i just finished watching the seinfeld epsiode 'abstinence', and in that episode george stops having sex and he becomes a genius of teh caliber of leonardo davinci and the like

do you guys and gals think there is anything to it?
are people more intelligent when they have no sex for a while?

>> No.5029838

Here's some evidence. I never had sex and I'm highly intelligent.

>> No.5029850

would you in the interest of science (well not really) make an iq TEST NOW THEN HAVE SEX AND MAKE ANOTHER iq TEST?
so we can compare the results?
then we only need a couple thousand others willing to do teh same -__- why do i even post?

>> No.5029864

They're probably just more anxious. Anxiety can make you want to figger stuff.

>> No.5029869

Abstaining certainly frees up a lot of time and energy otherwise spent on (trying to achieve) sexual fulfilment.

Unless it gets you frustrated as fuck.

>> No.5029871

Absolutely everything on Seinfeld was 100% True and factual.

>> No.5029872

You misinterpreted the episode.

George isn't smarter because he's not having sex, but rather because he no longer thinks about sex, this is made quite clear when Jerry does his cabbage analogy.

So the question should be : Does not ever thinking about sex make you smarter?

I'd be very surprised if the answer is no, just considering how much time I wasted I high school.

Refraining from sex leads to wizard powers, not intellect.

I think there's a big difference between deeply ingrained personality traits which make you less likely to have sex and their effect on intelligence and just casually abstaining from sex to see the short-term effect. The most noticeable effect would be in those people who are, say, virgins in their late 20s.

I wouldn't be smarter, but I would be a lot more productive if I didn't spend 2 hours every day jerking off to porn.
When I'm in the state of mind I likewise spend a lot of time trying to get laid.

I would imagine the human body functions at its peak when it's getting sex so there might be a slight increase in intelligence, but this would be counteracted by the time lost.

in my beloved country we have a saying: "dumm fickt gut!" (lit.: 'dumb people are good in bed' ); and i heard a lot of people saying: the sex in a realationship gets better over time!
thus the good sex must mean - they are becoming dumb; because of all the sex- they are having, now that they arent single anymore.

But you do gain INT points.

This is fucking stupid. Of course you don't become more intelligent if you skip a day of sex. Also, I noticed up there that people think if you take an IQ test one day as a virgin, then next day as a fulfilled sex man you'll draw some conclusion. Bullshit. It's not the sex itself, but the attitude that people who are trying to attract others have. If you're distracted by sexual shit all the time of course you're not going to focus entirely on other things.

The obviousness of this is just fucking fuck fukcufkcurjvkfidjckmiosjckm4 985iojfk498eoir jckmueiogrjc8uirg

but what when you just stop having sex for six weeks?
also the lack of errections could mean you got your blood where it is really needed
and it could mean that you are less excited and excitement is poison for your IQ
what about the sleep deprivation?
what about the other things i forgot to mention?

Look, I have sex regularly and I'm able to think about things just fine. If anything, having that covered in my day to day life just makes things easier. Having sex all the time now just lets me focus on other things.

This is because I have a girlfriend. If you're a person who goes after chicks all the time then it's different. Having a relationship is way more of a mature experience.

I know what I'm saying is confusing and contradictory, I'm just thinking through my keyboard.

>> No.5029906

There's probably a balance.
Too much sex and you're constantly weary from exhaust and dat orgasm chemical. Not to mention you're using up a lot of time that could be spent researching.

No sex or masturbation however and you'll likely be agitated all the time.
Your thoughts may drift to sex as well.

Based on this, I claim that the optimum amount of sex in a day is somewhere in the range of (0, ∞)

I don't think the human body will ever be able to give up the attraction sex during its reproductive ages.
Granted I don't have the sources to back it up.
I can say that I'm an ex-mormon though and I know a few mormons that have never even masturbated.
They're not right in the head. (lol anecdotal evidence.)

Anyway, assuming this is true, you might be able to find other things to do, but it's going to take more willpower to overcome the agitation/distraction than if you just jerked one out once in a while.
