Women however, may not share their immediate thoughts to everyone about sex and other formerly thought-to-be taboo issues as readily. Competitive bodybuilders and fitness athletes are no different, but it all seems to revolve on how the sex, or lack thereof will affect their training, their dieting, their physique, and in the end, their placing. It is well known that many professional athletes, baseball players, football players, fighters, and endurance athletes have all claimed to abstain from sexual activity with a partner, and even from masturbation immediately before a big event. There is this 'old-school' belief that it somehow reduces stamina, reduces power, and reduces the force that the athlete can put forth at their big event, tournament or game.
This seems to be true, for a minute. After athletes abstained from ejaculation (serum test levels were tested daily) for 6 days their levels had not changed. On the seventh day only, the levels of testosterone jumped by 50 percent. It's true that bodybuilding (lifting weights that is) lowers testosterone levels (serum), but only remain slightly lower for less than 3 hours. One study found that when 10 men watched a pornographic movie for 15 minutes, their testosterone levels jumped 100 percent afterwards, while the 10 ladies rolled in at 80 percent more testosterone. Now should we all watch porn right before we hit the gym well, maybe not every workout! Seriously though, the arousal itself seems to show a massive increase in test levels, and it would then seem the next question to be, "How long does it last?"
It seems the levels remained elevated at 75 percent of the max for over 90 minutes, so you better hurry! From the other side of the coin this also seems to increase aggression in turn, and increases the likelihood one will do things such as pull the trigger on a gun. For men, bodybuilding offers a few more benefits aside from increased body image and self-esteem. It also increases their overall production of testosterone over a long period of consistent training and its known that men's testosterone levels can begin to decline as early as 25 years old.
The action of lifting weights, for reps, for one hour or more, increases vasodilatation throughout the body, and when a man is a smoker, or has arterial disease in his family, this can affect erections, as the lack of blood flow to the area will eventually cause impotence. Over a long period of time and frustration, it's nice to know that it can possibly be a helpful benefit to those with that issue. Not to mention the increased strength can aid in a vast supply of new sexual positions you and your partner would both appreciate.
Impotence is a condition that affects the male, and is medically referred to as ED or Erectile dysfunction. There are various reasons that studies indicate as causes of this problem in men. The main symptom of this problem of male impotence is the recurring or persistent inability of a male to be able to achieve an erection and also to maintain an erection in spite of the person having a high desire for sex. This erection is required for concluding any sexual act or sexual contact. Some of the main causes of impotence in a man include some kind of damage to either the arteries or the smooth muscles. It also includes damage to the man’s fibrous tissues.
Other major causes of impotence include disease. There are certain diseases like diabetes, chronic alcoholism, kidney disease that can be a major cause of impotence in men. Even diseases like multiple sclerosis, vascular diseases and atherosclerosis are a cause of impotence in a large number of men. For some men, taking harsh and strong medications like certain antibiotics could be a major source of impotence. There are certain drugs, tranquilizers and antidepressants that are also a cause of this condition. Even appetite suppressants and antihistamines can cause problems. Stress is considered to be one of the biggest causes of impotence or erectile dysfunction. Work stress or stress at home needs to be reduced to help a man to regain his sexual behavior. At times there are certain psychological factors which are big contributors too. Some of these include low self-esteem, anxiety, depression and even guilt. For some just a fear of failure sexually is enough to cause this problem. For different people this problem can vary. For some it might mean the total inability to ejaculate or to even get an erection. For some it might mean simply getting very brief and short erections. There is no clear cut test to help a man confirm if he is suffering from this problem. This problem would need to be professionally determined and addressed to help a man get some relief or to find a cure for this problem. One can try some simple home remedies to help in dealing with this problem. These include eating garlic. One could try eating about 2 to 3 cloves of garlic on a daily basis. One should include plenty of garlic in their regular diet.
