The sex before workout experiment
This morning, I decided to see for myself the effects of pre-workout sex. To determine this, I compared the results of my last back workout to todays back workout. I'm only counting these 2 exercises because I did some different exercises today than last time.
Here are a the results:
Previous Workout:
Chinups: 14 x 10 x 7
1 Arm Dumbbell Rows:90lbs x 8 x 8 x 8 x 6 (reps per arm)
Today's Workout:
Chinups: 15 x 10 x 7
1 Arm Dumbbell Rows:90lbs x 9 x 8 x 8 x 7 (reps per arm)
I went up 1 rep on my chinups and 2 on my 1 arm dumbbell rows. Since I tend to increase a rep or 2 each workout anyhow, my feeling is that pre-workout sex does not have any affect, positive or negative on my workout.

One time hardly qualifies as an experiment. I think when you get to ten you might be able to look at the results. Nine more times(at least) and then we'll talk. Poor Txitalian. You sure have your work cut out for you. Goood luck and nice work.

Very good point. The things I do in the name of science 
There was a scary moment, however. For some reason, as we were...you know....I thought about posting my results in the forum. Then for some reason, an image of Wh0 popped up in my head. It almost caused me to fail the experiment!!

You'd probably need everyone to try it rather than just yourself, as you're likely to improve through effects of training anyway. Nice idea though!

In all seriousness, I've wondered about this. Back in the old days Olympic athletes were prohibited from having sexual relations while in training on the theory that it hurt athletic performance. I thought that has since been disproved - that there is no impact on athletic performance. However, I see that many companies sell suppliments that ostensibly enhance testosterone levels to increase performance. The question then is, are testosterone levels significantly reduced following sexual relations and if so does that affect one's ability weight train potential?
