sex and boxing

[Lion-heart]

whats this I hear.That boxers arent supposed to have sex before a fight.Why is this.

I am by no means a medical physician, nor do I even know if your question holds any accurate validity, but by guess (assuming it is true) - would be that having sexual intercourse raises your heart rate acceleration, and other bodily senses. I would imagine if you boxed after sex (how soon after by the way do you mean? 5 min? 10? 20? an hour?) - that if your body hasn't cooled down from the sex, then you could be more physically drained, and not last that long in the ring. Also, I would imagine your mind would be distracted because part of you might still be thinking about "How good of a f- you just had [insert time] ago."

The old myth used to be that having sex would weaken your legs I believe. Guys were told to stay away from woman to avoid weak legs.

Hmmm...back in the old days, they burned pigeon feathers under your nose, cracked holes in your skull to let the evil spirits out and set leaches and wasps on you when you were sick. Why was this?

The same reason why boxers weren't supposed to have sex before a fight.

Because back then, people believed in a lot of stupid stuff.

having sex before a match (like the night before) makes you less aggressive the next night. the idea was to not mellow out before a match. think about it, who would be more aggressive: the guy who just got laid or the guy that didn't?

Boxers aren't supposed to have sex the entire time their traning for a fight. Think about all the pent up sexuall frustration you take out on your opponent, in a non-sexuall manner of course.

It seems to me that it might make you tired. And it might make you mellow. But I imagine that the confidence level would play a factor. After all, if you had sex last night, I am sure that you would be thinking to yourself how much of a stud you were. That attitude could carry into the fight, and confidence is always a good thing. Notice that I say confidence and not arrogance/cockiness.

you don't wanna be thinking about last night, you wanna be thinking about how you're about to beat this guy into submission

I read somewhere that sex makes men more docile and women more aggressive for a short time afterwards (like 6 hrs to a day I think). Of course, I can't remember where so there's a good chance it's BS. Something about a natural biological defense for women to get away and get nailed by more people while the man, being spent, isn't of reproductive use for a while. Like I said, it could be BS, but I'll toss it into the ring anywho.

This includes wanking too, so keep your hands above table top level. But why why why did they invent boxing gloves? Having a wank with them feels like someone else is doing it, and is absolutely GREAT. So a friend told me, anyway.......

[BadgerFu57]

3 hours of wanking wares me out.

[mjmnam]

whatever happened to Bri Thai. who's this Thai Bri guy?

[Thai Bri]

I'm his momma.

[AdamTKD]

Just out of interest would the sex in question include viagra?
If so, the reason could be you keep bumping haphazardly into your opponent.

Actually leeches are still used quite often in modern medicine.
