I don't want to get too :eek: here, but I wanted to see if anyone has any knowledge on a certain matter. I read something about the effects of sex (or the alternative) on lifting weights. The article said that you should do your thing after you lift weights, and never before. Something about the effects of testosterone on muscle repair. Does anyone know anything about this? all jokes aside
 
I don't know if I believe this study, or much care infact lol... I don't think waiting 1 week between.. just for lifting is worth it. :D

Jiang M. Periodic changes in serum testosterone levels after ejaculation in men. Sheng Li Xue Bao 2002 Dec 25;54(6):535-8
<p>
The purpose of this study was to determine the changes in sex hormone level in men after ejaculation. The serum testosterone concentrations of 28 male volunteers were investigated daily during abstinence period after ejaculation. We found that fluctuations of testosterone levels from day 2 to day 5 of abstinence were minimal.<b> On day 7 of abstinence, a peak of serum testosterone appeared, reaching 145.7% of the baseline (P<0.01)</b>. After the peak, no regular fluctuation was observed. Ejaculation was the premise and beginning of the 7 days' periodic phenomenon. If there was no ejaculation, there was no periodical changes in serum testosterone level. These results indicate that the periodic change in serum testosterone level is caused by ejaculation.<p> It's not so much that it decreases, but abstinence seems to increase it substantially

Have sex (or the alternative) as often as you want. It really is not going to hurt you, or make you blind or grow hair on your palms.
 
Also notable that the sexual arousal and ejaculation itself does not have any immediate effect on testosterone levels. So have sex before or after as you please, whatever makes you perform better in the gym :D
 
if anything, sex.. what was it called? releases more test or something like that. If anything, sex is good for test levels! Only bad thing about it is that you loose Zinc, so take a multivitamin or something :p
 
indeed. i got used to remember some numbers. but i dont have them anymore. all i know is that the normal diet done supply the optimal ammount of zinc needed for muscle builders, and you shoot out about half of what a "normal" diet would give you.

How to Super Charge Your Sex Drive, Naturally

Warning: If you are looking for information about supplements or creams that will increase your sex drive, don’t bother reading this article. This article is written for men and women who take responsibility for themselves and their life results. I am going to give you the purest, no BS answers to the question: “Why do I suffer from low sex drive?”

As humans, we are sexual beings. Mother Nature designed us with a mechanism that screams 'Procreate, so that the species will survive!!!' I call this your Primal Urge.

'So what do I do if my Primal Urge sucks?'

De-Stress – You may think that you don’t have much stress, but I encourage you to read on! First in order of de-stressing your physiology for improved sex drive, is that your most primal needs must be met! Safety, Security and Sustenance must all be established.

If your body-mind is busy worrying about your safety, your security and sustenance there will not be enough energy left over for increasing your sex drive. Also, Nature knows that if you are in danger (fight or flight), insecure, and cannot sustain yourself then you should not procreate or create another.

'So, Elliott... what's the big deal - I have food and shelter, I'm safe and secure, why does my sex drive still suck?'

Are You Really? Well, let's take a look at how safe, secure and sustained you truly are.

Although you have 'food' (notice the quotes - 90% of the food bought in American supermarkets are processed, devitalitzed garbage) and shelter, do you really feel safe and secure? If you have been paying attention to the television (you know, that black box that 'educates' 90% of Americans) then you are NOT safe, secure and you CAN NOT sustain yourself.

First of all, you can't even afford the Jaguar / BMW that you MUST have in order
to be considered socially acceptable... because of this you have no 'Primal Association' - You don't belong, you are not secure! This is the insidious, subconscious message that you are receiving 60+ times a day.

Is your security system working? it better be, because there is a guy wearing a black winter cap looking through your window right now. Also, don't you know that the 'Terror Alert' is ORANGE! This means that some crazy religious martyr may drive a truck full of explosives into your living room! YOU ARE NOT SAFE. (Obviously I am being sarcastic).

And forget about sustenance - ask yourself if the last meal you ate was really food. As I mentioned earlier, 90% of the 'food' consumed in the US is processed.... It is not food! Chances are that - YOU ARE malnourished.

I know that I am ranting, but I want you to know that this is just the tip of the iceberg... Understand that unless you are TRULY safe, secure and are providing your body with true sustenance, you will have a sucky sex drive.

A few quick tips for de-stressing and boosting your sex drive: 1. Eat Real Food - if your ancestors 10,000 years ago did not eat it… neither should you. 2. Get To Bed No Later Than 10:30 pm – this will balance your autonomic nervous system in such a way that you will begin to secrete more Testosterone, Growth Hormone and DHEA… all great for increased sex drive. 3. Meditate / Quite Time – by giving your mind a rest for 20 minutes a day, you not only lower your sympathetic response (fight or flight) but you will increase your ability to get and maintain erections!

Thanks primal, interesting artical. I really don't have any problems "getting it up" (haha I'm 18), but it was interesting nonetheless. On a side note, if we all ate what our ancestors ate 10,000 years ago, we wouldn't be getting a very balanced diet :p (primitive grains for most of us)
