Sex & Shred

Guest_2 · Post by **Guest_2** » 21 Apr 2006 12:50

Do you abstain from all sexual activity before big shred competitions/demos?

I once read an interview with Miles Davis that stated: "You can't come and play"-referring to post orgasmic exhaustion and performing jazz the next day.

Do you notice a difference in abstaining and better/worse shred?

I've got a 3 hour tomorrow and have been abstaining since Wednesday, but I have a date tonight.

Is abstaining a good idea? Should I disapoint her?

Do her and go shred tomorrow. Everybody wins.

lol I am surprised we havnt seen a topic like this before or one about sex in general .... odd

I don't think its a problem at all to have your fun and then shred especially if you have a nights rest before you shred again.

If anything I think shred before sex is more counterproductive as footbag is so draining I find it reduces sexual intensity. I do have ever find a long session before hand increases stamina. The same goes for any long strenuous activity before hand.

Dudes, please.

Of course sex isn't bad for shred. In fact, it's perfect cross training before and after shred sessions.

After sex guys have a lot less energy, but only for a short amount of time. I think that sex would not get in the way at all, unless it was like 30 min. before shreding.

i used to have a fencing coach who said "fence first, fuck later"

the theory was that the nervousness / pent up sexual energy and such made you quicker to react and made you more aggressive, but when you had released that energy the night before you were slower, less likey to react and were less aggressive and cared alot less in general on the piste.

There's no need to get piste, Andrew.

Here's my opinion.

It's not the spent energy that kills you, it's the soreness of using certain muscles. I had sex standing up the day before a session once and my muscles were SORE = no good shred.

Anyway, I'd just say take it easy and don't be doing particularly strenuous activity before playing footbag and things turn out fine.

or...you dont necessarily have to do any work while having sex with the girl

OK so I was having hip pain for a while with footbag...

the other night, doing my girlfriend, I won't get into the specific mechanics of it all... but I popped my hip really good. It felt great. Hip no longer hurts! YaY!

no reason to abstain from sex before or after shredding. However, if you're choosing between getting laid and shredding.... well there are a few variables I think come into play.

A.) who are you shredding with
B.) can you have her anytime you want?
C.) how how is the chick

Because... if I had one or two people to go out and shred with, and I could see this chick another time.. I'd just put it off.

Might sound weird, but to me footbag is all of the fun/release sex is without all that female jabbering. Then again... I wouldn't turn down Jessica Alba for any sort of shred.

Ideal situation : shred, shower, then go out with the ladies.

I chose not to go to 2 local events, Midwest Regionals '01 and CIC MSI Jam one year.

EVENTS!

actually before i have a comp i dont do anything for 1 reason. when you have not orgasmed within a period of 3 (or more) days your testerone level actually rises and your body becomes a lot stronger and your lung capacity increases significantly... when your done go hump your brains out or crank one out for all i care, i suggest to keep away from sex before hand though
(this is only for guys. im not sure how it works for women, stay away, do it, im not sure. i would assume it would be the complete opposite because female hormones rise only after sex, not from abstainig from it)
