wow. after about 10 days of absolutley no sexual activity, i went to the gym for the second time during that period, and i couldn\'t believe my strength. For the first time ever I was able to lift almost as much on the second sets as i was on the first (and this is during 5 rep max phase). This is also with only 2 min rest between sets!
Also, my girlfriend keeps mentioning how my body felt hot (temperature wise) and how she could sense my vitality throuhg my veins. And mental focus is incredible!
I\'ve also noticed body odour changes - but can\'t be sure - maybe it\'s the heat, but my armpits have intensified in odour - to me it smells like urine, but according to her, my body smells nice.
I spoke to a friend who\'s a martial artist and he told me this is normal and that ur testosterone rises when u abstain, but u shouldn\'t abstain for too long coz ur libido will dull.
well i did some googling and came up with this on pubmed:

A research on the relationship between ejaculation and serum testosterone level in men.

The purpose of this study is to gain understanding of the relationship between ejaculation and serum testosterone level in men. The serum testosterone concentrations of 28 volunteers were investigated daily during abstinence periods after ejaculation for two phases. The authors found that the fluctuations of testosterone levels from the 2nd to 5th day of abstinence were minimal. On the 7th day of abstinence, however, a clear peak of serum testosterone appeared, reaching 145.7% of the baseline ( P < 0.01). No regular fluctuation was observed following continuous abstinence after the peak. Ejaculation is the precondition and beginning of the special periodic serum testosterone level variations, which would not occur without ejaculation. The results showed that ejaculation-caused variations were characterized by a peak on the 7th day of abstinence; and that the effective time of an ejaculation is 7 days minimum. These data are the first to document the phenomenon of the periodic change in serum testosterone level; the correlation between ejaculation and periodic change in the serum testosterone level, and the pattern and characteristics of the periodic change.

makes complete sense - coz it was only the second time i went to the gym (which was after 7 days) during which i noticed this.
anyone else have experience or knowledge in this department?
btw i\'ve abstained a couple times before for fun - once for 1.5 months, but this was before i was into doing the gym thing - but i did notice vastly improved mental focus and power.
