Exercise and Benefits of Sex




Deion Sanders once said, “If you look good, you feel good. If you feel good, you play good. If you play good, they pay good.” Now Deion was referring to professional football, but this can also be applied to sex and exercise in general.  An improved body image can increase sex drive and motivation and being more comfortable with your body leads to improved sexual performance and relaxation. A 2004 study at The University of Arkansas verified that more physically fit men and women rated their own sexual desirability higher than less active men and women the same age. This study also  demonstrated that 80% of males and 60% of females who exercised two to three times a week, rated their own sexual desirability as above average.1
A healthy sex life should be a beneficial concern for every individual wanting to live a long and happy life. By exercising and creating a better sex life, more benefits can be added to your health. Arousal and orgasms release the hormone oxytocin and decrease cortisol, shutting down areas of the brain linked to stress, fear and anxiety.2 The day after a good night’s sleep, people have more energy and the passion to do things with the people in their life. With better sleep, the body is able to fight off diseases and things like headaches and body aches and pains are lessened.
As for living longer, a study of 29,000 men found that those who had more sex than those who had less than 7 times a month,developed prostate cancer much less.2
Circulation issues are what tend to lead to erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. Exercise and increased cardiovascular health improves erections and the frequency of erections. After exercise endorphins are released which make people feel good and have a sense of accomplishment, much like the feeling after sex. A better body means a better sex life.

  1. Wow Im surprised nobody else commented on this, but this is true because when you exercise there is an increase of testosterone in the body. With that increase of testosterone there is an increase of sex drive. Thats why when women under going a sex change or men taking testosterone supplements state that there sex drive has increase. Its also true for women too. Women have estrogen and testosterone and men have the same. Its just that women have more estrogen and men have more testosterone.
