Normal rest is necessary

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the information.

It can be partly right to say that the more you get engaged in sexual activities your hormones levels may drop down. It is very essential to keep the testosterone levels at required quantities all the time to build muscle.

I would not recommend sex daily twice , that surely will exhaust you in terms of hormone and many other supporting hormones needed to workout with concentration and energy.

Sex every alternate day is also fine to keep you physiology healthy.
Over usage of any part either the sex activities or the muscle building will always have bad effects.

5 days a week workout and 3 to 4 times sexual activities in a week is right way of living through both.
