Men who exercise enjoy benefits in the bedroom
Men who exercise enjoy at least five sexual benefits as a result of their efforts at the gym. Of course, there are countless health benefits of maintaining a regular fitness habit, but these documented perks are specific to the bedroom.
Improved satisfaction with sexual functioning. A study conducted at the University of California-San Diego followed seventy-eight middle aged men who exercised regularly over a period of nine months. The men reported improved sexual satisfaction and better orgasms as a result of the exercise.
Decreased risk of erectile dysfunction. After studying more than 31,000 men, the Harvard School of Public Health researchers reported that those who were physically active “had a 30 percent lower risk for erectile dysfunction than the men with little or no physical activity,” according to CNN.com.
Increased stamina. The University of California-San Diego study also indicated that the group of men who exercised noticed improved sexual stamina.
Improved confidence and desirability. A study in the Electronic Journal of Human Sexuality reports that people who exercise regularly feel better about themselves, feel more sexually desirable and report higher levels of satisfaction.
Better performance. According to DiscoveryHealth.com, improved muscle tone can increase sexual gratification since orgasms depend on multiple muscle activity. In the case of the more mature man, improved cardiovascular fitness can be critical for maximum sexual function.
So how much exercise is necessary to start cashing in? Most of the research suggests that a 30 minute per day habit at least five times per week will do the trick. Joining a gym is a great way to get started. Click here for a comprehensive guide to joining and using a health club.
