My question is if too much sex affects muscle growth in a negative way. When I get into a workout program and diet I become very sexually active and will have sex 4 times a day. Will this give me diminishing returns for my effort in the gym?

And just so you know--- I am a healthy 19 year old.

the only thing i have heard is that having sex before working out, like right before working out, can have a bad effect on growth just because of the amount of testosterone you use when having sex, and afterwards it goes way down. but thats just what i have heard.

Prysm...its fine!

Just make sure you get BCAAs before and after those bouts of boinking.
To spare muscle.

Make sure you stay in a caloric surplus...it burns lots of calories too.

Actually, after sex there is a slight increase in testosterone.  But in any case, having sex will NOT affect muscle growth or athletic performance.
