So I've got a few questions here. Pretty damn frank too. And really stupid, but I'm exhausted and a little drunk so I figure I'll throw these out.


1) I've been trying to get myself in shape recently (running, weights, etc) and I generally like to use it to burn off some steam. Sometimes I'll be really anxious and I'll rub one out to calm myself down. Any downside to this before a workout?

2) Is sexual frustration good for getting laid? As in, should I not whack it before I go to the club?

Yeah, this thread is gonna get buried soon...

1) Yeah; orgasm is a muscle relaxer, meaning your muscles won't be able to contract as hard when you work out, and you won't be getting as good a work out. Try to go at least a few hours between masturbation and working out.

2) Totally a feel thing, IMO... Sometimes you sharper when you have a bit of lead in the pencil, if you know what I mean.
On the other hand, if you haven't had any kind of sex in a while, you're more likely to be more desperate/frantic.
It just kind of depends on what kind of person you are; you can probably answer that better than anyone else here can.

I'm calling bullshit on #1. Unless you truthfully claim to know what you're talking about, I'm going to call that statement false. I've seen many questions asked by eager teenagers about masturbation's effect on muscle growth. Out of every question asked so far, it's been declared that masturbation has very little if any effect on muscle growth. Even if this were true, if you know what you're doing all you'd have to do is do more sets, or simply hold/contract your muscle more at the top of each movement. If you experience signs of overtraining then you know jerking off does shit all, and you just fuck over a weeks gains for nothing..
The only "proven" theory about the effect of ejaculating before/after working out is that it spikes the level of testosterone in you system. It varies from which stage you are at(heightens and lowers) but this is for only a small amount of time. And has very little effect on your muscles.
