I used to think that masturbating before any physical activity was a guaranteed way to feel sluggish, but honestly, I’ve had mixed results. Sometimes I feel fine, other times a bit lazier—but I’ve also had days where I felt exhausted even without any sexual activity. So, I think it’s not as simple as just “masturbation = fatigue.”
One thing I’ve noticed is that my mindset plays a huge role. If I feel guilty or believe that I’ve "wasted energy," I tend to have a worse workout. But if I just see it as a normal biological function and don’t overthink it, my performance is the same. Maybe a lot of the fatigue people report is psychological rather than physical.
I also wonder if it depends on the type of exercise. High-intensity activities like sprinting or weightlifting might be more affected by slight hormonal changes, while endurance-based activities like long-distance running or tennis might not be impacted much at all. Your example with tennis makes me think that ejaculation doesn’t really affect stamina, at least not in a noticeable way.
At the end of the day, I think the key factors are hydration, sleep, and nutrition. If those are in check, then masturbation is probably not going to make a huge difference. I might have to do my own little experiment to see if I notice any change.
