    does anyone else here cut down on their sexual activity to try to optimize performance?

    your thoughts on how effective or true this is is greatly appreciated.

    Does jacking off count as sexual activity?

    I honestly don't notice a difference in performance, sans maybe being frustrated like GPater said from being wound up for so long.

    It is proven that sexual activity has no affect on performance. So have sex or beat your meat as much as you want
