do any of you notice a difference in libido during times of taper? how about peak volume, or rest weeks? Dr. Ruth wants to know.
pretty much I want it every day, regardless of training volume

Ew. TMI man.
like any other man is different.
well, I take that back, all those of us under 45 who don’t need cialis
Definite decrease in libido during peak volume. Comes back with a vengeance during taper.
My wife and I did several Ironman together and it was never a problem cause we were both wasted. It went like: Her:‘honey, please make love to me’, Me: ‘too tired…, you make love to me’, Her: ‘too tired… let’s sleep’. We never did much training in the few months after an Ironman so we had ample time to catch up.

i read men want sex/think about sex every 7 seconds. possibly this is why you are all so dysfunctional. (just kidding…lol. we’re all dysfunctional!)
I am always tapering
I have 7 kids 
dirt.
never notice a difference whether I’m training a lot (> 15 hours / week), training a little, tapering, not training. Pretty much the only time I’m not interested is when I’m sleeping or within a short period of the event.
Depends what she looks like.
hard training makes me feel healthy, alive and frisky.
relaxing makes me relaxed and frisky.
Depends what she looks like.
I agree 100%, that happens even when im not tapering.
That’s funny. I know at least four triathletes in San Diego who are full-on swingers (literally). Good looking too… I’ll have to ask them what they think about your question, but I’d say that just from what I know about them their libido is plenty healthy throughout the season.
But that’s so untrue. Maybe men more than women…but every 7 seconds?? Sure some men. But I am a 28 yr.old male and I can take it or leave it. I can go for weeks without.
But…I would say I don’t have a huge libido during the heavy training part of the season, especially. When I am not training for a couple of days…yes, the libido is there.
But…I know women who need it more than I do!

I can’t wait for Learn to post on this thread…
hahahhahahaha…i hear ya’ man…try this…just act like you don’t need sex around your girlfriend for a while. She will begin to wonder. Then, she’ll start wanting it and get upset when you don’t. Change the game!

Nope…early to mid 20’s

Who wouldn’t be horny despite training volume when your getting ‘strange’ on a daily basis? Or weekly at that!
It’s not the worst way of measuring your taper IMO, when your sex drive is suddenly way up, you know you’re ready to race!
