As regular Exercise has proven to reduce the risk of some chronic diseases,such as Diabetes,It has also been proven to improve our sexual lifestyles.
In men, regular exercise seems to be a natural Viagra. This is due to a lower risk of problems with erection. In one study, middle-aged sedentary men assigned to participate in an energetic exercise program for nine months reported more frequent sexual activity, improved sexual function, and greater satisfaction. Those whose fitness levels increased the most, saw the greatest improvements in their sex life.
Studies conducted by women showed that those who are physically active report greater sexual desire, awakening and satisfaction than women who are sedentary. In one unusual experiment, young women who were actively cycling for 20 minutes and watched a movie rated X showed greater physiological sexual arousal (measured by a device that estimates vaginal blood flow) than subjects who did not exercise before seeing the film.
Increased blood flow helps explain why exercises lead to better sexual function in men. Also can play a strengthened image of yourself from the exercises. Men and women who exercise can be more likely to feel sexual desire, which can lead to better sex. Thus, you can increase the strength, flexibility and endurance that result from exercises.
In addition, physical activity, especially strength training, can increase testosterone levels, which can increase sexual attraction in men and women. However, overtraining can have the opposite effect, reducing testosterone levels. Indeed, a recent study
found that men who perform very vigorous exercise on a regular basis tend to have lower libido. While this is a potential problem for elite athletes or others that are pushing themselves to the maximum without adequate recovery, this is not something most of us need to worry about.
As for the influence of sex on physical exercises, the common wisdom has long been that sexual activity before competition reduces aggression and strength. As coach Rocky Balboa said in the movie "Rocky", "women weaken their legs."
But the studies did not support the faith. One study involving former male athletes showed seizure strength the morning after they had sex with their wives, and then repeated the test after the men abstained for at least six days. There was no difference in the test results. Similarly, in another study conducted among male athletes, it was found that sexual activity does not affect performance when carrying out a stress test. However, subjects who had sex two hours before the test started had higher heart rates during recovery from training.
In general, the study suggests that sex before physical activity has no negative effects if there is a lag of at least two hours, and sexual activity is also not related to alcohol, drugs or sleep loss. In fact, it's possible that sex can even improve athletic performance by helping people relax.
But much remains unknown, including whether women suffer differently than men. It is likely that the effect of sex on physical activity varies from person to person.
If you are wondering whether sex is an exercise, it depends on the length and intensity of your love game. A study of young people showed that sexual activity burned, on average, three or four calories per minute. (Men burned more than women.) The level of intensity was considered moderate, comparable to the level of walking or doubling tennis.
However, for most people, sex does not last until other actions, which means that it burns fewer calories altogether. In the above study, when sexual activity was compared to a 30-minute, moderately intense training on a treadmill, the treadmill burned about three times as many calories. But sexual activity really reached one measure: almost 100% of participants rated it as more pleasant.
