sex and test levels

[capnnoway]

This is a serious question I have wondered about for years, so please no flaming....

Does sex affect Test. levels?

Would having sex 10 times a day increase or decrease natural levels of test. in the body?

Also, what about sex immediately before or after a workout?
bad or good?

I mean, guys, we schedule everthing else... when to lift, when to do cardio, when to eat our meals... when is the best time to have sex in order to increase natural test levels???

Does a guy that does it 10 times a day have higher test. levels than a guy doing it once a week?

I have never seen a study that found increased sex= increased test levels. Though I have heard of some people not having sex before a game to get psyched up. The way I look at it, if you can get/handle sex 10 times a day, then by all means... SINK THE PINK.

I can't see how sex could increase test levels. If that where the case male porn stars would look like bodybuilders.

I dont have sex before my workouts, I get lazy and unmotivated when I do, dont know if its any relation.

but don't men with high natural test levels, have a higher sex drive?


I guess I am asking if the inverse could be true... if you could build up your sex drive naturally, would it increase the natural test. production.

Personally, I think it's like this: If you have a naturally high test level, you'll have more of a sex drive. Since test level is directly responsible for sex drive (excluding criminal sexual compulsions, of course), you should not be able to naturally increase your sex drive. And if you were to do something like hang out at titty bars all day to try to increase your sex drive, it still would not increase your natural test level any more than acting like a 15 year old would increase your GH level.

I like the acting like a 15 yr. old analogy lol. but libido is not a totally accurate indicator of test levels. Dopamine is a modulator of sexual desire. Sexual stimulation causes a dopamine rush. Increased dopamine levels can make you hornier, independent of test levels. I bet if the test levels of guys in sexual addiction programs were measured, they would not be sky high (though I bet none would be low) but their neurochamical balance would be off kilter. Or take marriage for example (thankfully haven't experienced it myself) guy marries hot woman, year later he's banging every 6 months. His test levels haven't changed (it takes at least 5 years of nagging to do that), but she just doen't turn him on, why? Dopamine.

throughout my life I had always had trouble having a high sex drive...even though im only 21 yrs old. I always thought it was a problem of low test levels...high estrogen levels. SO i decided to take Liquidex by itself to see if it would help. I t didnt help at all.... I actually started retaining a little more water than before on it. So i researched on this and I found out that estrogen supresses prolactin levels...and my prolactin levels were what was causing my diminished sex drive in the first place...and when i added liquidex, this only made it worse for me. So i decided to take Bromocriptine at 2.5 mgs a day for 2 weeks....and now two weeks after stopping my prolactin levels are so much lower...ive leaned up alot...especially my chest fat (caused by prolactin) and my sex drive is soaring. just my 2 cents on the subject

Sonny,
Where can one find Bromocriptine? Is it a RX or a Over the counter in a GNC shop product? Any links or info on this appreciated...

There have been studies done and sex does not increase or decrease test levels and/or athletic activity.

Now if one was to have sex for an extended period of time then he could by physically exhausted which would in turn lower test levels and effect physical activity.
