Awkward Question...

I don't know where this would belong, but...I was told that you should never have sex during season, as the loss of sperm (which contain protein) would make you tired, and therefore less productive during practice or a meet.
But the human body makes around 50,000 a second so I don't see how that's so bad...
Just want to know if this is a myth or not...

Haha! It's a total myth dude... they even proved it on that show "Sport Science" with some guy from the NFL. They concluded that if it does negatively affect athletic performance, than the effect is so small that it was considered completely negligible. He tested, came back in like, 3 hours, then was tested again, and his performance actually went up!

Alright..hehe...I guess they were just idiots then. They would dump their girlfriends when season rolled around, to avoid temptation. I guess I won't have to follow in their footstepts.
Hey smilies work again!!!
