HOW TO HAVE BETTER SEX
Jul 03, 2007
A higher sex drive appears to be a physiological outcome of exercising. It has been reported that exercise promotes the release of testosterone in males and dopamine in females
resulting in increased levels of desire. Research conducted at the University of Texas at Austin concluded that female subjects who completed intense aerobic activity experienced
heightened arousal levels. Lead researcher, Cindy Meston, further found that a stimulated nervous system enhanced the womens libido
From a psychological viewpoint, experts agree that the healthy body image, raised self-esteem and heightened body awareness of fit people enhances their performance and
libido. People who workout regularly feel good about themselves and therefore tend to have a greater sex drive, be less sexually inhibited, have more confidence and are open to more sexual experiences.
Frequency
Whitten and Whiteside reported that the 40 year old and older athletes in their study were more sexually active than the same age groups in the general population. Similar results were yielded in a University of California study that found frequency of sexual activity increased for 78 sedentary middle-aged men when they began exercising three to five times a week. Comparably, research conducted at Bentley College in Massachusetts concluded
that physically active women in their 40s engaged in sex more often than their peers who were inactive. When asked her thoughts, Rita Farias, Owner Phoenix Fitness replied
Do it often, do it well, and do it with a Personal Trainer!
Quality
Reports also point to a better quality sex life for those who exercise consistently. Mestons research showed that active women were more responsive to sex as they responded more quickly and intensely to erotic stimuli after vigorous exercise than when they did not exercise at all. Meston suggests that exercise can help women overcome problems with sex drive, arousal and orgasm.
The study of sedentary men at the University of California demonstrated an overall improvement in sexual functioning. In addition to more frequent sex, these men reported having
more orgasms, more reliable functioning during sex and greater sexual satisfaction. A 10-year investigation at the New England Research Institute revealed a direct link
between physical activity and erectile functioning. The men who worked out had the
lowest risk of E.D. while the inactive group had the highest risk. Furthermore, impotency
was found to be reversed most effectively by regular exercise. Another study carried out at the Harvard School of Public Health found that men who exercised regularly were half as likely to have erection problems as sedentary men.
Recent research from the Center for Obesity Management of the Second University of Naples discovered a significant improvement in the sexual performance of obese men who
adapted a healthy lifestyle. One third of the 110 obese men with E.D. reported being able to consistently achieve an erection after they began exercising regularly and losing weight.
Scientific data also purports that exercise boosts potency by increasing the synthesis of nitric
oxide, the same substance that Viagra helps to produce. Murray Middlemost Owner of Phoenix Fitness and You its about time! states I am not surprised by any of the results
Phoenix has been doing it for people for 20 years!
Stamina
Aerobic exercise can help ensure that the body is cardiovascularly able to endure sexual activity.
More fit people can engage in sexual interaction longer without tiring out. Weight bearing exercises help strengthen the specific muscles that are utilized during sexual intercourse such as shoulders, chest and abdominals thereby increasing stamina and enhancing sexual pleasure.
Overall body conditioning can enhance sexual activity by building the muscular strength needed to be able to hold various positions for longer lasting sex.
Exercise also improves flexibility, which expands the possibilities for variety in terms of sexual positions and makes them easier to execute. Exercise also reduces joint and muscle pain enabling for sexual interaction without injuries.
Extended Sex Life
Not only can exercise improve ones sex life, it can also prolong it. Several studies have concluded that older men who keep physically active have more sex, more frequently and with more satisfaction than inactive men. Research has revealed that a decline in erectile functioning
often attributed to age is in fact the result of inactivity. Eric Rimm at the Harvard School of Public Health conducted a study of men over the age of 50 and found that those who exercised regularly had a 30 percent lower risk of impotence than sedentary men. The more fit the man the better he reported his erection to be. Being active and living a healthy lifestyle had the effect of adding 10 years to a mans sex life.
Exercise also has similar benefits for menopausal and postmenopausal women. Judith Gerber at the University of Vermont followed women throughout the menopause transition
and found the only variable that correlated with sex drive was exercise. Women who were active had more sexual desire and were more sexually satisfied than the women who did
not exercise. It can be fun and easy; you can do it alone, with a partner, or for variety and the best results you can do it with a professional replies Chris, Personal Trainer

Thus, according to scientific data, physically fit people of all ages are more likely than inactive people to enjoy sex, be more sexually active, have a higher sex drive, be more sexually confident, have fewer functional problems and have an enhanced ability to be aroused and achieve an orgasm. Can there be any better motivation to join a Club and get active?
