Sex and Chi

[MightyB]

So, Sugar Ray Robinson used to say that his trainers liked him to abstain from sex for at least 3 weeks prior to a fight because sex weakens the legs. The YMAA Book on Qi Gong has a similar statement about sex, well- at least semen retention- stating that every time you know you, um... er--- basically you release a bit of your original chi- and that a big part of Qi Gong is transforming that stuff into a life-sustaining elixir. Now my high school track coach used to say that there were two modes of thought on this topic. (A) that it's ok because you'll be more relaxed and the endorphines help you through the pain (B) the release will weaken your legs... his resolution was that it was up to the athlete to decide what they wanted to do.

So- here it is, what are your thoughts? Should you abstain to conserve chi, or it doesn't really matter because chi hippies are full of crap. Thoughts and responses?

I try to avoid it before class. I have no aggression for hours afterwards.

For Hung and all that low movement, I definately notice the difference between abstaining and not. It can still be done, but doesn't feel nearly the same to me.

[RD'S Alias - 1A]

I am allways stronger after sex.

The question is, does the man who's just had sex have the same need to impress the ring girls as the man who hasn't had sex for 3 weeks?
