A new study proves that men who are serious about weightlifting will be able to lift much heavier objects after watching erotic videos. Scientists showed different types of video clips to male athletes and then studied their performance after the workout. They found changes in testosterone levels in saliva analysis. Those who watched erotic videos performed better than those who watched other types of videos.
Watching different types of clips produces incredibly different saliva test results. Men can lift heavier weights after watching porn videos. Erotic, aggressive, humorous, educational, and motivating clips were the ones that caused a significant increase in testosterone levels. But sad and neutral clips caused a significant drop in testosterone levels in the samples. Saliva samples were collected immediately before watching and 15 minutes after watching the 4-minute clip. The athletes had to lift the weights in three attempts.
Significant improvements were noted after the study participants watched clips of certain content. This study, as well as previous similar ones, once again confirms the truth: sex increases the performance of an athlete. Although it was previously believed that sex should never be had before a start. Even in the distant 50s and 60s, people thought that sex had a negative impact on the performance of athletes. Sex relieves mental fatigue.
