Abstention from sex and other pre-game rituals used by college male varsity athletes.

Haha. Im sorry but this next article is going to be fun and quite funny. It deals with pre game ritual sex and whether it helps or hurts someone before playing in a game. I will be very curious to see what the results are. Lets get one thing straight, from everyone that I have known through the years, sex is suppose to hurt your athletic performance and take away your energy. I am curious to see the results…
This research starts off by getting different universities and athletes to participate in the study. Everyone was asked a series of questions and the two main sports were baseball and football with the most representatives. It was found that sex was not suppose to be done before a game to preserve energy and “you legs.” It is not proven that this actual happens but is a believed urban myth that I as a player believe till this day. I feel like this is almost a backwards pre-game ritual. It’s the idea that you are not doing something to be successful when usually it is the other way around.
The researcher did an absolutely great job with this study and its results. I recommend this article to anyone who has serious pre game questions about sex. I have yet to come across someone in England who has mentioned this as a positive. Only time will tell
