I've read theories like that as well but I can't ignore what I actually feel. I feel sluggish and tired after a really good nut. It's often how I get the best sleep.

 

While single this spring... I tested this out of curiousity and went one full month with no sexual activity whatsoever

The numbers and intensity were the same in the weight room. No pre-workout stims prior or during the month of abstaining.


The only thing that changed was that I was much thirstier with ladies and made it a point to go out more and socialize with them.

 

Directly after, of course

 

Ok now I get what you mean. Yeah if you allow yourself sometime to rest afterwards its not that big of a deal but I imagine on that level they're dealing with a totally different set of circumstances.

 

Along with a change in mind state, there could be a placebo affect from abstaining as well.

 

Good point. Like when we were kids and we swore those damn sneakers with the pumps made us run faster and jump higher and it probably did because we thought so.

 

in my family we do not use modern medicine, let alone believe everything we read. when Kobe busted his knee they thought he wouldn't return but he went over seas and got prolotherapy done and hes back. in the states it wasnt until Kobe came back did people start realizing its potential. my brother is a baseball player and messed his shoulder up, while playing D1 he had prolotherapy done and just last week went to the KC Royals tryouts and rocked it.

the point of all that was the fact that to each their own and how they feel something works for them or not. You Max may not feel or sense a difference for going a month without any(how long did you go for before gettign some? ha) but to think TDK and myself feel the same effects of not feeling at our best when we workout after an ejaculation may simply go back to your point which i agreed with, 'its mental'.

 

hahaha! i did jump higher when i used the co2 to pump them up versus pumping it manually. you cant tell me any different! muah hahahaha

 

The brain is a complicated thing so theres lots to learn about the science that makes up our state of minds and the physiology that directly effects it.

 

These ugly ass shoes were ridiculously expensive when i was in Jr High :grin:

 

Bet your ass bought them though I know I did lol
