Luckily (or not, depending on how you look at it) she was a cheerleader in college, so she had more than enough excuses as to where/when it happened...BUT...it did put the brakes on her cheerleading days for a bit!

I'm so sorry for you![/reply]

maybe if it weren't on every channel on TV and the cover of every magazine (unlike triathlon) it would have some novelty. Being reminded of it less might increase its luster.

Are you serious? How other people feel about, advertise, sell, etc. sex has a bearing on how you feel about it? That's kinda sad.

How has the QUALITY of your sex life been impacted by triathlon and training?
Improved........... X
Deteriorated.......

we're all affected by things that are in our face all the time, whether we admit it or not. Are you suggesting advertising doesn't work?

Shame - just when I switched to your magazine from the "other one" hoping it would be a little more serious and less fluffy with stupid crap, you post this. Go figure!

NamssoB,

I would encourage you to give this issue a chance. I believe you will be suprised how classy the presentation by our edit and photo staff will be. Below is a note from our editor, Sarah Toland.

"While sex has been exploited by advertising and the media to attract more customers and revenue, sex and relationships are natural components of all lifestyles, including multisport. The task of trying to balance training and personal relationships is the focus of many reader emails and complaints, and we feel the issue of sex in triathlon, by the nature of the sport's consuming time constraints and demands on the body and mind, needs to be addressed. We're sorry if the subject of sex makes some readers uncomfortable, but to ignore a crucial aspect in triathlon is doing both our subscribers and the sport a disservice."

Best in sport,
Lars

It's late and I'm going to bed so I won't take the survey but I learned through experience not to have sex or wine the night before a race. Two beers are OK (not 3 or more). Brushing your teeth is OK also.

i don't think it comes down to sex or train; many of us are married, and older than 21 (which is about the age the survey seems geared towards)

I'll be interested to see what you can glean from the survey since I honestly don't feel that it was structured very well. I think a good number of people on this forum wouldn't mind spending 3-5 minutes doing a well structured survey.

There are three kinds of people, those who can count, and those who can't.

I love how everyone tries to make sex and exercise quantitative instead of qualitative. I know some runners joke that sex is equal to a mile run. I say it all depends on the type of sex you have. I've PRed after having sex an hour before a race yet totally dogged morning intervals after my girlfriend didn't care what my training plan called for. If you have a big race, you're likely going to do better doing something (in moderation) that will relax you the night before. Sex, beer, guns, A-Team, whatever calms your nerves probably won't hurt...:)

why would anyone need a poll about something so vitally critical?

and if it only takes 30 seconds :-)

I had a friend in high school drop his PR in the 2 mile from 10:00 to 9:40 at the regional state meet (held at our high school). 15 minutes before the race he was with his girlfriend in the pole barn that was used to store the mats for the high jump.

Apparenly, getting relaxed right before a big race can also do the trick.

Poor.. poor Mequonman. No one's really taking the bait are they? But I did enjoy your posts. Very creative!
