Anyone who’s been an athlete – or even known an athlete – is familiar with the “no sensual activity before a game” rule. It has long been thought that giving in to the demands of an insistently tumescent male organ has a negative impact on a player’s performance – during the big game, that is. But does this old coach’s tale have any basis in reality, or is this a manhood care myth that future athletes need not ever encounter?
Just Say No
To be fair, part of the reason that athletes – professional as well as high school – have been told to say no to their tumescent male organ before a game or event doesn’t really have to do with sensual activity. They’re really being encouraged to spend the night (or week or month) before the game in a way that enhances their physicality. That means relaxing and getting to sleep early rather than going out on the town, drinking, getting little rest or getting into a fight with a girlfriend (as often happens). In other words, it’s about keeping the physical and mental state fit rather than fraught.
But there also is a big component of it that really is about sensual activity, stemming from a belief that engaging in sensual activity too close to a game will drain vital energies and juices from a man. (And it’s a belief that goes back at least to 444 BC, by the way.)
Release
Why should this be? Because of an old belief that a man’s male seed contains a significant portion of his male energy, and that when male seed is depleted, a man simply has less energy. So the issue isn’t a man being tired from the energy expended on the sensual act itself, or from staying up late to engage in sensual activity – it stems from the actual release of male seed.
It’s easy to see why a person might come to this conclusion. After all, most men do indeed feel drowsy after sensual activity. But that’s not because all their male energy has left the body in their male seed; it’s because post-sensual activity, the body releases hormones that make it feel relaxed.
Evidence
In recent times, scientists have spent a little time studying this question – and to no one’s surprise, they don’t believe abstaining from sensual activity before a game hurts a guy on the field. As a matter of fact, many studies indicate that there may be a benefit to engaging in sensual activity prior to a game. (That may explain why some 450,000 rubber protections were distributed to athletes before the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil. That, by the way, is about 42 rubber protections per athlete.)
Claims that sensual activity makes a man weak were disputed by a study that measured men’s strength both before and after sensual activity. Moreover, engaging in sensual activity tends to boost a man’s male hormone, which can come in handy during sports, especially the more aggressive ones. And sensual activity is typically associated with less anxiety and worry, factors which can negatively impact an athlete when in competition. Lessening mental fatigue has a positive effect on physical performance.
Every athlete is an individual, of course, so deciding whether to accommodate a tumescent male organ the night before a game is an individual choice. But whatever his decision, he wants to regularly apply a first rate member health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) to maintain that member in the health department. Rough sports sometimes produce manhood soreness, so using a crème with soothing moisturizers, such as Shea butter and vitamin E, can be ideal. It also helps if the crème contains acetyl L carnitine, a neuroprotective ingredient that can protect against peripheral nerve damage. A manhood that gets slammed too much may benefit from healing the damaged nerves that can lead to a loss of member sensitivity.
