Is there any benefit to your lift to be had by not having sex or j o ing

How about an in depth answer?
Chinese researchers conducted a study in 2003, and enlisted twenty-eight male volunteers to abstain from ejaculation for a period of one week. The participants were tested daily for deviations on serum testosterone levels. The Chinese study was the first to measure the influence of ejaculation frequency on serum testosterone levels, and the results are provocative.
Researchers found that abstaining from ejaculation for six days had no impact on serum testosterone levels. On the seventh day, serum testosterone levels peaked to 145.7% of baseline, and then declined rapidly on the eighth day.7,8
Researchers believe testosterone declined on day eight from the negative feedback suppression of Leutinizing hormone secretion. Leutinizing hormone is essential for testosterone production, and LH determines free testosterone levels. Suppression of LH would decrease serum testosterone levels, returning them to baseline. The study determined that the frequency of sexual activity and ejaculation impacted testosterone levels.
Research is useful inasmuch as it can be applied to provide direction. Based on the latest scientific research on sexuality and sexual behaviour as it relates to physiological function, here is chronological sequence of action that best utilizes the findings of the research:
Because testosterone levels are minimized in the presence of elevated insulin levels, the pre-workout meal should consist of lipids and protein - both of which have negligible impacts on insulin levels.
Research demonstrates that testosterone levels rise as a response to sexual stimuli. Therefore, an athlete could benefit pre-workout by being exposed pre-workout to sexual stimuli. The athlete could then exercise with increased testosterone levels and aggression.
Post-workout, the athlete should consume a protein drink with flax oil or olive oil. Lipids facilitate the passive permeation of the cell wall by sex hormones.
One hour post-exercise, the athlete should achieve ejaculation. This will increase the natural level of killer cells, thus increasing immune-system function and enhancing recovery abilities. The increase in killer cells will prevent over-training.
You may also choose to postpone the achievement of ejaculation for seven days so as to maximize testosterone on a day of the athletes choosing - i.e. on the hardest training or competition day. If the athlete chooses this protocol, ejaculation should be achieved on the seventh day, post workout and according to the above protocol, so as to avoid the negative feedback suppression of LH demonstrated on day eight of abstinence.
Sexual activity is an integral part of human life.
Science is only now beginning to understand the impact of sexual activity on immune-response and hormone profile, but one thing is clear: sexual forces underlie all human behavior, and correctly manipulated sexual activity can improve physical health.
Good Luck.

Awesome answer thanks Dyslexic
Gonna wait 7 days for a little extra manjuice power

i cant get laid anyway.

A good start is for every guy to have a female training partner and have sex during a workout. Killing two birds with one stone, as it were.

I was always under the assumption that ejaculation only adversely affected T-levels if you were fighting Apollo in the main event.

Don't know about testosterone levels, but if you have a wife/girlfriend pretty sure she'll be really pissed
-
I wouldn't give up an orgasm for a 100% increase in strength, if it goes up and goes down without going off, you lost that one forever. Let's get some perspective on what's important here guys. All men should come 5 times a day at least.

Interesting study Dyslexic.
Would a person really give up sex to increase their bench? I don't have any studies to back this up but regular sex just make for better quality of life.
Real world experience- do not hold back on sexual activity in an attempt to increase workout performance. The only way it'll negativly affect you is if you are not getting enough sleep due to multiple sessions every night of your life.

Hmm..good point. This would make sense - they should do a study into that sometime.
