How Frequently Should Bodybuilders Have Sex?
Sex burns a lot of calories, and at the same time, it has a direct relationship with muscle-building, too.
So, if you’re a bodybuilder, or say an athlete, a gymnastic, or any other kind of person who does a LOT of physical activity, does sex ruin your performance?
Well, if this question has been bothering you recently, we have put together this post, especially for you! Read till the end to figure out how much sex is too much for you.
But first, let’s make sure you aren’t confusing the term “bodybuilding” with “fitness”.
Bodybuilding and fitness — are they different?
They are!
Fitness is something everyone should pursue. It’s a life necessity; everyone should be doing at least a bit of workout every day to keep themselves healthy.
If you’re hitting the gym 5 times a week, working out, and taking your proteins, you’re pursuing “fitness”. It’s not called bodybuilding.
Bodybuilding is when you go out of the way and pursue muscle-building as a career. As a bodybuilder, you might have to take supplements that aren’t usually recommended for most people. Your muscle size would be enormous, only so you can compete in various competitions or show them off on social media and build a career out of it.
If you’re categorizing yourself as a fitness freak, there’s no need to worry about your sex frequency. You can do it as much as you like, as frequently as you like.
However, if the definition of bodybuilding fits well with you, keep reading, as we’ve got some interesting pieces of information for you.
So, how much sex is too much for bodybuilders?
Your body needs testosterone to build muscles at a faster pace. At the same time, you need testosterone to perform in the bed, too.
On average, your body takes around 24-48 hours to regain the lost testosterone after ejaculation. So, if you have sex today and go to work out after 5 hours, your muscles won’t grow that much. The impact won’t be too drastic, that’s why it doesn’t matter for normal people who just work out to stay fit.
However, if you’re a bodybuilder, every bit of testosterone matters to you. So, it’s not recommended to have sex the same day you’re going to the gym. But — as you’re a bodybuilder, you’re probably hitting the gym 6 days a week.
So, we recommended having sex only 1-2 times per week.
This rate would give your body plenty of time to recover its testosterone to build muscle. At the same time, it’s just enough to keep your sexual desires under control.
But, don’t hold yourself back…
A piece of advice: don’t hold your sexual desires too much.
If you’re refraining from more frequent sex just because you want to build muscle, you aren’t doing it right!
Your body needs to stay in the optimum state to build muscles. If you’re holding yourself back from sex, your body is likely to suffer from physical stress. After all, sex is like food for your body; it’s a basic necessity.
So, don’t yourself back if you’re sexually more active. Have sex whenever you feel like it, but refrain from doing it too often.
Final thoughts
Your body needs testosterone to build muscle, and you need testosterone to perform in bed.
So, you need to find the right balance between the two to excel in both activities. After all, you don’t want to get embarrassed in any of the two, do you?

Jeffery Vargas — 2 hours ago
Hello to everyone, I’m Jefferey Vargas from Malta. My girlfriend ended our relationship for seemingly no reason and I came to understand that my financial struggles may have contributed to this as a healthy relationship is difficult without money and aside from God, having more money is often seen as vital. For spellcasting, Lord Meduza is the right person to turn to. My girlfriend left me for another man due to my financial situation, but after connecting with Lord Meduza, he created a spell that not only brought my girlfriend back but also made me a lottery winner of €116 million by providing me with the 6 lucky numbers. Everything feels almost unreal but I assure you this is genuine and it’s occurring. My life is incredibly beautiful and I owe my deepest appreciation to Lord Meduza as his efforts are the epitome of excellence. I strongly encourage everyone that needs help to reach him via email: lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com or you WhatsApp this number +1 (807) 907-2687.

I never thought I’d fall for a romance scam, but it happened. I met someone on a popular dating site who seemed genuine, kind, and emotionally supportive. Over time, we developed what I thought was a real connection. Then came the stories—emergencies, business problems, and travel issues—and before I knew it, I had sent over $85,000 trying to help them.
When they suddenly disappeared and deleted their profile, my world came crashing down. I was heartbroken and ashamed. A friend encouraged me to reach out to Steve Wozniak Wizard, and honestly, I didn’t expect much. But he was incredibly professional, compassionate, and efficient.
He handled everything discreetly, launched a full investigation, and within a few weeks, they recovered almost all of my lost funds. I couldn’t believe it—after being scammed emotionally and financially, I finally had some justice and closure.
Steve Wozniak Wizard didn’t just recover my money, he helped me reclaim my peace of mind. If you’ve been scammed online, don’t stay silent. These people know what they’re doing, and they genuinely care.

💔 Romance Scam – I Lost $275K
I never thought I’d fall for a scam, but I did. I met someone online, we talked daily, built trust, and he convinced me to invest in crypto “for our future.” It started small, then I drained my savings, retirement, even borrowed money — and lost $275,000.
The betrayal hurt more than the money. I felt ashamed and alone — until a friend introduced me to JetWebHackers. They recovered my stolen crypto in just 48 hours. Their service was fast, professional, and life-changing.

Mavis Wanczyk — 2 days ago
Being the winner of a multi-million-dollar lottery certainly is a life-changing event for almost every single lottery winner. My name is Mavis Wanczyk from Chicopee, Massachusetts, the famous Powerball lottery winner of $758 million (£591m). I know many people would wonder how I had won the lottery. Would you believe me if I told you that I did it with spell casting? I met this famous spell caster known as Great Odunga and he was the one who did it for me. As shocking as it was to me, my famous comment to the press was “ I’m going to go and hide in my bed.” Never did I believe that Great Odunga made me wealthy overnight. If you want to have your chance of winning and becoming very wealthy just like me, contact Great Odunga at odungaspelltemple@outlook.com OR Email: odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and WHATS-APP HIM at +2348167159012 and you will be lucky. Thanks for reading and hope to see you at the top
