boxers quitting sex

[Enzo566]

ok i read this on another forum about saying how boxers who quit sex and masterbation have more intensity and shit.

is this true why is it neccecsary to do that

I actually heard that stuff from a few people.

RICKSON GRACIE says it in "CHOKE"
ERIK PAULSON said it in a seminar, citing that it makes you weak in the knees, due to some sort of physiological response linked to the kidneys...and of course mentioned the psychological points of how not getting any can maximize aggressiveness.
Some other people said it...I think I heard Adjarn say it...but I'm not too sure.

I think it has more of a link to psychological things, and having somebody, male or female, around, in a relationship, can be taxing and make training difficult. See Mark Kerr and his girl in "Smashing Machine".

Man...like that song, 99 problems...right?

For Men, Sex will lower your testosterone levels. This is why many athletes will not have sex before a big game. Masterbation will do the same.

For Women, having sex will raise their testosterone levels. So before a fight, they should have as much sex as possible.

At least thats how I heard it

...
....
not one thing I could possibly post here as a response would not make me look like a sexist dick.

But...oh the follow ups to that post!
I'll just let my imagination run wiiiiillllldddd.

Now you know why the saying
"The couple that trains together, stays together"
Might actually be true!

I need to date a fighter chick. I'll giver her as much as she wants before a fight.......afterwards too.

I really was wondering about this too. I had thought that it would most likely be more psychological than anything else. If there if any physiological response that can be proven I would like to know. I was really bummed when our teacher said in all seriousness "no sex". I really need to know the answer to this.

[THT]

You make some very good points Mike. Damn you.

Seriously though, I have a fight coming up in September. Do you think that laying off the booty romping for a few weeks before will help? I guess it's worth a shot.

Is this really true?? I know more than a few beautiful women who do MT that need to know this, and I am just the guy to tell em.

[Tom Yum]

Not to mention after the fight, when you're all done and can finally indulge, it's better than make-up sex!!

Can Mike get a Hell Yeah?

I read something about tying string around the guy's joint and balls while he slept so he wouldn't have wet dreams.

24 hours at least is what ive always heard although Mr. Mike does make some points about the aggro levels going up when you abstain for extended periods! unless you are a 2 minute wonder, sex burns up quite a bit of energy, I mean you wouldnt want to run a marathon just before a fight right? and lets not forget it gives you something to look foreward to after the fight win or lose. motivation is the key!

[speedbag]

Refraining from Sex before competition is one of the oldest wives tales in the book, probably started by wives.

...on the other hand, if too many boxers refrain from Sex, wouldn't we run out of boxers? hmmm.....

[TerryV]

Yup, speed is so right. But a good rule of thumb would be 24hrs, you dont want to have an all nighter with some big time hottie and then climb into the ring. Dont care who you are, you want be 100% but as far as going a week or some crap it want help you any more than waiting 24hrs.

what are you talking about. dont do that. really, really dont tie a string around yourself while you sleep. you ever seen what happens to fingers if you restrict the circulation for a few mins? lets NOT do that there for an entire night, or its no sex for you ever. youl lwake up less of a man than you were before you went to sleep
