    Not sure. I would love to find out , tho. HaHa! I've read somewhere that for every 30lbs of weight loss(not sure if it is total weight loss or 30lbs of fat loss), that you can see 1 inch more of your penis as it is freed from the fat deposits that are stacked on your pelvis pushing your penis inward towards the abdomen. When it's easier to use, I guess that ,in -of-itself, can bring some psychological excitement to the bedroom. One other thing that I remember that my family practice doctor told me was that uncontrolled diabetes can contribute to nerve damage to the penis causing the penis to remain mostly flaccid or causing it to have difficulty to become erect during times that you would normally be aroused. In addition to that, Nerve damage to the penis can cause a person to get Urinary incontinence. It would be a great idea to see if previous or current uncontrolled diabetes has caused any nerve damage so far by taking a visit to the urologist. I'm going to be seeing one next month. With that being said, Weight loss has a dramatic effect on controlling glucose and A1C levels. I guess everything has a cause and effect both desirable and undesirable. I'm only speaking strictly as a lay person. I'm not the authority on any of this. But, I'm looking forward to turning the page on my sex-life dry spell. Obviously, I don't expect to be considered a desired person for sex if i'm morbidly obese. I'm starting my own weight loss journal. I plan to be able to get off of my meds. My starting weight was 333lbs. I'm down about 14lbs at 319lbs. I've created a significant caloric deficit in my daily diet. I started on the popular fad, Paleo diet. It's generally low in carbs but not as drastic as the Atkins diet. I'll see how it works out in the long run. But I know the question is about love life. So I look forward to getting back to you on that as my weight loss journey and overall health improves.-Emilio V. (Houston, TX).

    Well there's a physiological and a psychological aspect to your sex life so it's not surprising that, with the right partner, a positive change in your level of fitness, ease in your body and confidence in your physicality will have a significant impact on your sex life. Well, that and a dirty mind.

    Dirty Mind does the trick. Lol.

    Well, that very much depends on how much cardio exercising you do. The weird thing is that when you train too much, then you sex drive can reduce significantly. I had reached a point when I would do cardio twice a day i.e. swim 2km / cycle 35km / run 10km and I can tell you that I had no sex drive whatsoever. Not just with my wife, but nothing at all. (And by nothing, I mean nothing, no sex thoughts, no sex activity whatsoever, etc.)
    I mean you are freed from that kind of thoughts which is liberating in a way but it is not sustainable, in particular if you have another half in your life.
    So reducing cardio to a more appropriate level, and then the sex drive gets back.

    Well, let's be real for a second. Once you've lost all that belly fat, your penis does look much bigger (and in a way, it is depending on how much you lost), and as you also feel much better about yourself, it does affect your sex life in a good way.

    As I lost weight, my girlfriend's sex drive got stronger.

    My weight hasn't affected mine very much as far as I can tell. Lifting seems to keep me in the mood more of the time.

    As I feel more confident, the drive is much stronger.
    I am sure Viagra would prefer men to stay obese.

    When I got really little and lean I actually lost my libido. Low fat intake, lower body fat %...nope. I'm obviously not little and lean anymore, so it's ok.

    Right? I never realized how bad it could be. It was actually quite embarrassing and put a huge strain on my relationship. I miss being little, but not miserable and frigid lol.
