Poker and Sex

Casinos hire good-looking employees to attract and distract customers. Like a corolary to Murphy's Law, the number of people you are sexually attracted to, but can not have, is proportional to your level of sexual frustration. Studies show that the frequency of sexual thoughts when we are awake or asleep is correlated with the level of our sexual frustration. If you are sexually frustrated,you may have trouble concentrating on poker.

Having a sexual desire for someone you find physically attractive is a normal biological reaction. Player's often say,"It's the chase that I like." Maybe what they really like is being chased. It is flattering that someone you hardly know is willing to go to bed with you, but you are fooling yourself. It is far more satisfying when someone who knows you as a person is interested in you, than when a women is pursuing you for your "pocket charm" because it will enhance her gambling career.

Chips of large denominations can have an aphrodisiac effect. In the casino society, where everything gets reduced to its monetary value,sex if often just another commodity. In order to get sex some men prey on women who are in need of money. They may try to speed up the casual sex cycle by introducing drugs and alcohol. Many players quit good games to chase women and spend a lot of money just to satisfy their sexual desires. This can lead to serious financial consequences,not to mention the health risks involved. In these encounters, the predator may become the prey if one partner in the relationship is in need of financial support. Becoming a sugar daddy can have a devestating effect on one's gambling bankroll. Complete honesty with yourself and awareness that you have these sexual cravings may help you to avoid some of these pitfalls or prevent them from getting out of hand.

Sexual frustration occurs more frequently in males than in females, but women players may also use sex for relaxation. In addition, women on the road are more likely to seek friendship since they tend to share their feelings more freely than men do.If you have sex before you go to sleep you probably will be more rested and less distracted when you play. Therefore, a sex partner who travels with you can be a big asset when you play. IN THEORY, if your partner isn't with you when you go on an extended poker trip out of town, a relatively steady substitute will give you a competitive advantage. Some spouses of athletes and politicans may accept this as part of the territory, but poker players DO NOT have that kind of status.

yes but all the drama that comes with a relationship takes a toll just as much as sexual frustration in my opinion
