Within the past 12 hours two tennis players were asked a variety of questions, including their thoughs about sex before tennis matches. It's a big question in the sports world, that has 2 distinct answers. Some athletes (fighters, some football players, rugby, etc) say that sex before a match/fight/game etc is a no no because it lowers testosterone levels. Then there are those who endorse sex before a big event.
The recent French Open champion Francesca Shiavone was quoted saying ‘For a woman, sex before a match is not only allowed, it is fantastic. It raises your hormone levels and brings advantages to all of your points. ‘In recent years I have grown, and my feminine side is a lot more visible. But it is a gift reserved for just a few.” (Just to clear things up, she was voted on being one of the more...how should I say it...manlier tennis players)
And then we have Andy Murray. When he was asked this question he was much more modest in saying that tennis players can't afford to give up sex. They play so often that if they turned it down, the would never have sex. Whatever helps him sleep at night I guess.
Anyways, what is everyone's thought on the matter?

I ONLY KNOW NOW HOW SEX BEFORE OR AFTER A FIGHT AFFECTS AN ATHLETE IN A POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE WAY. FOR MEN, IT REDUCES TESTOSTERONE LEVELS.AND FOR WOMEN, IT RAISES HORMONE LEVELS.
ReplyDeleteWELL, WHAT ABOUT NO SEX BEFORE OR AFTER THE GAME? THE ATHLETE MUST BE BORN GIFTED FOR WINNING! DOESN'T NEED SEX AFTER ALL TO BOOST HIS CHANCES.
