Can having sex 2-3 times a week affect athletic performance in the sport of track and field?

i heard it makes your wille smaller...

When I was in high school our basketball coach banned the boys from sex til after a game....took state several times.....lol

There's stuff on the web about this. Google "sex spots performance". I can't se why there would be any effect at all. Don't athletes do some workout when preparing for an event?

MisKim323, that's badbass, definitely awesome for your high school.

Mightymoe, lol sex doesn't make ur wille smaller.

Artlo, you're right, there are things on google wherein various people discuss how intercourse can affect an athlete. I've tried doing this, but my research into the topic hasn't been consistent. In other words, some people say that sex affects athletes, while others say it doesnt, depends on the individual. Athletes definately do workouts geared towards a particular competition, especially in track and field, thats kinda why I wanted to see if having sex a couple of times a week could potentially affect one's practice or competition.

Go without sex for a while and you get "energy" built up and you want to release it somehow. Since you are not doing it sexually you can perform better at your sport. Plus it gives you a "reward" to do good...lol

No, Lack of sex can though!

That sorta tells us where the common knowlege on this is.

build endurance and stamina and promotes healthy blood flow
and psychological well being!

From my personnel experience sex does affect performance for 8-9 hours.a week without sex gives me more energy than i know what to do with, i'm 27.

Thanks alot for all of your responses, ya'll are great :)
