Sex and training for sports, exercise, & bodybuilding performance question

[GenetiKing]

Icculus...
I've thought of the same thing before actually. I think this is a good question. I never have sex or beat off before I do anything physical (workout, play ball, etc.) I'm not worth a shit if I've just busted one.

First off, your body doesn't produce the semen at the point of ejaculation. You're carrying it around all day long so there goes the theory of being hungry because your body just had to burn a lot of calories to create the little spermies and all. And as for being hungry after fucking...who get's hungry? I just just want to pee. Then maybe I can think about eating.

Oh, I forgot! Who gives a shit what Taoism preaches? It's a freaking religion for(here's my pun) god's sake. Haven't we learned in the last several thousand years that religion and scientific information have absolutely nothing in common? I mean, the sun must move around the earth because it's in the bible, right? Try basing your ideas on something reliable and logical like science.

Okay moron...you just happened to catch me at one of the few times I come home from the bar, wasted, and read the discussion board...

Let's go through your entire comment, shall we?

>First off, your body doesn't produce the
>semen at the point of ejaculation.

Um..great...what's your point? Please show me where someone said this...

>You're carrying it around all day long so
>there goes the theory of being hungry
>because your body just had to burn a lot of
>calories to create the little spermies and
>all.

Okay moron...let's think this through. We're not arguing that your body spends a shitload of calories to produce the sperm at the point of ejaculation. We're discussing that acutal energy required to produce sperm. If you ejaculate, your body just may think to itself..."Hey, I need to produce more of that"...at least I know that's how the human body works.

>And as for being hungry after fucking...who
>get's hungry? I just just want to pee. Then
>maybe I can think about eating

Although we all have to piss afterwards...most of us wanna eat. This comment has no bearing on your idiotic argument.

>Oh, I forgot! Who gives a shit what Taoism >preaches? It's a freaking religion for
>(here's my pun) god's sake.

Hmm...someone here has, obviously, no clue what Taoism is all about. I would even bet $100 this guy has never read a book before....

>Haven't we learned in the last several
>thousand years that religion and scientific
>information have absolutely nothing in
>common?

Umm...wrong again. Have you ever heard of acupuncture? Do you know anything about martial arts? Do you even have a high school degree? For most westerners, Taoism isn't a religion, idiot...its a philosophy. Try reading once in a while..it does wonders.

>I mean, the sun must move around
>the earth because it's in the bible, right?

>reliable .and logical like science.

I bet the only thing you know about science is that there are a couple of planets that revolve around our sun and that this formation is known as a solar system.

If you want to be productive, why don't you actually practice what you preach and try basing your refute upon science? Where's your proof that jerking off before working out is not detrimental to gains?

I know I'm new to bodybuilding, but I must say, at least I know my role.

Fucking newbie...

Shut-up Icculus.

Hey Valdez...

Why are you so destructive with this post? If you don't have any value to add, don't add anything.

I used to enjoy reading your constructive answers to people's questions...I don't know why you have to act like a child with this one.

Stop being cyber-tough and go elsewhere.

It's hormonal. That's why you get tired/hungry after sex, nothing more.

And as for losing protein or testosterone, a lecturer at my old university told me that an active sex life increases overall testosterone production throughout the entire day, so overall, your levels are up compared to not having sex at all.

Hey, I've got a funny for you. I'm a philosophy major! Hahaha! Guess the joke is on you. And yes, I have done plenty of reading and, for that matter, I've taken an Eastern Philosophy course. More importantly, the practices of religion and philosophy are one and the same in the east, for all practical purposes. Why is Confucianism the predominant RELIGION in China? Because their religion is philosophically based.

This post thread was originally orientated to ejaculation and muscle growth. SO any logical answers please.

From what I understand from mammalian reproduction, the ejaculate (the fluid released at ejaculation) contains spermatoza, seminal fluid( mixture of glandular secretions) and enzymes.

Firstly, the amount of calories needed to fuel the production of semen does not initiate HUNGER. And secondly, its more likely that the chemical release in the brain potentiates this which are accompanied with fealings of euphoria. As these FEEL good chemicals are released during the orgasm and also when you eat and when you TRAIN.

I guess the jury is still out on this one. Most said that it really doesn't matter, but I experimented the other day with 'getting off' before I worked out and I lifted either the same as previously, or a little less.

It would take a bunch of trials with a bunch of people to figure it out, but who needs it...I'll just keep it in my pants before I train :]
