60-year-old Sylvester Stallone claims he was so serious about his role in the recently released ‘Rocky Balboa” that he gave up sex to improve his performance. Stallone feels abstinence helped provide him that extra bit of energy that helped him get through the movie:

"At 60 you don't have as much energy as you did back when you were 30, so you have to conserve every bit you can," the "Rocky" star said while promoting his latest flick. "Giving up sex isn't really that hard to do and it's well known that it can improve your performance in sports — or on a movie."

Giving up sex? What kind of cockamamie idea is that. Hasn’t Sly heard of my good friend Mr. Speedball? It’s how I finished my last novel. Besides, sex doesn’t necessarily have to be a waste of energy. They key is to sit back and let the call girl do all the work. Would it be a lie to say the last chick described it as the best three and a half minutes of her life? Actually it would, that ungrateful bitch.
