Sex Facts

[jonbey]

Reading this thread has given me flashbacks to A level maths. Not a good thing!

From a Traditional Chinese Medicine / Chi point of view, on ejaculation we lose jing energy, which is vital for power in fighting.

I was wondering about the whole thing a while ago, and one thing that struck me was that on each ejaculation a man loses about 5mg of zinc, and zinc is essential for the immune system, and keeping your immune system in tip top shape gives you more energy for other activities, such as fighting.

So there could be explanations from both Eastern and Western points of view of why sex / ejaculation before a fight / football match etc. should be avoided.

You could argue that if you are very fit, and have a good diet, then this loss of zinc / jing should not impair your performance.

Cheers,

Jon.

It is a proven fact that sex takes you to exhaustion.

It was an saying that an 10 minutes of sex is equivalent to climbing 9 floors

To many variables in that test, if they were to get 11 men and do it like that and then get another 11 men and do the same thing but going opposite ways, then it may work. But yeah, i think it is stupid. Sex i beleive does slow you down.

A very wise collegiate cross-country coach once said:

"It's not the sex that kills these guys. It's staying up all night looking for it."

hmmm...I've always thought sex was a force multiplier.

Sharpens your game, keeps you focused and improves morale.
