Question about extracurricular activities...

[endpoint]

I jerk off into a cup and drink it. It seems to have made a difference at the gym. i guess your not wasting it then.

i think i could handle the 6 weeks of whacking off.....but the 6 weeks of the mormon life.........

The lost nutrients and protein....how much are you letting out?
P.S. Don't tell me I really don't want to know.

Maybe 3 on a slow week and up to 7 on a good week.

I believe the main nutrient lost in semen is zinc, so if you are that worried take an extra dose of zinc everyday.

Thit real hot chick offered to give me a blowjob if i built up my load for a couple weeks, but after 6 days i was bored and was like whatdafuck so i jerked it. Felt good, big load , but after i was like "shit , no BJ." Basically see how long you can go, each day is tougher than the next.

How would she know whether you held out or not? And why does this sound like something out of an episode of "Seinfeld"?

The serious answer is that the post-release relaxation might affect your workout aggressiveness, but the semen release in and of itself shouldn't make any difference. Now if you tire yourself out with hours of aggressive sex, that's a different story...do your cardio after training, not before.

you guys are seriously foiked up in the head if any of you turn down sex b/c you're afraid of lessening your workouts!!

This used to be a heated debate back on the old bodybuilder.org board....

.... I personally think you can't lose THAT much protein from one or two ejaculations a day. And I'm not a biologist, but I'm not even sure that the protein you're losing, or the protein used to replace it would come from muscle-building stores.

If you're worried, take in an extra few grams of protein a day....

.... as for the testosterone levels, regular sexual activity raises test production throughout the entire day, so you'll have more in your system overall.

So, I think it's fine. Just don't do it before your workout or you'll be all sleepy and tired.
