Other coaches, such as Costa Rica's Jorge Luis Pinto, is happy for his players to engage in sexual activity as long as they winning on the pitch. He said: 'I can assure, with no doubts, they will be able to "enjoy themselves" just as soon as they qualify for the next round.'
It was believed for a long time that sex has a detrimental effect on an athlete's performance, distracting them or exhausting them before a big match but more recent research showed that this was not the case with scientists claiming there is no physiological evidence to suggest this.
Unfortunately a relaxed policy to time with loved ones didn't work for England, who failed to climax and left the tournament at the group stage.
