does breeding affect performance?

[evolutionkennels]

Sex before a fight in my opinion makes No difference. The only factor could be time.. with humans that is. If you give a two minutes qnd done performance... (we've all been there ), then we should be fresh as a Daisy... now if you went on a two hour bang her lights out session... you may be a little tired. But it wouldn't be from the ejaculation, it would be from excercise... when a dog mates... he's looking to nut as fast as he can, (some humans too... especially after marriage ), so it wouldn't hurt in a show afterward.... just my opinion.

I would be worried about having a dog in a keep anywhere near a bitch in heat my males go stupid and loose focus on pigs start trying to dry hump each other not drinking enough and sometimes not touching their food would not think that few months before would affect anything but unless i just got odd dogs wouldnt want em near a bitch if they got work to do..

Having a male fussing over not being able to get to a nearby female in heat is much different than simply bringing a bitch in, breeding her, and letting your stud go back to rest. Ejaculation does nothing to diminish strength or energy levels, as EK stated, any tiredness comes from the effort put into getting to the point of ejaculation - which, for dogs (with competent handlers) isn't much.

Ask any teenaged boy or video game nerd that masturbates 70% of their day away, and I guarantee you, the only thing they'll tell you is tired is their arm. Ejaculation has nothing to do with performance.

I can think of more than a few occasions where boxers were told not to have sex 48 hours before the fight outside of Rocky lol. I remember the build up to one of jeff laceys fights when he was an up and comer and I believe it was HBO that followed him around and you heard his trainer tell him the same. Pacman is another big name that is said to practices the same. From my understanding it all has to do with a persons "Psyche". Psychologically it is said by some that after sex you will be less competitive or less motivated to compete. Also, it is not just your hand that is getting an extensive work out by masturbation but your heart as well. While it is not exactly working out, I believe your heart rate will still rise 3/4th's of what it would had u been running on a treadmill. Run a mile. clock your time. the next day, choke it 5 times then run your mile. see results lol. Also remember masturbation is "simulated" sex. So I imagine the results will be less with that than the real thing.

There are plenty of benefits of sex also. Increased endorphins which help deal with pain and give a feeling and sense of well being and contribute to ones ability to BOND. plenty of pro's to go with the con's. So i'm on the fence with the subject. I will just say to much of anything is not good in most cases.

I think the fatigue and exhaustion comes from doing something excessively. Doing it faster than your body can replenish. Cant remember where I read it, but i remember some article saying intercourse is equivalent to losing a pint of blood as far as your heart goes. Don't know the truth behind it. Just something I read a while back.
