter's gun sounds might have an impact. Also, women abstaining from sex won't get pregnant, while those actively engaged in sexual activities may get pregnant... And be unable to compete in their events due to being pregnant.

Dr Villaplana and another doctor agreed
