Does sex lower your testosterone?
I wasn’t sure where to post this. Sorry if this was the wrong place. I have heard that sex lowers your testosterone. Is this true or is it just a myth? Any studies done on it? Let me know. I worry because I do all theses thing to raise my levels and then wonder if I am defeating the purpose by having sex.

Yep, no more sex for you, or masturbation, or thinking about women =/
Time + Commitment = Success
If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you
truly want, and all that is left is a compromise. - Robert Fritz

if it lowered test no healthy adult would have thier optimal amount of test. Honestly dude... who cares... are you going to stop having sex? if bbing is THAT important you need to start listing prioreties.

Is it just a myth that boxers avoid sex when preparing for a fight? If it's true, why do they avoid it then?

it doesn't lower testosterone. but, i don't have sex with my g/f the night after a hard workout. i'd rather just rest and recover instead of burning calories just for a nut

If you're in doubt, consume more zinc. Each time you ejaculate (i.e. "nut"), you lose roughly 8mg zinc

Sex or masterbation reduces your free test by around 1-2%
If you are like me and cant keep it in your pants for longer than a few hour periods.. there is hope
You can buy one of those steel chastitity belts, it will add approx 35lb to your torso and facilitate lean muscle gain and plenty of chaffing around your pubic region."The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. He will be lonely often and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself" - Nietzsche

also, your sig says that youre 26, which means that your body is still producing PLENTY of test. usually the only people who worry about their test levels dropping are older.Originally posted by syrnypolice
