We've all heard regular exercise can reduce the risk of chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and depression.
But more and more research shows it may have another effect, improving your sex life. We've known this for years and now research is really proving it decade after decade.
Consistent exercise is literally natural Viagra. Regular exercise is associated with a lower risk of erectile dysfunction. A frequently cited study showed that sedentary middle-aged men that participated in a vigorous exercise program for nine months reported more frequent sexual activity, improved sexual function, and greater satisfaction.**
For newbies, the ones whose fitness levels increased most, saw the biggest improvements in their sex lives.
Women who are physically active report greater sexual desire, arousal, and satisfaction than women who are not. There's one crazy experiment that showed that young women who did intense cycling for 20 minutes and watched an X-rated film showed greater physiological sexual arousal, measured by vaginal blood flow, than subjects who did not exercise before seeing the film.***
Another study from 2018, suggest increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system, positive body image, and increased sexual pleasure all resulted from exercise.****
Simply put, exercise equals easier sexual arousal and increased pleasure in men and women!!!
