    Yes! Simply and pleasantly yes. Not only is it a Workout itself but added confidence , more energy, and knowing that person can't get enough of you ;)

    I wish I could agree, maybe it's an age thing.

    So did I at 38, but after a work out... That's the last thing on my mind. It's more like FEED ME!!!! After a good sweat.

    I'll second the motion, but change "Not Always" to "Nearly Ever". Funny how my work outs don't effect my wife?

    Yeah I know what that's like I've got no one either. One of the reasons my boyfriend left me was (this is a quote from him) "you make me feel like a sex toy."

    Apparently exercise has boosted my sex drive so much it drove my boyfriend away lol. Either that or he disliked the confidence I gained lol.

    Absolutely. My drive is naturally high and only gets higher when I workout regularly. Not always a bad side effect though. ;)

    Without a doubt! When I'm working out regularly, it makes me way more frisky. Not to mention how much it increases my confidence, which just makes it even more fun for both parties. :)
