The cycling champion - who has dated celebrities including Kate Hudson and Sheryl Crow - admits his gruelling training sometimes has got in the way of his sex life, but believes his performances always rate highly.
He said: "I had sex if I had the energy. I wasn't one of those guys who believed in the myths about the guy losing his chi.
"But the fact is that if you are riding your bike five, six, seven hours a day, you are not a sex champion. You're just not. You have fatigue, low testosterone and a lower libido. But you know, I never got any complaints!"
The 36-year-old sportsman also revealed he finds it hard to maintain relationships because of the intense interest in his private life.
Lance, who has overcome testicular cancer, added to Men's Journal magazine: "I think it's hard for me, or for anyone in my position, to call someone up and say, 'Hey, can I take you on a date?' It's never like that. I meet people casually, while hanging out with friends, so there's less pressure.
"I made a mistake to let the public into my relationship with Sheryl, even though it didn't feel like a mistake at the time. It put a lot of pressure on the relationship, and I will never do it again."
