Physical Fitness and Sex

There’s no question that your level of physical fitness has a lot to do with your sexual prowess.  Sure, there are the occasional anomalies who seem to be able to get it on in the bedroom at the drop of a hat and also to go forever, who aren’t exactly the picture of buff good health and physical fitness (think of Ron Jeremy and his not so fit body), but for the most part, we all know that when we are in better shape in our lives, we tend to follow suit with our sexual prowess and endurance.  You always notice that when you are eating right, your weight is healthy, and you are getting plenty of exercise, you get better erections that last longer, plus you seem to have a much stronger libido?

I sure do, and I know that all the difference comes in through my level of fitness.  It gets much better when I make sure I’m getting a lot of cardio workouts in, and I’m also doing my benching.  Not only is the additional muscle a turn on for your partner, but she’ll also notice that you seem to be long winded whereas before you may have run out of breath easily (which by the way impacts your orgasm quality big time), and that you seem to be able to make your erection last much longer.  I know I’ve gotten comments like that before!

You see, when you’re physically fit, you have a much better blood flow. What’s an erection?  An erection is increased blood flow to the penis. That is how you get an erection, your penis fills with blood and becomes hard and stands tall, making it a tool to have sex.  When you are exercising and increasing the blood flow and improving your circulation, it’s sort of like you are providing you penis and nether regions with it’s very own natural Viagra – or Cialis or Levitra for that matter.

Because your body is used to pumping out larger amounts of blood to supply the muscles with more oxygen and circulate more of the blood to these areas that demand it when you are stressing the muscles, your body adapts and is better able to push more blood to other areas, like the chambers of your penis that fill up and create an erection, when duty calls, making it easier and much more automatic.
