Should You Have Sex Before A Workout?

There is a lot said about if you should have sex or masturbate before a workout. Every other person has their own opinions, but hardly any of these Gym bros ever get it right. You certainly don’t want to be missing out on all the fun for nothing.

You might find yourself asking this question if you love your partner or yourself way too much. The idea of not making the most of your workouts can push you to stop pleasuring yourself before a workout and we certainly don’t want that.

The Broscientist Explanation

Masturbating or having sex is a physical task and some people believe it is exhausting enough to weaken you before your workouts. These people want you to save all your energy and do nothing before you hit the gym.

We have a question when it comes to this approach, what about the people who have physically taxing jobs? Are they supposed to quit their jobs just so they can get a good pump? We bet you’re smart enough to answer this for yourself.

This Is Why You Should Have Sex Or Masturbate Before A Workout

Releases Endorphins

Engaging in sexual activities is known to increase endorphin levels in your body. Endorphins are secreted from the brain and the nervous system. They have a number of psychological benefits, the biggest of which is to make you feel better and suppress pain.

Isn’t this what you want before a workout? Feeling happy and relaxed can help you get in a better workout. Don’t save sex just for the nights. What good is feeling joyful when all you have to do is go to sleep?

Increases Testosterone Levels In Men

Contrary to the popular belief, fapping or having sex can shoot up your testosterone levels. Most people think when they ejaculate, they’re wasting their precious testosterone. This is not the case. Your T-levels have nothing to do with ejaculating.

Testosterone is the male hormone which is responsible for the development of sex organs in men. Test is also the reason men develop muscles while women, who have estrogen (the lady hormone), can’t build the same muscle mass as men.

The rise in your test levels can help you in your workouts by supplying you with energy and muscle pumps. A lot also depends on how you feel after fapping. Your psychological state plays a major role in how good your workouts are.

If you feel getting laid will make you weaker, this is how you’re going to feel during your workouts. On the other hand, if you set up your mind that you’ll feel stronger after jerking off, you’re going to kill it in the gym.

In the end, having sex or masturbating before a workout does a little to affect your workouts. All that matters is, you should be having fun in the gym. If you think you’ll have a better workout if you masturbate, by all means, knock yourself out.

Similarly, if you think to restrain yourself from any physical pleasures will make your workouts more effective, you should do just that. Don’t just serve your time in the gym, make the most of it.
