Remember Rocky? He avoided sex before the big fight.

The reason? "It weakens your legs."

If you ever saw Raging Bull (a great movie!), you watched Robert Dinero dump some ice down his shorts to quiet his raging sexual desire. Apparently sex before a boxing match puts the participant at a disadvantage.

Weak legs? Decreased performance in the boxing ring? Are these things legitimate concerns? I'll get to that. Firstly . . . where did these ideas come from, and why do they keep showing up in boxing movies? We can blame Muhammad Ali. He was very vocal about his commitment to abstain from sex for six weeks before a fight. "It makes a warrior out of you." So was he right?

For now, let's just assume it depends on how often, how active, and what you're doing with your legs at the time. Even if it does compromise the performance of a boxer vying for a title shot, there is substantive scientific evidence to prove . . . if you are fit and healthy . . . the potential for pleasure and benefit far outweighs any possible compromises in performance.

I'll get into this further, but just to alleviate your concerns, I can say with complete confidence, You do not need to dump a pitcher of ice down your shorts. Ever.
