Athletes and masturbation

[spartanrob]

One of my friends is on the football team and they have a big game coming up. He said their coach told them not to masturbate until after the game because it would make them weak. I'm wondering if other teams have a rule like that and if therre is any actual truth to that?

[Byrdman10]

Ive never heard of it and i play fball bball and bsball

[Dimitri]

No, masturbation does not make you any weaker than what you already are, it is a myth....

[ImCoolBeans]

No, masturbation does not make you any weaker than what you already are, it is a myth....

^ Exactly.
It's far fetched and not to mention kind of weird to have a coach tell you that...

[ShotgunShells]

That's BS.

[AustinFB]

I play FB for my school never heard that before tho

[Hyper]

The myth is that you get more TESTOSTERONE! (The most deadly substance known to man) or rather that you do not ''lose it'' by masturbating. Which is utter crap.

However there might be some truth to the fact that not being sexually satisfied for a long or seemingly long period of time can make people more easily frustrated and thus in a game of football it might be somewhat beneficial..


But in general Billy can still whack his Jimmy before the upcoming football game.

[SportsNutChase]

I have played almost all sports and the coach never said that but its kinda a rule no jo before a game, and it works for me.

[LuckyLuke]

I've gatta' say...

I wanted to test this and see my results and, albeit there's loads of variables that could've effected the outcome, I ran my cross country race better when I hadn't jacked off for 2 days then when I did the day before.

I also ran two separate half marathons, each a month apart, the first watching porn for a half hour before (and not "finishing off") and the second time without. I ran better the first time and other than the "fun time material", the rest of the variables were constant.

It's probably just all in my head but whenever I have a XC race, I make sure to keep something around a few hours before so I can run my best.

Oh, and with that said: I've never had a coach explicitly tell us this but I did have a coach tell our captains (guys our age and fellow classmates) to have "the talk" with us during our after-workout stretch the day before the race. The talk consisted of the captains telling us, "Alright guys, and I'm lookin' at you W* (name), when you're alone tonight and the only company you've got is your hand, think about winning and head to bed." A younger guy, around 14, didn't quite get it and asked what the hell he was talking about and our captains screamed, "NO JACKING OFF"

[Deanodog72]

I've been playing football and baseball for 10 years and never had a coach tell us that. I strongly disagree with that.

[Lanx]

I've never heard that. I play football, baseball, and wrestling. I always jerk off. Never been told that before that it makes you weaker. Weird.

[Thanatos]

I play hockey and to me that sounds like something one of my coaches would say more jokingly than completely serious.

I will say that for 2 years I jerked off before every single practice and a lot of games and it never made a huge difference from when I didn't. In fact I played a little better because I was more relaxed.

[babolat96]

Yeah. Like everyone else has said, that's pretty weird. My tennis coach has never said anything like that. I doubt it even makes a difference, rather than maybe a psychological one.

[Teen141]

The only thing i find wierd is the coach asking him not to mastubate ... It's too creepy lol

[supadupahitz]

I feel like I'm more clear-headed after I relieve some pressure, so I actually make it a point to cum before competing. I guess if I played a sport where pure aggression was the only thing that mattered and didnt require any thinking, I wouldn't, because when it's been a while I can get pretty cranky and aggressive.

How does a coach even know they do this? Coach sounds creepy

[Foamy]

Never heard of this.

[Trinity_15]

^ Exactly.

agreed for both..

[SWMG]

I am in a swimming team and have never heard of that before.

[Thanatos]

Yes because the coach of a HS football team, whos probably been coaching for years, and was once a teenage boy would never ever think his players jerk off.

[Drew7]

the coaches could tell us, but i don't think it would stop us

[deleteextreme]

Thats a myth. Have all the fun you want.

[Patuxent78]

Not masturbating for a few days would kill me when I'm changing in the locker room or showering or when I run in cross country, seeing some of the other girls run or other boys in their outfits...my boner would be seen from miles away.....I have to masturbate!

[BossHogg]

Well they say it waste your energy like in college some say not to have sex before a game or you will ge tired...but i dont think its true if they come up with supporting data for it then i could ee that but otherwise no

[Everyday Gamer]

Yes, I believe your coach may have been referring to the protein in your body, actually. Apparently masturbation makes you loose a small amount of protein (Protein helps with muscles, muscle repair, and such)
The thing is.. The amount of protein you loose during masturbation can be gained back by eating like.. 1/4th a banana. Haha. So no need to listen to your coach about this.

[Kronk]

Playing freshman and jv football I can see the testosterone idea but honest it helps me sleep after a nice orgasm so I do it to get a good nights rest and if I could-and I do wish i could- do it before a game I would as I feel great and I can stick any guy coming at me

[patrick2010]

ya ive never heard of this either
seems like maybe he was just
messing with ya. i say have fun
before and after the game if u want to

[Spectrum]

Ehh, I don't think so.

[willy93]

i've heard rumors of this at my school, but i don't know if i believe it

[wattado]

that would be weird to hear from a coach....

[jordanmichael]

I all the years that I have played I have never been told that and I jerk all the time!

[Sports Jock]

If masturbating made you weak, then we wouldn't have any strong guys on this earth, lol. I would be really weak then!

[mikeybrooklyn]

i used to play soccer and my coach never said that to me. I don-t think it makes u weaker or something

[RLuna]

Never been told that before. I played team sports for about 5 years.

[Alex_I_love_R]

Hi(:
My basketball coach always tells us not to watch porn in the locker room before a game
My baseball coach is awesome he talks about everything
Football coach says the same thing as the first post
Swimming...ahh I have a girl coach and I saw her changing for some reason then i had to swim..and you prob know what happened.

Lmao(:

[JFDA]

I think It may be because if you dont jerk, you accumulate more testosterone, so you are a better sportsman
...maybe.

[cerney]

that wierd, never heard of that, i play soccer, football, lacrosse, swimming, and tennis. i do jack off before games, and i was lacrosse and soccer mvp's for the year.

[hotteengeek97]

i play lots of sports and have never heard any kind if rule like that, if you believe you have an issue with your coach you should report it

[aaayyoo_avery]

thats wierd idk why he would say anything like that o.O

[Jtloop1]

I don't think it is true.

[Chase1998]

My coach has never told us that

[yerman]

doesn't sound true.. never heard it before anyway

[Montoya007]

Maybe it's because if you don't masterbate you have built up testostorone in your system
Idk

[Mark97]

i dont play sports but i really really doubt thats true

[BoyTeen1997]

Never heard that before

[Kuntaw kid]

Not true

[chiisaiaoiryu]

I think what he might have been alluding to was the sexual tension one feels when they want to masturbate and cum but can't do it. if one were to be sexually frustrated, they would probably try to take it out on something indirectly. in this case, it would be the other opposing players. Now i'm not sure on that, but that's my theory on it.

[VirtualGuy012]

never heard of that lol

[Pepito]

I heard that, apparently, it is not adviced for athletes to have sex before a game or a competiton. Didnt hear anything like that about masturbation though.

[sms22]

I play on my school's football team and never have heard that.

[kitz]

i haven't heard about it before :)

[thebgsamuel]

iv heard of that story but i dont think its real even though masterbation does do stuff to ur hormones and can change your mood... but i dont think it makes u weaker

[rockymountainway]

It doesn't make you weaker. It's also weird that he mentioned it, and furthermore, he has no authority to tell someone what to do and not do with themselves.

(btw this is my 50th post! :groupwave:)

[MikeyCool]

When I masturbate I get sleepy. So I think it's true for some people. My coach have said that to us too.

[IAMWILL]

Freshman year in XC a senior told us that, but that was because he did it the night before a league championship meet and his kidney failed the next day. I've actually gone the other way for some reason and made sure to do it the night before every race and it seems to be working great.

[jamesh]

Actually, I've heard this before... our rugby coach would half-jokingly say this to us, and it was kinda an unwritten rule with the team that no j/o before a Saturday game. It might be complete bs, but then there might be something to it in that it makes us more tense and aggressive. What is true is that it made the Sat afternoon j/o sessions especially good!

[kingpin16]

i play soccer never heard of it i guess they think that if u do it, that it will make all tired....stupid idiots

[Rodeo]

I play foot bal and have never heard of that

[Sph2015]

Our XC team jokes about it, but I don't really think it has an effect.

[aambler16]

I have never heard of that before

[fastcar]

I've never heard of that... I actually jack before my games because it boosts my confidence.

[Snowfall]

Jacking off in an uncomfortable position can cause trouble for your muscles. Although normally it wouldn't. I play as a goalkeeper and I find jacking off normally to be kind of relaxing for the nerves. In fact shouldn't it make the wrists stronger? Unless of course you do it unconventionally.

[NotASpyingRent]

I don't see much of a problem with it. Carry on.

[wrestlehockey]

This is all just BS, if anything, jack off before, so you are more relaxed, and your muscles can contract easily.

[Baseda]

Never heard of anything of those sorts. That coach must be very weird

[Jmann]

It's BS. I competitivly rowed and I always jacked off before a regatta

[asdfghjkl1234567890]

*removed*

[NotASpyingRent]

What happens in your spare time shouldn't be any of your coach's business.

[adam94]

Thats really weird

[boonsim]

That is ridiculous. Anyways, they would have no way of enforcing the rule. It's not like they could check!

[kevin0704]

Never been told that, but have heard that jokingly I think.....having a coach tell you is weird and wrong I think.....i do know when I swan we never did j/o before practice or a meet, just after in the showers together :D

[whiteyrhys]

I'm an athlete and I don't think I have ever ever heard of that...

[PleasureMe7777]

Iv never ever heard that...

[UnknownBoi98]

Iv never ever heard that...

Me Either (:

[zach_15]

I play football and i've never had my coach say that

[jojorob]

yes its a rule no sex or hj before day of

[RunnerForLife]

I've never heard that from a coach and I play multiple sports so I'm pretty sure it's a lie.

[Digital]

[Sean4U]

Never had a coach say that at all....and I don't think that is true ....not unless you did it like just before the game

[awesometag]

Never heard that fron anyone

[jonjon1998]

I've definitely heard that before, but I don't really think its true. I Jo before games and practices all the time haha. I have no issues.

[davidoff]

i j/o every day, game or no game
i think you are more relaxed for your game when you already jerked off

[milestails]

it's a myth

[saul1026]

i dont think its true

[Aidoon123]

Thats kinda stupid and the coach seems kinda perverted

[deeda95]

that is an old myth, it doesn't make you weak!
