I think it actually is relaxing for your muscles... I had very passionate sex with a fellow rider the afternoon before a century and rode to a PR (in the century, that is).

I would also advise NOT to have sex during cycling due to safety problems, although some of my friends say that sex during riding on mountain bikes is not as dangerous as doing it on road bikes.

Sorry, someone had to say it!!!! But in all seriousness and in response to Dragon Dave's question; “How does cycling affect sexual performance?” it's not just sexual performance that can be affected (Numb Penis Syndrome is well understood and persistent bouts can apparently cause a permanent restriction to blood flow through the penile artery, which will lead to erectile dysfunction). But I know of several male cyclists that have suffered bladder infections from either irritation from a poor riding position (please excuse that phrase....) in combination with dehydration. Therefore, especially for distance riding, make sure that your bike is set up just right, maybe invest in a saddle with a groove (I've got one and have never had NPS since I got it) and take plenty of fluid with you.

I'm wondering, however, if the question has a different emphasis. Do we know which performance, cycling or sexual, the original question refers to? Is it: "How does sex affect cycling performance?", or is it: "How does cycling affect sexual performance?". I would be interested to know the answer to the latter question, as there have been reports about the effects of certain saddles, incorrect riding position, length of time in the saddle etc, having a detremental effect on sexual fitness, due to the compression of the area around the prostate region over a long period. I'm no expert, so I wouldn't mind hearing from one, or two, or more. I think the damage may be overstated, avoidable, aculmulative, or even negligable, and would like to see/hear some good advice on the subject. One aspect of sexual performance that I'm certain is enhanced, however, is that of stamina, the ability to engage in the activity for longer without tiring - endurance :) It’s an interesting answer.
