I just read an article that stated that libido increased and sexual preformance improved significantly in those who exercise at least 3x per week for 30 min per day. This study was all male subjects. I can understand this phenomena because testosterone increases in men when they exercise, especially when they lift weights. Im wondering if the same effects happen to women when they exercise...

Men and women please feel free to reply....

Does exercise increase libido and/or improve sexual preformance?

    Well, it's been quite an informal study I've done and n=1, but I'd have to say yes.

    Uh yeah!

    Anything that makes you healthier usually increases your libido...

    You are more physically fit so you can enjoy it more, therefore want it more.

    Also...seeing hot guys at the gym working out doesn't hurt a woman's libido either.....

    Yes. Definite increase. And the extra balance and muscle strength I now have makes things a bit more . . . theatrical. So it's kind of like rediscovering sex all over again.

    I don't know, but anything that makes you feel more attractive is likely to help, and nothing makes you feel more attractive than the results of exercise

    Absolutely, it was the most surprising result for me....that combined with the fact that not only did I want more sex, but by not having to drag my belly around in a wheelbarrow, more people wanted to have it with me...bonus!

    Agree. We feel like we are working hard on looking good, extra energy, an aura, a pep in the step.
