You may be aware with the health benefits of exercising. You can be highly familiar with the great benefits of s.e.x on a person’s health and well-being. Has it ever occurred to you how a fit physique affect sexual performance?
This article will focus on whether or not exercising and staying fit can affect a person’s sexual performance. Read on to know the relationship between physical fitness and s.e.x.
According to studies, being fit leads to experiences of more mind-blowing sex. Staying physically fit can bring several benefits into a person’s s.e.x life. Here are the benefits of staying fit when it comes to s.e.x and relationships.
- Increase in self-esteem
S.e.x is so much more than a mere physical activity. It is an amorous activity which intertwines a person’s physical, mental, psychological, and emotional capabilities.
Why do you have to maintain a healthy physique just to get laid? Simple, it is because having a well-maintained and fit body will make you feel more attractive and comfortable in your own skin. This is especially true among women.
Having a healthy body will surely help in boosting a person’s self-esteem. Additional confidence will certainly diminish any inhibitions during s.e.x – leading to more intense and active s.e.x life. Of course, being in bed with someone who has a rocking body will increase s.e.x drive and libido.
- Prevents excessive estrogen in the body
Obviously, not being able to take care of yourself physically may lead to weight gain – or worse, obesity. How does being overweight affect sexual performance?
It is a popular notion that obese men have smaller penises. Some people think this is because the abdominal fat may just be covering up the penis – making it look smaller than it is. Others may argue that it is because the penis seem smaller in contrast with the large body parts surrounding it. This notion is not just about the perception of how big or small something is. Believe it or not, there is a scientific basis to support this claim.
Excess fat in the body, especially the fat located in the abdominal area, is metabolically active. This means that it can convert testosterone into estrogen. As a hormone most commonly found in females, estrogen should not be contained in high levels within the male body. Having excessive estrogen in males will lead to feminizing effects – stripping him off of his inherent masculinity.
Aside from affecting physical appearance, excess fat in the body can biologically diminish your sexual performance. In short, too much estrogen in the male body will cause for the penis to shrink and to prevent him from functioning well sexually.
Keeping the excess weight off will prevent the overproduction of estrogen with the body. A few sessions of cardio workouts a week is a small price to pay rather than losing your manhood.
- Increase in testosterone levels in the body
Staying fit prevents excessive estrogen in the male body. Consequently, regular exercise enforce stable testosterone levels in men. Increased testosterone in the male body benefits the health, as well as s.e.x life.
The main function of testosterone is to give manly features and characteristics. This includes improving and developing muscle mass. Toned muscles are telltale signs of a body that is physically fit. Additionally, having toned muscles may also lead to stronger and more pleasurable orgasms.
Improved muscle tone can give greater sexual pleasure. This is because orgasms highly depend on the activities of multiple muscles. If the muscles in the body are toned, it would be easier to perform these muscle activities. This would result to intense orgasms, every time.
Testosterone is the male hormone also responsible for a man’s s.e.x drive. As men age, their testosterone levels decrease. Activities, such as exercising, help give men a boost in their testosterone. Higher levels in testosterone also means higher levels in libido.
- It gets harder.
During sexual arousal, the stimulation will cause the nerves in the penis to instruct the blood vessels in the penis to relax. The relaxation of the blood vessels in the penis is needed so that blood can flow freely into the penis. Once the penis obtains enough blood flow, the blood will then be trapped to cause an erection.
Men who have problems in getting an erection have problems in blood flow. Regular exercise promotes healthy blood circulation. Healthy blood flow means easier to get and maintain an erection.
- Getting more of everything
If you are great in bed without having to stay fit, then good for you. However, if you choose to stay fit and healthy, you will surely get more of what you experience sexually.
Having regular workouts will give more endurance during s.e.x. No need for that 30-minute breaks for each session. You can surely keep going without getting exhausted.
Exercising helps in gaining and strengthening the muscles in the body. It also helps in improving flexibility. Impress your partner with those different positions that you can do and have healthy s.e.x and relationship.
