Guy Question about workout side effects

Avalonis

*Disclaimer* This seems like a joke thread, but I am being completely serious. If you don't want to talk about grown up stuff, don't read anymore.

It can't be worse than all the damn period threads.


I've noticed that after a long strenuous workout where I have been doing lots of cardio, when I have sex within a few hours of it, I have MUCH more stamina and lasting power. In addition, it seems to stay considerably harder for considerably longer. Sometimes, it doesn't even go down in between "Shots on goal". I've noticed that I can last longer as well (which isn't a problem I have to begin with)

Is this something that is all in my head (pun not intended) or is this a real physical thing that happens to men?

can we have this conversation in only sports metaphors?

Yep the halftime show is quick but, the rest of the game is action packed and seems to last awhile. After doing cardio then playing the game there aren't any timeouts and penalties are nonexistent.

Obviously I don't have personal experience with this, but it DOES seem logical, since cardio increases blood flow due to your heart working harder. Plus, the addional endorphin rush (which I find lasts for quite a while after cardio) could contribute. Finally, although my equipment is clearly different, I've often found my libido increases after really fantastic workouts.

I was going to say...different equipment, but increased game play for the ladies as well.

pssssh. eff your science.

oh, so this morning, definitively pulled off a no-huddle offensive play that resulted in a quick drive and a touchdown before the defense was completely set up.

It's badass how this whole conversation is in sports metaphors.

God, I love this community.

Did the defense know there was a game going on, or were they still doing pre-game warmups?

I'm interested in someone showing me this play-by-play...

I suppose I could teach you how the game works.

Obviously, full contact might cause tears and other injuries, but I can be a gentle coach.

My husband has been sick but promised he would start working out when he was better. Surgery was Friday and he is clear to play starting this Friday. MORE than excited to see how his game will be now.

Though we play from different field houses, nah... Screw it. He did mention something about this being an adult topic, so the use of sports metaphors, while humorous, are unnecessary. I'm from the geek squad, and say sports are way over-rated.

After going on a run of any considerable length, I will warn my "opponent" that the game is very likely going to go into overtime before the winner is crowned. Sometimes several overtimes.
