sperm and athletic ability?!?

[TDonovan]

I think the whole concept of this was brought up by Sigmund Freud. He believed that if he didn't have kind of sex, that he would overall be at the top of his game. I think the practice was called sublimination (repression of the ID).

Then again, he might have just been thinking mentally.

But either way, I've heard that sex or "pleasuring" yourself reduces physical ability. It's never been fully explained to me, but my coach thinks it's true. Maybe because you're frustrated, more aggressive, some type of hormonal situation. Or maybe it's the slight amounts of protein you aren't wasting anymore.

...you DO realise that Freud was infinitally more screwed up than anyone else who his "theores" may have helped?

I think it's more of a "dicipline" issue, actually. If a coach can make his team do as he asks / orders, then they show that they do trust his coaching ability and will follow him. I don't think it's a physical performance issue at all.

Hell, If i masturbate (yes, masturbate, not have sex), I seem to perform slightly sub par, like I did once before lacrosse, didn't do so well. But It's not so much physically, but mentally for a short period after, EXP- I played CS after and noticed my reflexes were not as fast as they should be.

I was the Captian for my soccer teams and the only difference that I noticed was if I did not get it before the game Iwould get it after.


Performance-wise no big difference.

Lets be honest,

Most paintball players are not at the "top of thier game" physically. I would guess there are other issues, like basic physical fitness that needs to be addressed first.

What are you saying; That at 350lbs. I'm not in peak physical condition anymore? I really miss the days when I was 230.

... I am NOT trying to make an immature thread here.

...Not trying? Well, yeah...it comes naturally...



...I heard that for men having sex increases running abilities...but it is the opposite for women...I cannot seem to recall where that information came from but i believe it was a study of some sort...

If you're ever feeling down, just remember... back in the day, you were the fastest sperm of the bunch.

...Actually Mark was the fastest...


I just took the right turn

i doubt pre game sex is much of a problem for most of the guys here.

Interesting point... But as far as discipline goes, I'm 99% sure most people on the team don't listen (if they're presented with the opportunity to do so).

I hear Freud's wife didn't like his little sublimination game either.

If you made it as far as the olympics I'm sure the athletes would have enough discipline to keep from having sex... after all they did commit anywhere from four years to their entire lives working to get to that point. If anything, no sex is one of the easiest rules to keep if your in the FREAKIN OLYMIPCS!!! WOOT!!!

Anyone looking forward to the olympics... anyone??!
