Candlelight dinners,
sweet gifts, and soft music are some things people do to initiate intimate
relations. But can exercise work just as well and contribute to a healthy sex
life? According to the American Council on Exercise, it can. Heating your sex
life can be accomplished through maintaining a good exercise regimen improving
sexual function in both men and women. Exercise is not only a physical but
mental activity much like sex is. Exercise can enhance sexuality because of
the benefits gained in muscle strength, endurance, and cardiovascular
functioning. Increased performance of blood flow and increased levels of
testosterone levels all lead to a robust and energetic sex life. Studies
published in the Electronic Journal of Human Sexuality conclude that people who
regularly exercise have a better perception of themselves, and are more
confident in their physical abilities, and find themselves more sexually
attractive which all add to feelings of competency in lovemaking. They also
experience higher levels of satisfaction or may feel more sexually desirable to
the opposite sex.
For men, a
good healthy body contributes to a good healthy erection and reduction of the
risks for impotency. Adding years to a man's life, exercise increases blood
flow allowing for better erections with a more than 30 percent lower risk of
impotence than men who do not regularly exercise. Because good circulation is
necessary for good sexual functioning, it stands to reason that performance is
enhanced with better circulation and increased blood flow to organs used when
having sex. On the other hand, men who are obese or overweight have mental and
physical limitations that interfere with the positive effects of good
circulation. They may feel less adequate when having sex, or experience
difficulty with the physical demands of sexual activity. Slimming down is a
great ego boost, and it gets some of the "extra baggage" out of the
way.
For women, a good
exercise program could have a positive effect on their sex loves with increase
enthusiasm, cardio, and muscular endurance as well. Females may find that they
are able to hold positions for longer periods of time and enjoy longer-lasting
sex and greater comfort. Greater comfort during sex and increased endurance has
the possibility of better ability to achieve orgasms for women who have a
problem achieving satisfying orgasms. Conditioning of the body and its muscle
groups allow for greater flexibility, making the sexual activity more enjoyable
as you are able to try new things that might not have been possible before.
I'll let you use your imagination for this one.
Boosting your
sex life with physical activity is boosting your overall general health and the
healthier you are the better your sex life can be. The psychological benefits
such as improved self-esteem, good mood, and increased confidence along with
stress reduction benefits are immediately noticeable. The more your health and
physical abilities improve the better your sex life can be. Simple exercises
like walking briskly at least two miles per day can reap wonderful benefits in
the bedroom. So just imagine the benefits you could gain from an overall
exercise regime. So, getting healthy and staying healthy only has more benefits
than you might have originally thought.
If you are really
interested in getting fit, you should look into a membership at your local gym.
You can use their cardio machines and weight machines to gain considerable
stamina and muscle mass. You may even skip the gym membership, and go for a run
every day. This will get you in great shape as well, it just depends on how
much you want to get into the whole fitness thing. Being fit has hundreds of
benefits, and better sex is just one of them. So as soon as you can, start
doing more research related to how you can get fit, and how it will help you in
life
