It's common sense between many cultures and philosophies that sex drains energy, at least for males.

What kind of pervert, anti-human-nature "culture" and "philosophy" you are talking about? Haven't they victimized and taken the happiness away from enough people already? Not to mention that being a Brazilian I suppose you should appreciate the positive value of sex very well?

How does it draining energy mean it won't help?

It's "common sense" in many cultures that the opposite is true.

More importantly, the positive benefits of regular sex have been made evident by virtually every study ever done on the matter.

Stress lowers libido though, so I wonder how one would have energy for sex while feeling burned out.

Another datapoint of common-sense being bullshit.
