CAN regular exercises boost sex life and general well being in both sexes?

Over the past few years, several unrelated scientific studies have confirmed that there is a connection between regular physical activity and sex. According to Dr. Tina Penhollow from the University of Florida, United States (U.S.) who was actively involved in one such study – physical activity acts as a powerful aphrodisiac in most women.

Also, Chief Medical Officer of BodyLogicMD, U.S., the largest franchise of physicians specializing in bioidentical hormone therapy, By Dr. Jennifer Landa, has explained how exercise boosts sex life.

Landa who spent 10 years as a traditional Obstetrics and Gynaecology (OB-GYN), and then became board-certified in regenerative medicine, with an emphasis on bio-identical hormones, preventative medicine and nutrition noted: “Finding the motivation to exercise has eluded the masses for years. Only a small fraction of the population is privy to the experience known as “runner’s high,” and even fewer actually enjoy the ‘pain’ that comes with pushing your body to its limits. But if exercise means having a better sex life, including increased stamina and better orgasms – would you be more inclined to sweat it out?”


Landa, who is the author of “The Sex Drive Solution for Women” noted: “There is a proven direct link between sex and exercise. When you exercise, the brain produces endorphins that stimulate the release of sex hormones. These hormones reduce your heart rate, improve digestion, lower blood pressure and cortisol levels and relax the body. Oh, and you also might just feel primed and ready for a little one-on-one time in the bedroom.”

According to Penhollow, the following is a list of things that came as a direct result of regular exercise and how they changed the sex life of women. Physical activity accelerates excitement and arousal

A scientific study has shown that women who are practicing physical activity on a regular basis can get excited much faster than those who are passive. Furthermore, they are able to achieve orgasm more frequently and they experience it in a more intensive way. There is actually a simple explanation for this occurrence – cardio exercises improve blood flow, including circulation in the genital area thus enhance strong erection. As we all know improved circulation is one of the key elements of strong orgasm. Without proper circulation women often experience dryness in this area and lack of ability to feel excited.
Physical activity improves focus

Many modern women are suffering from lack of concentration when it comes to sex. For example, they are in bed, they feel loved and in the mood for sex, but their thoughts slowly start to drift away. They think about their job, their exams or some other everyday activities. Regular physical activity can help women synch their body and mind, so that they can completely shut down all other thoughts when they are having sex. This allows them to experience this activity on a whole different level, which is much more interesting and exciting.

Increases sexual endurance

According to some studies, orgasm in women can sometimes last for up to 12 minutes or even longer. If you get tired and exhausted early, you are missing the best part of making love. The only way to increase endurance and have marathon sex session without any restrictions and limitations is to start exercising.

Exercise brings benefits for the libido

During strength training, the body is overwhelmed by hormone growth and testosterone, which are crucial for increasing muscle mass and libido too. Physical activity boosts the mood

Even a small amount of drop in mood can have negative impact on our sexual desire. Exercise makes us feel better because the body is filled with endorphins and sex starts to sound like an excellent idea!

Meanwhile, Landa noted: Sexual benefits of fitness

Cardio: Cardiovascular exercise, such as running, rollerblading or even a pick-up game of basketball can rev up beta-endorphins, which will cause your heart to race and your blood to flow to all the right places. Engage in these activities with your partner, and you will find your desire almost doubles.

Strength: The cure for a low libido is lurking amid all the steel and iron at your local gym too. Strength training increases levels of growth hormone, which contributes to spikes in testosterone – the hormone of arousal. Including strength training into your routine two or three times per week, along with adequate sleep, has been shown to improve sexual arousal.

Yoga: The roots of yoga date back centuries, when the practice was used to stimulate a sexual awakening (also known as tantra.). Focusing your mind and tuning into your senses in a yoga class can work wonders for your sex life – not to mention, improve flexibility for trying new positions with your partner.

In general, engaging in physical activity improves self-esteem and immunity, helps you manage a healthy weight, and increases stamina and energy – all the ingredients for a healthy libido.
Battle of the sexes

A 2008 study conducted at Florida Atlantic University, U.S., found that men and women who exercised frequently were more likely to rate themselves higher in regards to sexual performance and sexual desirability. However, these researchers found that the improvements in sexual health varied between the two sexes. Physical activity was shown to prime a woman’s body for sexual activity by making her more sensitive to touch and increasing the efficacy of stimuli, while men experience improved sexual function and better orgasms.
