Ok, l hope I do not confuse people here, however, since I am very serious about bodybuilding (naturally), as I hope the rest of you are, then I think it is an issue worth discussing. Basically, I would like to know if it is better to avoid sex and masturbation completely when training for competitions and trying to create the leanest/most muscular/well conditioned/proportioned body possible. I know the likes of Jay Cutler (married) and Dexter Jackson (in a relationship) are not natural, but what do you suppose they do about sex or masturbation when they are getting ready to compete, is it going to drain them out too much and put them at a slight disadvantage? How would you say that other serious bodybuilders fit sex/masturbation around their routines?
I am 24, and until I got engaged, I would say that I was a formal masturbation addict. Recently, I have held back, but would most certainly like to be intimate with my future wife (when we are married and have children). I would like to know if this could hinder my chances of creating the perfect physique. If I ejaculate and use a lot of my energy (which is most likely to happen) when making love, my worry is that I will be getting rid of valuable fluid and energy which should be used for my workouts. I know it is not something which everybody wants to discuss, and I can't recall ever hearing a bodybuilder speaking on this issue. In conclusion, I would like to know what is the best policy to take if you want to be one of the top bodybuilders. I would like to say that I have great dedication to the sport, and would be capable of cutting sex/masturbation out of my life completely if I knew that it would give me that extra advantage. I would be most gratefull to hear from the rest of you. Thanks.
