What sort of sport?
It doesn't affect my bedroom Olympics.

I lift weights almost every day, and it certainly has an impact on my performance. For men, having an orgasm releases relaxing hormones (serotonin, prolactin, etc.) and I feel quite drained afterward and not really in the mood to workout.
I never fully masturbate before a workout for that reason, though I could hardly refuse a morning/afternoon fuck with a girl that slept over.
If I do masturbate, I make sure not to cum and only edge a little, which actually provides me a little high and some motivation. I workout at home, and might continue with some more edging right after my workout (this is actually good for testosterone levels). I usually prefer to cum later in the evening after my shower or just before going to bed.
Girls are probably a lot different though. Most of them probably don't really feel physically drained after an orgasm, though abstaining and feeling horny while working out might have a positive effect on motivation.
In terms of hormones and the likes, I don't really think it has a major impact, though having an active sex life does overall.
In other words, just do whatever feels good to you.

For me, it depends on the time of day that I'm working out.
If I'm at the gym during an afternoon/evening and I'm already a little tired from the day, sex/masturbating can drain my energy and motivation. If it's in the morning (and especially on a weekend), then it doesn't always have the same effect.

I run just about every morning weather permitting. I have run right after having sex (with men and with women) and it never seemed to have any effect on my stamina. I have also have masturbated right before going to kickboxing (which is usually in the evening) and many times I seem to have more energy (probably just on a high from the orgasm or what I was thinking of when doing it). However if I was to have a very intense orgasm or series of multiples culminating in me squirting, I would think that would severely hurt my ability to workout as I have had times where it was hard to walk since my legs felt like jelly!
I know many athletes abstain from sex before games but I have read that it usually doesn't make much difference in your energy level. I do think that it has a greater effect on men that it does on women

For men, it's not such a great idea, as it does tend to make you overly relaxed and less focused, killing the motivation to exercise. I only make sure to masturbate before a leg day if I already have some fluid congestion in the balls. Otherwise, the hopping and running could become very painful in the end... Yes, I found it out the hard way once.
Sex after a good workout is just awesome, though.

Would you advise against it? Does it adversely affect your workout or sports performance? Thanks for taking a look at this, sexy folks.x
While MOST coaches would have athletes of EITHER gender abstain a more enlightened type; KNOWING that while MALES burn testosterone during sex and women burn ESTROGEN thus RAISING their testosterone level NATURALLY; would realize THAT for FEMALES having sex just a short time PRIOR to an event would in reality be beneficial! (Another way it sucks to be male at times! LOL)

I've never found that it affects me, hell, I think it allows me to focus more on my workout in the gym and no on others near me! Nonetheless, there have been a couple small antidotal studies, so rather worthless, that suggested it made no difference, and may have even boosted performance to have sex just prior to a strenuous workout.
I wonder however, unless you are a professional, or it's the largest event of the year for you, does it truly mater if you lose a fraction of your peak? And that's if it actually does make a difference at all.

For me, yes, it makes a difference. To keep progressing in bodybuilding, you have to hit the extra repetition that the next guy might not even dare to attempt.
I really have to be in the right mood and retain all my focus to achieve that properly. And I'm far from being a professional, mind you.

No, not a pro here. I'm just someone who's pretty active in team sports (netball at college level) and wants to get the most out of their workout each time
I personally find that it affects my game, if not physically then psychologically. Like in my mind, I feel slower or more lethargic.
A belated thank you to all you sexy folks above who replied to this thread.
If anyone else has anything to add or wants to share their opinion on this, go for it.x

Kama sutra has some teachings on loosing energy when cumming. I always use my runs or workouts as an edge to a great reward when I'm done.

Never masturbated before a workout or exercise... Sex AFTER a workout or exercise... It can be fun if you have not exhausted yourself during the exercise ofcourse.
Before big sports games in college and pro leagues, many coaches advise (some even require) the players abstain until after the game. As stated by others, the thought is it can be draining physically. For me personally, I won't masturbate or have sex before playing something like basketball or going for a run as I have found that impacts my play (feel slower, tired, etc). But, if I am doing a workout without lots of running, I will do it - but I am by no means a pro or hardcore body builder or workout person - just a middle aged guy wanting to say fit and healthy

I have sex in the morning before my run. It wakes me right up, gets me hyper and more in tune with my body.
However, if I'm working out later in the day (say at the gym), sex will make me a little sluggish if I'm kind of tired or either
too playful and I won't get as much done.

Avoid sex or masturbation before playing rugby or boxing - save the agression
It is a good release afterwards :-)

I've found that a good bit of teasing to build up arousal before the gym helps me tremendously with stamina. If I'm distracted by my horniness, I tend to go longer on the treadmill. Just lately, I've not been allowed to come for... nearly two weeks. Sir said no. But the teasing is allowed. I've gotten used to the nearly constant arousal. It's a truly magnificent motivator.

I find workouts usually make me horny. So even if I feel like rubbing one out before, I prefer heading to the gym first and then my post workout feels much better than it usually does.

While playing football in college no I wanted to be well rested. Now before or after my workout my sex performance does not change.

I hit the gym 6 days a week, typically in afternoons. If I cum in the morning, I'm fine, but NEVER in the afternoon before. However, I do love to edge and quit before I go to gym...
