If male it is also often found that not getting laid an enormous amount can also help when it comes to goal focused motivation. To resolve the ambiguity, that does not mean "frequently or for an extended duration do not have sex" but rather "do not be in a position of getting an overabundance of sex or sexual variety". I am not aware of any studies, but anecdotal observation and expert testimony is at least somewhat credible, particularly given that this is what I would expect the influence of satiation to be in general.
It is alleged that Bertrand Russell was once asked why he'd stopped devoting much of his energy to philosophy, and replied "Because I discovered fucking". (This is one of those stories that would be much funnier if actually true, but I haven't yet been able to find any good evidence for whether it is or not.)
