Does Boxing negatively effect your sex life?

ahem... a friend of mine has signed up to a white collar boxing match and is 5 and half weeks into the training, he is training every day and watching his diet with lots of protein etc and sparring lots of rounds. Without going into to much detail he has found he hasn't got the same 'pop' in the bedroom?

have any other fighters found this to be the case? is it normal?

 

haha mate ive never had that much pop in the bedroom. just tell her your training for a 3 round sprint not a 12 round marathon never done me no harm

 

You're not supposed to shag while preparing for a fight anyway....

 

maybe your testosterone level drops during training, so you are not performing well anymore or you are tired.. i dont have a will to even fap it after hard trainings, its nothing strange

 

haha cheers fellas that will put my, I mean his mind at ease!

 

Old myth. Their lowered performace is more likely because boxers stayed up banging all night so not getting their quality sleep not the fact they had sex.

 

I love these threads, people come on here and claim there 'mate' has the problem, as if you'd know whether or not your mates taking in lots of protein

 

Duno, I've had loads of wanks lately.

 

This mate is tired, that's all - not quite used to the amount of effort he puts in his training and therefore somewhat tired when coming to bed - not a big issue
As for the general question, boxing enhances your sexual life - most girls care for a toned body and some chicks have a fetish for boxers as well ;-)

 

Yeah, I was sort of joking, and tend to agree with you that this is a wives tale. Their might be something to say though about how an unsatisfied sexual desire could keep libido levels high and thus provide for a high level of aggression in a pre-fight preparation. But I'm no sex therapist.

 

atsch Threads on this site are getting gayer and gayer by the day.

 

It definitely does. I woke up in the middle of the night in a Philly shell once with my girlfriend yelling "You just hit me four times!"

I got nothing the next day.

 

I've had similar problems throwing punches in my sleep my ex girlfriend used to wake me up furious lol

 

This was before 50 Shades of Grey was out though...now this could work in our favor :think

 

LOL true. I'll have to use that as an excuse next time i throw a body shot in my sleep. she used to get so pissed. I think she suspected I was doing it consciously but I swear I was sound asleep. 50 shades of grey :rofl:rofl:rofl
