how do you stop yourself from having sex a week before the fight?

i know there is probably no concrete answer for this, but i have had about 15 amateur fights so far and have "lacked aggressiveness" in them and not stopped guys that i should have KO'd. what are some of the ways you can restrain yourself from not having sex or jacking off (lol) a week prior to fighting??

jerking off actually increases the amount of testosterone the body produces, unless masturbation is excessive, it should not impact on level of aggression.

unless you jerk it the morning before a fight, then you should be okay.

As for having sex. I'm a fat ugly guy that no one wants to have sex with anyway, so I'd just skip the fight and had sex if the opportunity presented.

i'm basing all of this on rugby btw and not boxing as I have no actual fighting experience.;

It's bullshit man, all a placebo. You'll be as aggressive as you want to be and that's just the end of it.

Huh, I hadn't really considered that to be a part of boxing. But even if it is a placebo-type thing, it still make some sense. I wouldn't think that during a fight a boxer's asking himself if he shot one off in the last week though. He'd probably be focused on what he's doing, haha.

It is a consuming physical activity... try not to do it too close to a training session or the fight itself... I mean, make sure you'll have an 8 hours rest at least. Or else you might come in with weakened legs.
Other than that, having sex is ok. Though not having sex in the week of the fight might work as a motivation to dish out on your opponent... Just thinking that you'll get it sooner if you finish off the guy and take less punishment - the sooner you'll get your reward

It's a myth that it is bad for you to have sex before a fight. And as some have pointed out, it can actually increase testosterone levels.
Sadly enough, this isn't a problem for me...

There were rumours of Sonny Liston being told to KO his opponent's early because the 'squeeze' his handlers had brought for him would leave early if the fight dragged on late, abstaining for Liston had built 'the pressure within' and needed release.

Abstaining from sex for extended period has no physiological benefits but for a testosterone fuelled red blooded male if prevented from some horizontal jogging, you are going to have a aggression in your gut at the cause of your abstention...the opponent.

At end of day if you think not abstaining is affecting your boxing performance then only you can stop yourself from having sex, its self control, same as only you can force yourself to do roadwork on a cold wet day.

Your statement "lacked aggressiveness in them and not stopped guys that i should have KO'd".

Go into the bout to win if a ko occurs then great, but saying you should ko a opponent is in my opinion not in your best interests and in my fighting days i would welcome the opportunity to fight a opponent who felt that they should ko me, as that is their focus rather than them going for the win with bonus of ko if it happened, resulting in me facing a more one dimensional fighter (ko focussed).
