Sex And Exercise - The American Council on Exercise
Has Some Great Advice For Men
Exercise Can Spice Up Your Sex Life! There is a direct
correlation between exercise and improved sexual function. According to the
American Council on Exercise (ACE), sex and exercise compliment each other. If
you want to heat up your sex life but don't know how, head to the gym for a
workout with your partner. Better yet, work out at home on your own
home exercise and fitness equipment.
Read some of these studies done on sex and exercise and you'll be convinced to
start on the road to better health.
"A growing body of evidence supports the notion that regular exercise may
enhance sexuality through a variety of mechanisms that affect both the mind
and body," said Dr. Cedric Bryant, chief exercise physiologist for ACE.
"Physical improvements in muscle strength and tone, endurance, body
composition and cardiovascular function (specifically, enhanced peripheral
blood flow) can all enhance sexual functioning. Be careful not to over-train;
too much exercise can actually decrease testosterone levels leading to a
less-robust sexual appetite."
According to a study that appeared in the Electronic Journal of Human Sexuality,
people who exercise regularly feel better about themselves. Sex and exercise
lets them experience greater levels of satisfaction and they perceive themselves
as sexually more desirable. The American Medical Association reported that
changes in lifestyles, such as reduced calorie intake and regular exercise will
improve erectile dysfunction in obese men.
Exercise can add years to a man's sex life and lower the
chance of impotence. Researchers looked at men over the age of 50 and found those who were physically active reported better erections with a 30 percent lower risk of impotence than men who were inactive.
Sex and exercise compliment each other because exercise strengthens the
cardiovascular system and improves circulation. And we all know that good
circulation is vital for sexual potency, whereas obesity, smoking or heavy alcohol use can hamper this effect.
"Sexual function is affected by general health and the more you can do to
improve your health with physical activity, the better your sex life can be,"
said Bryant. "Exercise has psychological benefits as well such as stress
reduction, improved self-esteem, elevated mood and increased confidence that
can also contribute to a more enriched sex life."
