I recently watched the movie, "Raging Bull" about the career of Jake LaMotta, played by Robert DiNero. I saw references to Jake LaMotta not having sex a week before his fights. Do boxers really do this? Why?

The only reason I could think of is to increase the testosterone levels in the body, but they replenish fully in 24 hours or something. Maybe its just superstition?

Anyways I thought it was interesting.

I did or atleast tried to. I was with one fine lady when I was fighting, it was a challenge. It makes you mean!!!

Rockin' :boxing:

the reason why they say no sex....sex makes you tired

its a little unorthadoxed but thats how i understood it in the mens health mag i read
