I want to know if it has an effect on performance, maybe changing some chemical balances or something. I want every edge.

Yeah, I want to destroy my competition.

Just as long as you clean off your hand before you put it back in your glove, you should be fine.

Probably would just before a race. Males release endorphins after sex which help us go off to sleep.
Getting a good night sleep before a race is an advantage, so that is the yarn I would spin to my wife. You could also throw in that you will be a few ounces lighter.
If you want added incentive you could try having sex withheld if you don't win. If things aren't going that well, then you could start singing a few choruses of "Pinks" u and ur hand to yourself.
Getting really angry seems to give a few people an edge.

Nah, I've seen on some report that it may actually boost your performance...pumping yourself up
But, sex the day or night before will drain your body...coaches would always tell us to stay away from the ladies before game day...

Yes. Any physical activity including swimming.

Maybe you should try experimenting...
One day, get a good night's sleep, then ride a distance in the morning and time it.
Another day, have sex, ride ur bike the next morning for the same distance, and time it.
If the times favor sleep, sleep. Otherwise, u kno wut to do...;)

Different strokes for different folks. It didn't help me. I got a sore butt and thighs. Didn't ride the way I like the next day.

Several pro mtb racers have spoken that they had sex the night (if not the morning) of a race. I guess that as long as you don't have sex the WHOLE night, you're ok... enjoy! ;)

No, my performance was actually superb.
Didn't ride very well the next day, though.
