Should I Have Sex the Night Before a Race?

By Christina | June 21, 2009

This is a great question because people REALLY believe that under no circumstances should they make love before an athletic event.  It appears that this is one myth that is not true, in fact it seems to be beneficial to take some extra time the night before and “relax” before going to sleep.

In AD 77, Pliny the Elder, stated the sex before athletics can assist with an unsound mind, lower body discomforts, depression and help with impaired vision.  FASCINATING!  More recently, research has shown that having an orgasm pre-race helps, especially for women, in feeling euphoric and joyful as they compete. So for those of you who have been contemplating whether or not to fool around the night before a race, Go For It!
