Im sorry if this seems inappropriate but it is important. Is it bad to masturbate before a race? I am a runner and I have a race in under 24 hours. I have heard that it can make you run slower if you do it the night before a race. Does it lower the amount of testosterone, causing you to not be able to run as fast. I am running a 9 mile race tomorrow. I just wanted to know if this was a myth or a fact. Thanks
Good day, and thank you for being with Chat Doctor !!! There are no studies that compared endurance and agility of men running a marathon whether ejaculation or masturbation would have an impact on performance. That being said in my opinion as a Urologist, I don't think it would have a significant effect as long as you have a good night sleep before the race.
