Sex abstinence and gains/overall health

[chunch]

Alot of people talking about the benefits of semen retention/etc and I don't fully buy into all of it. And I know theres studies that talk about how test levels don't change after orgasm. And I've also read studies about how orgasm to sexual satiation reduces androgen receptors.

My thing is that I get all paranoid that if I bust too many nuts it will make me weak or something. Which is backed up I guess by the fact that I do feel like a different beast in terms of strength, drive, discipline, etc when I haven't had sex or nutted in like 1-2 weeks.

I know this is a ridiculous topic but I always think I gotta be abstinent to make gains or have alot of energy... It's almost like a dysmorphia lol. I'm natural and I've never used steroids because I plan to save them for when I am ready. What do you think

 

[Rickt]

In my opinion the second last sentence is the only one that matters. Save steroids for when you are ready.

I've trained natty for 3 decades. Made steady gains for ten years. The next ten I kept my gains. The last ten slowly went backward

So if you are thinking about steroids from 40 years old on is my suggestion for health. And real trt is enough to get you growing again at 50 years old. 200mg a week is plenty.

As for the rest. All I can say I've learnt is don't have sex during a workout or play the fiddle. It just takes your concentration off the reason you are there.

I don't care how many studies suggest living like a monk gives you 24 inch arms. I will have sex every time my wife wants it. No knowing when the fountain will run dry. Drink when you are thirsty. Right?

This is an idiotic topic.

Agreed.

Fuck that! Whether it's backed up by science or not you got to get it as much as you can when you're young because when you're old nobody wants to touch that shit.

I’ve banged Mrs Chief 5 times in the past 48 hours. Probably add atleast 1 more b4 the day is done. Tomorrow is chest day. Rest assured I am gonna kill it!

Life is too short to deny yourself the poosie.

Do you feel there's a difference whether those nuts are busted having actual sex vs. watching porno?

No I don’t…. But thanks 4 asking

 

[Send0]

fuck that. There's no credible evidence to support those claims. There are no reproduced studies to give this notion any merit. This is some old 1920's shit man.

Semen retention.... stupid AF and has no basis in reality. The benefits are absolutely zero, zilch, none.

All the shit you said you "feel" is bullshit, and 100% in your head. Go see a psychiatrist instead of practicing stupid ass semen retention

no they're not

 

[JeffGoldblumLips]

poosie.

Is this a french word?

 

[Diesel59]

no they're not

Not on UGBB but I bet on the misc it's all the rage.

While I think semen retention is horse shit , spilling a lot of it will effect your strength. Women weaken legs , thats just fact.

A lot of men confuse the noticeable benefits of not watching porn with the over the top ideas surrounding semen retention.

 

[Yano]

Cardio before lifting, no bueno.

A nice blow job, though...

All joking aside , if i just ride the bike in the morning and i take 4 hours between that and lifting I have no issues.

IF I ride the ol lady and then wait and lift ,, my lifts are off.

That could be muscle endurance , my wonky CNS , or maybe something to do with refractory time and prolactin levels ? ,, its all way above my pay grade.

But i do notice it.

Yano I think I know the problem. It isn't that you did the wife b4 weights.
The problem is you did it for 6 hours without rest. If you were holding her up against the wall for all six hours that counts as deadlifting and after sex it should be a rest day.
You big rooters make me look bad.
All the same I like your leg day ideas old man.
