Can Exercise Increase Your Sexual Desire?

July 23rd, 2007 · 1 Comment

Are you in a relationship and have no desire for sex?  Exercise can be  a great drug-free way to help you get that sexual desire back. Of course, the first step, if you are concerned  about your sexual desireis to seek the help and advice of your health care provider.

Many times the  lack of desire for sex is due to how we feel about our bodies.  As we age or after having children, we don’t feel as good or as proud of the way we look.  This can have an effect on your sex life and eventually your marriage or relationship.  Fit people have proven to be more confident and comfortable with their bodies.  This fact alone, makes them more spontaneous and open to the sexual experience.

Through exercise you learn to feel different muscles. This in turn will make you more in tune with your body.  If you know you have worked hard on your physical appearance, you’re not quite so timid to “show it off”.  Physically active people can be less inhibited about their bodies than those who lead a sedentary life.  When you feel miserable about the way your body looks, then why would you want anyone else looking at it?

Exercise increases blood circulation and flow throughout the body.  So of course, blood flow to the heart, lungs, skeletal muscles and the sex organs will improve.  Not only will exercise increase blood  flow and circulation to the pelvic area, it will also increase your stamina, flexibility and pelvic strength. Many doctors are now recommending exercise to men with impotence problems and to women with problems reaching an orgasm.

So stop running to the closet to keep anyone from seeing you naked. Stop cringing when your spouse wants to engage in a healthy sex session.  Feel proud about the body you have taken action to improve through exercise.  You will feel better about your body when you work at it.

Working out is such a simple step to take to improve your sexual desire and to possibly allow you to put away those sexual disfunction medications.  Start an exercise program with your spouse!

Exercising together will allow some bonding time of a different nature and in turn give you another fun thing to share together. And if your exercise session develops into something else, just think how many calories you will burn having that “extra session” with your spouse.
