    I'm with you! I'm only 4 11 and I went from 236 down to 172 so far. When I was bigger I did not want anything to do with sex. Actually causing problems in the marriage. Now, I can't stop wanting it all the time. I not only have a higher drive, the sex is over all more exciting than before.

    My sex drive is the same. Losing the weight makes it easier to get into position(s) and last longer. If only my husband felt the same way.

    I'm the opposite of most of the responses here.........Mine has way gone down because I'm too effin exhausted all the time from training 6 days week.

    I feel like I've always had a pretty high sex drive. But before it was like I wanted to have sex but was really embarrassed about how I looked which kind of made it not so enjoyable.
    I still have about 45 lbs that I want to lose but I honestly am coming to love the way my body looks and that's the ultimate goal for me. If I get to a point where I'm super happy with how I look and it's not that goal weight, I'll stop losing.
    So my desire/want for sex is probably about the same, but I feel much better about it and enjoy it so much more.

    It does take up a lot of brain space though if I'm being honest.

    I lost around 3 stone last year, my sex drive was soaring as I began to gain more confidence in my body - but, in my case the other half could not see past the rest of the fat still to lose. It's not always our fault......

    Mrs. isn't able. I'm not willing. It isn't happening.

    Still.

    Mine has improved somewhat. I have noticed if I take a rest day and/or don't eat as healthy as I usually do, the sex drive immediately crashes.

    I guess I must be an outlier, then. My libido hasn't decreased, regardless of what weight I am. Probably to the point that it annoys my husband.

    I want it almost all the time and weight gain/loss has never changed that.

    The problem comes in when your libido skyrockets, and your partner's doesn't.

    I did not find any significant difference in sex drive unless I wasn't eating appropriately. The first time I lost weight, I lost some of my sex drive because I was undereating. This time, I haven't felt any major difference.

    My wife would tell you I was always horny 50 pounds ago and I'm always horny now. Sex is definitely better at 215 then 320. Better stamina, more flexibility, and my wife loves the muscles.

    My sex drive sky rocketed there for a little while.. I've lost 77lbs with 23 more to go. I was feeling really sexy at 1 point.. but the closer I get to my goal weight the more disgusted I am with how my body looks.. meaning... the loose skin on my belly. I still have quite a bit of weight on my belly to lose plus I have the loose skin.. not attractive :( it bothers me.. it doesn't bother my husband tho. But when things are getting heated in the bedroom I start thinking to myself "how can he stand to look @ me?" Ugh :(

    Same here with my wife. Loose skin bothers me, but doesnt bother her at all.

    Hi. Loosing weight has many benefits, but no body ever talks about how it has effected them Sexually. Please feel free to throw in your thoughts.

    Personally:
    After loosing 73lbs, i see:
    - Higher stamina
    - Always wanting sex
    - Lasting waaaay longer than before
    - etc, etc

    Sex is just like other exercises now for me going easier 😅
