I was wondering what other people experience. I personally find that I feel weakened after ejaculation. I have spoken to friends at the gym also and they experience the same thing. I have also read somewhere online that ejaculation should not affect any strength loss etc...What are your thoughts on this?

masturbation i'd say its negligible how much it affects you.
sex i would say definitely makes you tired.

I do feel tired after sex. I think theres some hormone that gets released after you cum that makes you sleepy.

Ya sex for 20 + minutes is a cardio workout...no doubt about that, but I can do cardio before hand and still be energized to push weight etc...actually sometimes even more so after doing cardio then not doing it. I'm trying to focus in more on the issue of actually ejaculating and the direct effects of that.

After a good session though I feel like more of a man and feel like I can run a marathon if need be.

Considering that all who have answered are either virgins or couch potatoes, what the hell are you asking here for?

A friend of mine insists that it makes you weaker, and doesn't jerk off during season(he's the captain of the tennis team)...but I think he's an idiot.
