: : Just curious, does having a LOT of sex influence recovery time between workouts?
: : cu!

: I'm not sure, but I'd like to be in any study to
: find the answer to this question. Ha Ha Ha!!!
: Actually, my own personal belief is that frequent
: sex could be beneficial to natural testosterone
: levels because of Inhibin feedback loop. If the
: sperm levels are low (as in frequent sex),
: testosterone is needed to manufacture some more
: sperm and the hypothalamus signals the testes to
: release more testosterone for sperm production. If
: sperm levels are high (as in no sex for awhile)
: then inhibin acts as negative feedback to the
: hypothalamus not to release as much gonad
: stimulating hormones which results in lower
: natural testosterone levels cause you dont need
: produce any sperm since your "full" so to speak.
: This is my 2 cents worth after studying anatomy
: and physiology in preparation for physical therapy
: school.

: Hope you find the answer-
