Myth: Intercourse can impact athletic performance
Truth: This theory has been worked from every angle, but, in the end, researchers haven’t found any real evidence on the psychological or physical effects of intercourse on sports performance.
In fact, a study published in the Journal Frontiers in Physiology in 2016 revealed that having intimate relations before a sports competition does very little to compromise athletic potential but quite the opposite. Pre-sports intercourse could actually have positive effects for athletes, by elevating their testosterone levels.
So this is another popular myth that has no fundamental basis.
People have been laboring away with this next myth…..
Very interesting…. Another myth might be that the older you get, the less interested you are in intimacy. I met my second husband when I was 73 and he was 76. We married two years later after having an incredible intimate life together. He will be 81 in September and we are still going strong. What works for us is a mutual understanding and appreciation for taking our time with each other. Our “sessions” can last anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour. We are the happiest we have ever been.
